People Issues in Developing Software Product Lines
Abstract
In this paper we discuss the importance of people and their behavior in the introduction and continuous operation of product lines. We give some hypotheses on how these people issues can be formed in a way favorable to product line development. In particular, we focus on the relation between the mind set of people, communication patterns, and the organizational structure. The hypotheses we provide are derived from our own industrial experience as well as from industry reports. However, this work is in an early stage and mainly aims at contributing to an ongoing discussion of technology transfer in a product line context.
