In this chapter we give an overview of model-driven development (MDD) and explain its relevance to business process engineering.

This paper surveys the relevant literature and work carried out in the area of project management using different models, methodologies, and frameworks. Project Management (PM) broadly means programme management, portfolio management, practice management, etc. A project management system has a set of processes, procedures, framework, methods, tools, methodologies, techniques, resources, etc. which are used to manage the full life cycle of projects. This also means to create risk, quality, performance, and other management plans to monitor and manage projects efficiently and effectively.

The science of modem project management is not new and what seems to have changed over the past decade are the ways of applying theory into practice. This has had as a consequence the need to standardise and structure different project management methods in a detailed, documented and formal manner. On the other hand, change management mostly observed and utilised as an integrated process within project management, is a rational process for exploring decision and behaviour alternatives in an attempt to realign the course of “derailed” deliverables due to change and ensure project success. However, models contained in such frameworks often lack formal semantics and clarity; fail to address and estimate organisational change management as well as risk reasoning as they also do for the rest of the project management processes. This paper argues the existence of a strong coherence between project management and change management; both being transitional activities but simultaneously integrated ones. The model which is presented and analysed regards Project Management Team collaboration success factors and related attributes.

MEASUR’s ontology charts are the product of MEASUR’s semantic analysis; a requirements analysis method used to capture the ontological dependencies of an information system. These charts can be transformed to databases and to database schemas, class diagrams, component architecture diagrams and prototype systems. This paper shows how MEASUR’s ontology charts can be transformed to UML use case diagrams so that developers can get a quick view of the system’s interaction with the users. The paper utilizes the Model Driven Architecture approach and uses simplified versions of the ontology chart and uses case Meta models. For simplicity and clarity reasons the transformation is described in English rather than a transformation language.

An Enterprise Architecture (EA) framework provides an enterprise with the capability to develop an assortment of architectural representations. It usually offers consistent terminologies, suggested models, expected outcomes and a method driving the development of EA. An EA framework enables enterprises to recognize and evaluate inconsistencies or limitations; to facilitate distinguishing and addressing them. A number of frameworks are offered for use at present; their purposes, scope and inner organization are different. Various obstacles will face any enterprise attempting to employ an EA framework to facilitate its objectives. The most crucial decision is to choose a framework that matches the needs and qualities of the enterprise. This study offers an analysis of three dominant frameworks that could afterwards be utilized for guidance in the choice of employed EA Framework that address the required features.

Program management is described as the management of number of projects in order to achieve the desired objectives or results or goals of the organisation as managing the projects individually could not produce the desired outcome. Each project in the program is associated in a systematic way to the program by the central objectives or benefits. A program usually has a longer life span in years and during the program many project are started, accomplished and closed.

The Program Management focuses on planning, mobilizing, and managing a program at a client site with high-quality execution and to achieve the strategic goals and objectives of the organisation.
