Process Technology

Management of business and software processes are areas of increasing interest. which evolved nearly independently from each other. In this article we present an approach to process management that has been applied to business and software processes and which, thereby, enabled cross-fertilization between both areas. The goal of this article is to report lessons learned in industrial as well as academic business and software process management projects.
