SPEM
The MDG Technology for SPEM 2.0 is one of the modeling tools integrated with Enterprise Architect.
"The Software and Systems Process Engineering Meta-model (SPEM) is a process engineering meta-model as well as conceptual framework, which can provide the necessary concepts for modeling, documenting, presenting, managing, interchanging, and enacting development methods and processes. An implementation of this meta-model would be targeted at process engineers, project leads, project and program managers who are responsible for maintaining and implementing processes for their development organizations or individual projects."
(Quoted from the Object Management Group (OMG) Software & Systems Process Engineering Meta-Model Specification (Version 2.0, April 01 2008))
SPEM is a Profile of UML, which uses UML as a notation and takes an object-oriented approach. To accommodate UML 2, the SPEM specification was upgraded to 2.0 in April 2008. SPEM 2.0 focuses on providing the additional information structures that you require for processes modeled with UML 2 Activities or BPMN/BPDM, to describe an actual development process.
