A process management tool supporting component-based process development and hierarchical management mechanism

How to develop the software process models that satisfy the organization´s standards and the characteristics of software projects, and improve it continuously, is difficulty for software organizations. A process management tool named JBPM (Jade Bird Process Management) proposes a good solution for this issue. JBPM supports component based process development and hierarchical management mechanism which is illuminated by CMM. In order to provide a unified framework for all processes in different projects across the organization, JBPM employs the software lifecycle process framework in ISO/IEC std. 12207 and IEEE std. 1517. and use it as a general requirement specification for those processes.
