Abstract
Innovation is regarded a key element for an organization’s business success. The models and methods available for innovation management mainly concentrate on the product and service businesses in consumer or business-to-business markets. Software Product Line Engineering (SPLE) allows delivering customized software at reduced costs and development time while simultaneously enhancing quality. To reach that, SPLE employs proactive planning and engineering which require prescribing product features, variants, etc. Innovating and flexibly adapting a product line is thus highly challenging. We present a holistic approach for systematically evaluating and adapting an innovation system for SPLE organizations based on the organization’s business characteristics and discuss how the process dimension is embedded into this approach and related to the concept of process assessment and improvement.
