Within the collaborative research center "IMPROVE", this project aims at building a universal
administration system for creative technical development processes. Aspects of our current
research work are: 

-the dynamic character of these processes (e.g. handling of feedback, forward
 engineering), 
-tool-support for the process modeler, the project manager and the technical developers, 
-integrated modeling of processes, products and resources, 
-coordination of developments including distributed, independent organizational units, 
 process reuse, 
-user-friendly process modeling languages.
