Software Ecosystems: From Software Product Management to Software Platform Management
نویسندگان
چکیده
Presently, it is impossible to use software product management practices and tools for software platforms that operate in software ecosystems. The extensive and mature Software Product Management Competence Model cannot easily be applied in this context. In this paper the Software Product Management Competence Model is ported towards keystone players in software ecosystems, to create the new Software Platform Management Competence Model. If a keystone player implements the capabilities described in these new tools, it can manage stakeholders, know and align their interest, and thereby further enable value creation by itself and ecosystem members.
