1. A method to build a project management process, comprising:
- loading one or more tasks related to the project management process into a project management data repository;
converting the one or more tasks from the project management data repository to one or more process definitions, wherein the one or more process definitions includes at least one of a predefined process definition and a project-specific process definition; and
adapting the one or more process definitions to form the project management process suitable for a workflow engine.

Abstract
In a system and method to build a project management process, standard project management tools are used to design traditional project management tasks. These tasks are converted and mapped to workflow process definitions. The repetitive activities may be predefined in the workflow and mapped appropriately to the tasks as one or more predefined process definitions, each of which may be composed of other predefined process definitions. The resulting workflow process definitions are adapted to form the project management process suitable to be executed in a workflow engine.
