Abstract
Many organizations with an existing process improvement initiative are also considering a software product line adoption initiative. Managers in these organizations often ask how they can build on their process improvement work and reconcile these two significant change initiatives. This technical note addresses one aspect of this question: how a process improvement infrastructure can provide a foundation for product line adoption.
