A Value-Based Business Approach to Product Line Software Engineering
نویسنده
چکیده
The present conceptual paper is an attempt to provide a Value-Based Business Approach (VBBA) to product line software engineering. It argues that Product line software engineering should be seen as a system and considered as a means towards the end of appropriating more and more value for the business firm; contingent upon the fact that it provides value to customer and customer’s customers operating its value creating system with agility, speed, economy and innovation; getting governed by the positive sum value creation outlook and guided by valuebased management. With our value-based business triad, the product line engineering process can hope to achieve simultaneously value, variety and volume, product differentiation and cost leadership enabling the business firm to land on the virtuous value spiral.
