Abstract
A majority of technology startups fail; inadequate software engineering practices are known to be a contributing factor. The smooth transitioning towards software product lines in particular is a major stumbling block for startups that must broaden their product portfolio to deal with divergent demands imposed by the market. We conducted a preliminary study within two software engineering startups, which revealed the motivating factors and benefits that would lead to the migration from a single product into a product line. Despite the benefits, tackling the challenges foreseen and the identification of features and their relations in the current product is the crucial first step towards implementing an appropriate highly-configurable product portfolio.
