Overall Process
The product family engineering process consists of several phases. The three main phases are:
- Phase 1: Product management
- Phase 2: Domain engineering
- Phase 3: Product engineering
The process has been modeled on a higher abstraction level. This has the advantage that it can be applied to all kinds of product lines and families, not only software. The model can be applied to any product family. Figure 1 (below) shows a model of the entire process. Below, the process is described in detail. The process description contains elaborations of the activities and the important concepts being used. All concepts printed italic are explained in Table 1.
