The issue of strategic software development management generally assumes the organization is in the software industry.

These organizations must also grapple with strategic and tactical software management issues.

A government created, public architecture for Open Source Electronic Healthcare Records (EHR) systems is examined for potential leveraged development through an SPL approach.
