Software Delivery InFocus: Software Product Lines

This is the fifth in our Software Delivery InFocus series of podcast episodes, starring Bola Rotibi - the Principal Analyst of MWD's Software Delivery competency area. In this episode, she explores the emerging topic of Software Product Lines with guests James Cezo of Lockheed Martin and Dale Churchett of HomeAway (a leading vacation rentals company).

The concept of Software Product Lines (SPL) is designed to help organisations identify and manage variation and commonality in software deliverry - so that it's possible to efficiently deliver multiple variations of a software product or service, each of which shares common elements.

Here, Bola talks to her guests about the concept of SPL; what each company is doing with SPL and how they're making SPL work for them; and what the main challenges that they've each experienced in implementing SPL.
