Software organizations are constantly looking for better solutions when designing and using well-defined software processes for the development of their products and services. However, many software development processes lack for more support on project management issues. This work proposes a model that integrates the concepts of PMBOK and RUP, helping process integration and assisting managers in the decision making process during project planning. We present the model and the results from a qualitative exploratory evaluation of a tool that implements the proposed model, conducted with project managers from nine companies.
