Summary: The Value of Process Patterns
Comment: Imagine! you are a well founded software engineer and try to establish
the product line approach in your company.
Imagine! managers ask you to proof that the product line approach will
have a "good" return of investment.
Imagine! you open page XXX in your book YYY and start reading section
ZZZ.
Imagine! you develop a concept for a business case in 2 hours though you
haven't attended any business class ever.
Surprise! the you is me
Surprise! the XXX is 365
Surprise! YYY is Linda's and Paul's Product Line Book (Software Product
Lines: Practices and Patterns)
Surprise! ZZZ is the "What to build PATTERN".
The Product Line Patterns are the heart and the most condensed
experience of the SEI Software Product Line Framework. Though most
people do not recognize the patterns give you the balance between too
specific and too general process descriptions. The three cycles Core
Asset Development, Product Development, and Management of the framework
are good for simple overview purpose and therefore appropriate for the
management level. The 29 practice areas guide you through activities and
methods; therefore they are basically at the operational especially the
engineering level.
But it is the patterns that help you to sail though some of the practice
areas to achieve a certain goal. The patterns set the process and the
workflow. They are different for different problems and environments;
that's what a workflow should be.
Hunting for the world wide valid process description that is specific
enough to be meaningful is like trying to invent the perpetum mobile.
Suggesting only one product line process would therefore mean that it is
very general or that it is valid only for certain organizations,
markets, goals, products, and people. The patterns are specific
processes that help to achieve only certain goals in a predefined
environment. Though I think the framework patterns can be improved and
extended they are much more meaningful to the product line community
than any other product line process description I have seen up to now.
Rating: 5
Summary: Excellent!
Comment: I'm the CTO of a company (Monetaire - http://www.monetaire.com) that has recently made the successful transition to a product line focus. This book is by far the best reference I've found on the topic.
