Das Projektinformationssystem PRIS

The following contribution shows the central importance of process modelling for the key factors productivity and quality in the software maufactoring process. Process modelling describes and controls the system maufactoring process. A process modell is used to decide the appearance of the activities in a project plan for a particular project. In the project plan the single actions to be performed, their information flow, their expected results and an number of planned items are specified. On the basis of the projectplan an execution component controls and monitors the performance of the currently practicable activities. Their responses supply a protocol component with the important events during processing of the activity. These can range from introducing new activities or splitting into parial activities. Out of the specifications of the activities working environments, so-called working contexts, are generated automatically for individual users. The user does not see all the activit ies he has to deal with within the project, only those which are momentarily practicable. The model developed in PRIS is so general that it is also suitable for the description of processes in other fields of application (for example in Workflow Management or general business processes)
