Towards Product Lines in Startup Contexts},

abstract = {A majority of technology startups fail; inadequate
software engineering practices are known to be a
contributing factor. The smooth transitioning towards
software product lines in particular is a major
stumbling block for startups that must broaden their
product portfolio to deal with divergent demands
imposed by the market. We conducted a preliminary
study within two software engineering startups, which
revealed the motivating factors and benefits that
would lead to the migration from a single product
into a product line. Despite the benefits, tackling
the challenges foreseen and the identification of
features and their relations in the current product
is the crucial first step towards implementing an
appropriate highly-configurable product portfolio.},
