Production Planning in a Software Product Line Organization

Abstract

Production planning gives early guidance concerning how products should be built and hence how core assets should be designed. The production strategy addresses business goals through product building. The production method implements the production strategy by delineating exactly how a product is built from core assets. The production plan instantiates the production method for a specific product. In this tutorial we will layout production planning in a software product line and provide examples from a number of different product lines.
