What is SPL migration tensions: an industry experience about?

In a software development environment where legacy software systems have been successfully deployed, there are tensions that deter the organization from moving towards software product line engineering (SPLE). An example is the effort required to develop a product line architecture versus time-to-market pressure or the lack of evidence to justify the benefits of SPLE. In this report we discuss the tensions that exist in Océ Technologies. A reactive software reuse approach has not yielded the desired long-term benefits of reusability. A proactive approach requires knowledge exchange and coordination between software management and technical staff. We describe how such knowledge sharing can ease the tensions and facilitate a SPLE migration process.
