The present invention relates to a computerized method and system for improving the processing of transition conditions within a Workflow Management System (WFMS) or a computer system with comparable functionality. It is assumed that the WFMS controls the execution of a process-instance being the instance of a process model of a business process. Moreover, the process model comprises a multitude of transition conditions relating to a multitude of process activities respectively, which, if evaluated to TRUE, decide whether any of the corresponding activities is to be launched for execution. The method comprises a definition step dynamically and adaptively defining an evaluation sequence of said transition conditions. Moreover, the method comprises a launching step, wherein the activities corresponding to the transition conditions are launched for execution in the evaluation sequence, if the corresponding transition conditions evaluate to TRUE. The invention is applicable in situations wherein the transition conditions are associated with control connectors as well as in situations wherein the transition conditions are comprised by so-called decision nodes.
