Abstract

The rapid evolution of technologies affects industries that have subsequently made the transition to digital. This transition implies the transformation towards Industry 4.0. The latter is characterized by the increasing interconnection of equipment through the Internet of Things. Also, this evolution has strongly impacted the complexity of projects. At this moment, a reliable project management method must be applied to allow good project management considering the customer’s changing needs. Project management experts make a great effort to train their team on the functionality and operation of the method. Among these methods, we have the Feature Driven Development (FDD) method. It is an agile method dedicated to large projects. This paper in the first phase aims to help these experts and anyone who wants to know the process of the FDD method through a business process model using the BPMN standard. In a second phase, we will propose a metamodel that defines the method entities, the properties of their connections, and their consistency rules using the MetaObject Facility (MOF) standard.
