Abstract

Change and evolution of business and technology imply change and evolution of development processes. Besides that for a certain enterprise and/or project we will usually integrate elements from a variety of existing process models, comprising generic standards as well as specific development methods. In this paper we propose a Process Framework which is modularly structured on the basis of the concept of process patterns. This framework allows us to describe development processes in a way such that change, evolution, and integration of processes are facilitated. Founded on our framework we sketch the idea of a living development process. An example illustrates our approach.
