Realisierungen

Realisierungen is the plural form of Realisierung, a German noun derived from realisieren, meaning to realize, implement, or materialize. It denotes both the process of turning an idea, plan, or requirement into a tangible result and the resulting outcome itself. The term is used across different disciplines to describe how intentions are converted into concrete products, services, or states.

In project management and engineering, Realisierung refers to the execution phase from concept to completion. It covers planning, procurement, development, testing, deployment, and commissioning, as well as post‑implementation review. The term is often used together with qualifiers such as Realisierungsgrad (degree of realization) and Realisierungszeit (time to realization) to assess progress and performance.

In software development and information technology, Realisierung denotes the implementation and integration work required to deliver a functioning system according to a specification. In construction and manufacturing, it similarly describes the building, assembly, and delivery of a completed project or product.

In finance and accounting, Realisierung is used to distinguish realized from unrealized gains or revenues. Realized profits or revenues are those that have been earned or recognized through a completed sale, delivery, or performance, whereas unrealized figures reflect values on paper rather than actual cash flow.

Beyond business and finance, Realisierung can refer to the artistic, intellectual, or policy-oriented realization of ideas—turning plans or concepts into concrete artifacts, performances, or enacted measures. Related terms include Umsetzung and Ausführung, which are often used synonymously in varying contexts.
