Abstract: Project management plays an important role in large-scale multidisciplinary software development. Yet, without a solid process project management is simply a means of tracking down software development activities - it by itself cannot exert much impact to the software quality and productivity. It is through a process centered software development environment that project management can be used effectively. This paper describes such an environment where project management and process modeling are integrated into a cohesive entity in which software engineering activities can be studied in a multidisciplinary setting, manipulated and monitored in terms of the established processes.

Keywords: Process Modeling, Multidisciplinary Project Management
