The mega-trends of the global economy evolve the necessity for enterprises to work together effectively and efficiently. These collaborative business scenarios depend on real-time processes in mobile settings where the interaction between partners is conducted. To support the planning and control of these mobile business processes is very complex. Thus a mobile device supported architecture is presented as a framework to enable process management in mobile scenarios. In order to cope with the complexity this approach proposes a Mobile-BPM-Lifecycle consisting of five crucial steps to establish mobile collaboration. This kind of mobile BPM requires a strong tool support for the mobile user on site as well as a desktop solution for the process controller. First building blocks of such a prototype are presented.
