Agile Methoden in der Softwareentwicklung sind keine zufällige Erscheinung. Sie haben sich aus der Unzulänglichkeit und Untauglichkeit altbewährter Methoden heraus entwickelt, die — zumindest in bestimmten Problemstellungen — agilen Ansätzen unterlegen sind. Doch was sind die entscheidenden Faktoren, die eine Abkehr von traditionellen Ansätzen rech...

Modeling tools are one of the major success factors for business process management endeavors. They not only ultimately provide the modeling language to be used but also define the way of interaction when creating and using those models. Thereby, already the selection of the right modeling tool is a decisive factor for success or failure of any mod...

The quality determination of business process models is a complex and demanding task. In literature, a plethora of different quality criteria can be identified and are respectively used by practitioners.

The issue of sustainability has been among the top concerns of IT practitioners for some time now. Although sustainability of and through IT can only be reached if all stakeholders work together, current teaching and on-the-job training approaches do not provide the required understanding of how to govern the cooperation. Furthermore, there is a ge...
