Can the framework provide guidance for a move to SOA?
Organizations moving to an SOA approach can benefit from software product line information captured in other practice areas as well. The practice areas related to organizational management could help organizations understand important issues in adopting a new reuse-based technology. And those related to technical management and software engineering could help organizations analyze legacy systems, determine make/buy/mine/commission decisions, use existing available software, and understand risk. Documents similar to the product line adoption plan (describing the desired state of the organization and a strategy for achieving that state) and the product line production plan (which prescribes how the products are produced from the reusable components) provide excellent templates for organizations moving to planned, reuse-oriented environments.Planned and systematic reuse, exploiting economies of scope, and other important software product line issues could feed into the SOA design philosop
