Abstract
Research in software process modelling has been flourishing in the last two decades. The emphasis of the traditional software process modelling approaches was mainly on process automation, process reuse and prediction of process completion. More recent approaches take into account of the business requirements and the influence on the software processes. Most of the existing work only focuses on the development of individual projects. In this paper, we look very briefly at the different developments in software process modelling. Problems associated with the current approaches are identified. Arguments for considering multiple software processes in the business context are presented.
