Opportunities for enhanced project management in PSS development

Development processes in product and service engineering are foremost carried out as projects. One characteristic of projects is their uniqueness. As Product-Service Systems (PSS) are intended to be customized solutions, unique development projects are natural for PSS. Nevertheless, there is no specific approach to support an integrated management of product and service development projects. In our paper, we focus on opportunities, a solution approach, and software support for PSS development project management. We provide a set of opportunities how to adapt existing approaches or how to develop new methods for the purpose off fully integrated project-based PSS development.
