Abstract :
Commmercial software product vendors such as Microsoft, IBM, and Oracle develop and manage a large portfolio of software products, which might include operating systems, middleware, firmware, and applications. Many institutions (such as banks, universities, and hospitals) also create and manage their own custom applications. Managers at these companies face an important problem: How can you manage investment, revenue, quality, and customer expectations across such a large portfolio? A heuristics-based product maturity framework can help companies effectively manage the development and maintenance of a portfolio of software products
