About the Presentation:
Feature-based Product Line Engineering (PLE) is a game-changing paradigm for addressing systems engineering complexity by dramatically simplifying the creation, delivery, maintenance, and evolution of a product line portfolio. It provides a holistic, unified view into the feature variations for a product family and eliminates the need for different variant management mechanisms across the organization. This webinar will explore the feature ontology behind Feature-based PLE that provides structure to the myriad distinguishing characteristics among products in a product line, enabling their efficient management and targeted usage by stakeholders throughout the enterprise. Case studies will be presented to spotlight how some of the world’s largest forward-thinking organizations are leveraging Feature-based PLE to engineer their competitive advantage through order-of-magnitude improvements in productivity, time-to-market, portfolio scalability, and product quality. The presentation will also provide insight into INCOSE’s ISO PLE standards initiative currently underway.
