-====== Use process modules ======
-Just like a system or a system of systems, processes can be broken down into modules that are connected by interfaces. In many cases, these interfaces are work products. Benefits of using process modules are that changes can be applied quicker with less risk for the overall system, and review and approval cycles can be reduced allowing for quicker use, feedback, and improvement of the system. Process modules can also inherit from other modules which is useful in creating project- or program-specific processes.
-Through the module-based approach, changes can be made instantly into all process instances, instead of having to wait for next publication of overall process documentation.
-**Ex.** A car manufacturer has three different versions of a model. The differences in the models are the engines. The same process of making the body of the car is in all of the models. The entire process for the car was created and then the modules that are the same in each model are used for each.

-=== Create Process Modules ===
-=== Add Process Modules ===
-For a project- or program-specific workspace, adding process modules from the standard process is a convenient method to create a process.
-**Steps:**
-   - In your project- or program-specific workspace go to the management tab.
-  - Click 'Process Modules'
-  - Click '+ Add modules'
-  - Select the module
-      - If you know the name of the process module, type the name of it in the box with 'Start typing'. A drop down menu of available modules appears. Click the desired module and click 'Next' to add the module.
-      - If you want to search modules, click 'or browse modules.' On this menu, you can browse through the other workspaces to extract a module. Typically, you will take modules from the 'Standard Processes' folder. Click 'Save' to select the module then click 'Next' to add the module.
-  - Stages adds the module to the workspace.
