Software process dynamics challenge the capabilities of process-centered software engineering environments. Dynamic task nets represent evolving software processes by hierarchically organized nets of tasks which are connected by control, data, and feedback flows. Project managers operate on dynamic task nets in order to assess the current status of a project, trace its history, perform impact analysis, handle feedback, adapt the project plan to changed product structures, etc. Developers are supported through task agendas and provision of tools and documents. Chained tasks may be executed in parallel (simultaneous engineering), and cooperation is controlled through releases of document versions. Dynamic task nets are formally specified by a programmed graph rewriting system. Operations on task nets are specified declaratively by graph rewrite rules at a high level of abstraction. Furthermore, editing, analysis, and execution steps on a dynamic task net, which may be interleaved seamlessly, are described in a uniform formalism.

Software quality measurement is closely connected with process and product. With measurement and analysis on software process data, improvement and control on software can be achieved. Effective process performance model plays key role in understanding and controlling. Introduction of GQM model into software measurement process can achieve controllability and testability of software process. GQM uses organization target as measurement index to achieve measurement of software process quantitative. The core idea of CMM/CMMI is to build fact-based management and CMM/CMMI software process management is built on the basis of software measurement. Combining with CMM/CMMI measurement idea, GQM model was expanded to achieve a kind of improved process performance model.
