Product Line Practice (PLP) Initiative

A software product line approach involves systematic large-scale reuse rather than traditional one-at-a-time system development.

Through software product lines companies can realize order-of-magnitude improvements in time to market, cost, productivity, quality, and other business drivers. The commercial impact of product lines is now seen in a variety of domains, including office appliances, avionics, medical devices, automotive, and telecommunications

The SEI Product Line Practice (PLP) Initiative works to make software product line development and acquisition a low-risk, high-return proposition.
