Process diversity has recently become a target for the attention of a large part of the Software Engineering community. It implies that in order for a process model to be effective it must be specialized with respect to the context in which the process is execute. The authors face this problem by proposing ProMisE, a process pattern based framework able to capitalize the experiences gained in using a process model in diverse environments. It is an experience base focused on process models.

By using ProMisE, two major advantages can be observed: it improves context comprehension; it improves the comprehension of the relationship between context characterization and process tailoring.
