“…Therefore, we extended the investigation to the arrangement or sequence of the blocks. In the literature, different ways of arranging process steps or activities in product development can be found (Blessing, 1994;Vajna, 2005): sequential / serial; iterative / cyclical; parallel / simultaneous or congruent. When transferring this basic idea to the blocks, it becomes apparent that the core difference between methods is the arrangement of the blocks used.…”

The number of publications on methods in product development is increasing constantly. In addition to scientific models, method guidelines exist in practice to support the selection of suitable methods. When looking more closely, it is noticeable that new methods are not new developments of methodical principles, but rather adaptations and summaries of known methods to specific application areas.Although approaches to standardize methods exist, they are usually formulated too abstractly to be useful to project managers as a support for method decision making.In our contribution, we analyse common methods of technical product development regarding similarities in content and time. In doing so, we were able to derive a method DNA on the basis of which all methods can be described and, above all, distinguished in a verifiable manner. In addition to essential activity blocks, the DNA also includes the description of temporal sequences, which in particular enables a differentiation between agile and classic methods. Ultimately, the method DNA not only offers the chance to make methodical work comprehensible, but also the possibility to select methods specifically for upcoming development steps arises through the classification option.

The purpose of this study is to define process management as a requirement of organizational excellence in the twenty-first century business environment. The business environment in the twenty-first century has reached a new height as far as challenges are concerned. The Covid-19 pandemic and its consequences have shaped a new business environment that requires organizations and businesses to raise the bar for themselves in honoring their obligation to achieve excellence. This means that competitive advantage, quality service, and product are achieved through organizational excellence. How can process management help organizations and businesses achieve organizational excellence in such a hostile and turbulent business environment? Applying a conceptual approach, the study attempts to answer the question through a comprehensive literature review. Testable propositions have been formulated, action steps defined, and implications of the study established. By identifying workflow design (WFD), control and correction of workflow processes (CCWFP), monitoring of workflow processes (MWFP), and workflow promotion of process-related learning in organizations (WPPRLO) against the background of conceptualization, operationalization, and context, the study findings suggest that process management is indeed a requirement for organizational excellence in the twenty-first century business environment. Scholars and practitioners have the opportunity to confirm or disconfirm the validity of the assumptions and ideas presented in the study.

“…Moreover, deliverables in ED processes are virtual and not always well defined. These range from data, information, product specifications, concepts, ideas, designs, to trials (and errors) (Vajna, 2005;Helten, 2015). Thus, the outputs of many PD activities cannot be verified until much later (Browning et al, 2006, p. 11).…”

In today's dynamic environment, companies need to adapt their design processes faster than ever. Lack of employee involvement has been highlighted as a main issue during the adoption of new processes in R&D. Existing participatory methods, e.g. in ergonomics, contribute to ease organizational changes. However, their applicability on complex processes is limited. By combining methods from ergonomics and user experience with dynamic process models, we propose an approach that enables process stakeholders (e.g. engineers) to give feedback and to test the planned process in a range of scenarios.
