Abstract
Software product lines have received considerable adoption in the software industry and prove to be a very successful approach to intra-organizational software reuse. Existing literature, however, often presents only a single approach towards adopting and evolving a software product line. In this paper, we present an overview of different approaches to the architecture-centric, intra-organizational reuse of software artefacts. We relate these to maturity levels for product line artefacts and organizational models.
