A product-line-orientated approach plays a decisive role in the development of high quality products, whilst at the same time reducing development costs. Cost savings are made by reusing standard components that have already been developed and tested and integrating variants of these standard components into various systems within the product range. Product-line management therefore begins with the requirements for standard components, product lines and platforms.
HOOD has many years of experience in dealing with product lines, in managing variants and in integrating requirements management and variant/product-line management. We will help you to establish a product-line architecture that is tailored to your company's own situation. Good practices will support the efficient establishment of a domain, the basis for your product line. They will also support the approach to handling the instantiating of products from the obligatory and variable subsystems that are managed in your domain.
