Abstract: A method and an apparatus for transforming generic processes of a domain into executable processes. The method includes the following steps: selecting from a list of generic processes stored in a process repository at least one generic process for a context of the respective domain, performing an operationalization of process elements of said selected processes to generate a corresponding transaction model depending on said context, and instantiating said transaction model on occurrence of a transaction trigger to generate an executable transaction model instance. The method can be implemented as an efficient tool for project planning in an organization comprising several operative units.
