Abstract
The last decade has confronted system designers with the problem that they have to consider the requirements and restrictions of human and organizational context in system development processes. There are lots of tools for supporting the technical design activities but until now project management is lacking effective and efficient tools for handling the human and organizational problems in system design.
The paper describes some tools which were developed in the research project PORGI (Planning model for the Organizational Implementation) and are currently tested in CBIS-projects in two German companies.
