We would claim that these in themselves demonstrate how the FEAST group has and is continuing to address the first three questions that define the WESS'99 workshop theme and its scope [wes99]. One of the key results of FEAST/1 is that the global software process is a feedback system, whose behaviour is strongly impacted by the properties of the feedback mechanisms it contains. The global process includes the activities of all involved, for example, developers, managers, marketeers, support personnel and users, as shown in figure 1. The figure and related concepts are explained in detail in [leh98c].
