DIGITAL PROCESS MANAGEMENT IN MEGA-PROJECTS WITH THE SOFTWARE DIGICON

Innovative Project Delivery models have been introduced in Germany and Austria to mitigate inefficiencies in major infrastructure projects, which often suffer from cost and schedule overruns.These new approaches emphasize risk-sharing, partnership-based collaboration, and innovative contract structures.However, traditional project management and calculation methods lack the necessary transparency, making them unsuitable for effectively implementing these models.Furthermore, partnership-based collaboration requires a structured, standardized, and digital approach to process management.To address this challenge, the DigiCon software has been developed.DigiCon enables digital process visualization and management, offering a user-friendly platform to digitize management processes, represent them in a visually intuitive manner, and monitor workflow execution.This study presents fundamental concepts of process management and modeling through a literature review.It then compares various project management models applied in Germany and Austria, analyzing the methodologies used.These methods are systematically structured as independent and autonomous processes and are subsequently digitized within DigiCon.As a result, this research contributes to the development of a digital collection of innovative project management methods, providing a transparent, structured, and standardized framework to support efficient project execution.
