+Overview
+^^^^^^^^
+
+The module process_description provides a process model establishing organization rules
+for developing open source software in the automotive industry, which can be used in
+safety and security context.
+
+The process model provides processes, which conform to state-of the art standards
+
+ASPICE 4.0
+ISO 26262
+ISO 21434
+ISO PAS 8926
+
+Disclaimer
+----------
+
+This release note does not "release for production", as it does not come with a safety
+argumentation and a performed safety assessment.
+The work products compiled in the safety package are created with care according to a
+process satisfying standards, but the project, being a non-profit and open source
+organization, can not take over any liability for its content.
+
+Changes to the Module
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+New Features
+------------
+
+Closed external audit findings (audit meeting #7, #652) for three process areas:
+
+- Problem Resolution: clarified critical-review topics, notification handling and the two
+  closure conditions for safety-affected problems (#557, by @PandaeDo in
+  https://github.com/eclipse-score/process_description/pull/832)
+- Change Management: clarified Change Management Plan scope, request attributes and
+  impact-analysis prompts, aligned with ISO 26262-8:2018 8.4.1-8.4.4 (#567, by @PandaeDo in
+  https://github.com/eclipse-score/process_description/pull/834)
+- Release/Quality Management: referenced the conformance check and work-product reviews as
+  mandatory input to module/platform release approval (#562, #564, by @PandaeDo in
+  https://github.com/eclipse-score/process_description/pull/835)
+
+Maturity Level 3 is achieved for:
+Documentation Management
+Quality Management

+
+The process model contains
+
+- General concepts e.g. for Building Blocks and their traceability
+- Process meta model for proper modeling
+- Process areas covering the required standards
+- Roles, Work Products, Workflows defining the process areas
+- Standard overview and coverage information
+- Folder templates for simplifying deployment for users
