Abstract
Many organizations require financial justification before proceeding with a product line approach. The approach may appear very attractive in an intuitive sense, and it offers the obvious benefits of a faster time to market and higher quality. But, without the cost figures, the decision makers won’t budget funds or personnel resources to carry out the up-front asset construction tasks. In addition, not all organizations are ready to commit up front to a full asset set—one that covers most if not all product line features. They favor a more incremental approach that tackles the areas of highest and most readily available commonality first.
