Abstract
Software systems (SS) project failure has been a recurring problem for decades. One of the project success factors is the appropriately chosen project management methodology and its adaption to the project type, company, and employees. Although some methods have been proposed to address this problem, the number of failed projects shows that the problem is still relevant. Therefore, a new and more efficient solution is needed. This paper proposes a new approach for choosing and adopting a project management methodology to a particular context (i.e., the project type, company, and its employee, etc.). It is based on dynamic CMMN (case management model and notation) SS project management process modelling and simulation. The proposed approach is evaluated with an industry case study. The obtained results showed that the proposed approach is implementable and can be used for SS project simulation.

Using CMMN Model for Software System Project Simulation
