Abstract

This article describes the approach of two big companies to combine their different process worlds and the experiences the author made. The purpose is to give the reader an understanding of the factors that have an influence in creating a global process definition. Cultural differences are playing an important role, also the different languages. Before talking about the content, the parties have to clarify the framework such as the process architecture or the process design methods. Furthermore, it is important to define tailoring conditions to be flexible enough to use the new process on different project areas. And finally the new process has to prove that it can be lived in real life. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
