Related products frequently share much of the same software, with only a few differences
realizing product-specific functionality. The product line approach separates parts of products
into commonalities and differences. Commonalities being those components that are contained
in every product variant. Efficient use of this approach is a challenge but in its implementation
– variant management – there is high potential to significantly increase the efficient
use and reuse of resources. With variant management, knowledge about the functionality of
the different product features, requirements and dependencies will be managed much more
efficiently, kept more accessible and can consequently be utilized more successfully.
