      <Paragraph>Optimization phases are stages in the business process
		improvement cycle, on the basis of which future changes in the organization can
		be researched and planned.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>Optimization phases only apply to project models and can be
		linked to business functions, and business processes. Therefore, linking
		optimization phases to these model items will only make them active during the
		phases to which they are linked.</Paragraph>
      <ExampleSection>
         <SectionTitle>Beispiel</SectionTitle>
         <Paragraph>You can determine that a certain business function must only
		  be used starting from the first optimization phase, instead of from the initial
		  implementation phase.</Paragraph>
         <Paragraph>In the reference model you could only specify which business
		  functions, processes, and so on had to be used, and which ones were not to be
		  used.</Paragraph>
         <Paragraph>In the project model this is specified by the optimization
		  phase.</Paragraph>
