Projects Overview

A business project is the combination of a series of actions or operations pursuing a common business purpose. These activities, either human or automated, need to be executed in order to deliver a product or service. Business requirements may involve functional integration across the company or organization.

A Project involves not only the representation of all the elements that are part of a business, the human resources, the organization, the processes and the systems execution but also the way in which all of them interact.

Projects enable you to group processes that are related in some way and separate them from other groups.

Each project has its own component catalog so that you will be able to separate components used in some processes but not in others by grouping them in different projects. The project also contains all the abstract user roles used in it and its own Organization information required in order to deploy the project.
