Discussion

Steffen Walter Feb 27, 2004:
But "practised" will do the trick nicely on its own.
Steffen Walter Feb 27, 2004:
Where's the problem? "wenn der Softwareentwicklungsproze� gelebt und angewandt wird" - that's an at least partial redundancy so typical for the German. If you want to keep it, you could say "if the software development process is practised and applied".
Non-ProZ.com Feb 27, 2004:
Just to make it more difficult :) Ihre Einf�hrung macht jedoch erst Sinn, wenn der Softwareentwicklungsproze� gelebt und angewandt wird, da die Schlu�folgerungen aus diesem Post Mortem Review der Proze�verbesserung des Entwicklungsprozesses dienen.
Non-ProZ.com Feb 27, 2004:
I get the meaning, but I can't find the right word It appears several times in the text in the same context, and I would like to have one word if possible. But a paraphrase might also do. As far as the meaning is concerned, I tend to think somewhere along the suggestion of Steffen Walter.

practised/applied (in day-to-day business)

The process must/needs to be implemented and ***practised*** in order to make this activity useful (in order to give a sense to this activity?).

IMHO "der Prozess muss gelebt werden" just says that it needs to be practised/applied/followed throughout the course of business.

agree sylvie malich (X) : of course. Typical German-speak.

agree Aniello Scognamiglio (X) : "gelebt werden" hat Vorbildcharakter! Habe ich so in meinen Software-Projekten kennengelernt. Und "Leben"/"Vorleben" muß in erster Linie das Management:-)

lived with

Obviously you can't just say "lived" in this context, but I would have thought that "implemented and lived with" would be perfectly, well, sinnvoll.

used in (everyday) practice

my take
Peer comment(s):
agree Armorel Young : just plain used would probably do

neutral Aniello Scognamiglio (X) : I am not sure: can a process be "used"?
