contents Digital twins promise a better understanding and use of complex systems. To this end, they represent these systems at their runtime and may interact with them to control their processes. Software engineering is a wicked challenge in which stakeholders from many domains collaborate to produce software artifacts together. In the presence of skilled software engineer shortage, our vision is to leverage DTs as means for better rep- resenting, understanding, and optimizing software engineering processes to (i) enable software experts making the best use of their time and (ii) support domain experts in producing high-quality software. This paper outlines why this would be beneficial, what such a digital twin could look like, and what is missing for realizing and deploying software engineering digital twins.
