Executing process models: activity and project management

Developing software products is both a technical and a managerial challenge. The integration of these two areas (the logical/technical prescription of the process model with the resource-oriented planning and control of project management), however, still needs further discussion and clarification.

We also show how an integrated software engineering environment handles software process enactment based on both activities defined via a process model and on requirements resulting from project management
