Systems and software product line solutions
The key to business success depends upon the infusion of new ideas to bring products to market. To achieve this goal, today's software-based product development organizations must deliver a product line -- a portfolio of similar products with variations in features and functions -- rather than individual products.
A new approach referred to as software product lines (SPL), or more precisely systems and software product line engineering and delivery, has emerged to enable organizations to develop, deliver, and evolve an entire product line portfolio with much higher degrees of efficiency and profitability than ever before.
IBM and BigLever Software™ have joined forces to provide an innovative and pragmatic SPL solution comprised of the BigLever Gears SPL Lifecycle Framework™ and integrations of IBM Rational® software with the framework. The IBM BigLever SPL solution supports seamless product line engineering across the full systems and software development lifecycle.
Current methodology and technology integrations into the BigLever SPL Framework include IBM Rational DOORS®, IBM Rational Rhapsody®, IBM Rational Synergy™, IBM Rational ClearCase®, IBM Rational Publishing Engine™, IBM Rational Focal Point™, and IBM Rational Jazz®-based IBM Rational Team Concert™ and IBM Rational Quality Manager.
