Find the Quick Wins
Once you gain acceptance for a software product line approach in your organization, it is essential that the initial few steps of the deployment quickly demonstrate the benefits. According The Heart of Change (see the Books page), this will energize your change agents, enlighten the pessimists, defuse the cynics, and build momentum for the effort.
One of the most effective ways to do this is with a pilot project. In this way you can address a small but complete part of the problem and solution.
Another way to get some quick wins is with an incremental and iterative deployment. For example, transition one small component or subsystem into a product line asset with variation points that can be incorporated into your existing products. Even if you choose to use a more top-down or waterfall approach, incorporate some initial incremental and iterative efforts to quickly demonstrate success.
For more information, Jan Bosch contributed a Perspectives articles on this site that goes into detail on his experiences with Staged Adoption of Software Product Families.
