To date, many software development methodology evaluation models and theories have been proposed. Most of them, however, neglect the economical aspect of SDM, which results in management having little role in decisions regarding SDM. Consequently enterprises do not reap all the potential benefits that SDM adoption may bring. In this thesis a SDM evaluation model that combines social, technical and economical aspect of SDM is introduced. Proposed model makes evaluation based on SDM activities, unlike existing models that focus specifically on SDM as a whole. This facilitates identifying critical activities and helps managers at making better decisions regarding SDM investments. The model was tested on a practical case of Slovenian company. The results confirmed that evaluating individual SDM activities as well as making the evaluation using the three aspects is a reasonable approach.
