Therefore there is an evident impact in software process improvement (SPI) settings. These multimodel environments are not just specific for critical systems but for a wide set of environments. Some experiences adopting two different standards or models have been reported during these recent years. Basically they are based on mappings between process models at a high level. However these works are appropriated for people with a huge knowledge on two specific standards, but they do not provide a roadmap on how to effectively apply to company settings. This paper is focused on to provide a harmonised framework not only covering practices based process models but also covering products characteristics. In addition we reconcile this framework for safety critical systems. %~
