In today’s competitive software markets it is of utmost interest to have winning products. The success of any software product in a market depends on skill-full and competent product management. Software product management includes product requirements, release definition, product release lifecycles, creating an effective multifunctional product introduction team and – above all – assuring a winning business case. This workshop aims at increasing the body of knowledge for this specific area of requirements engineering by providing a forum to exchange ideas and publish results. It will build and shape the community of leading practitioners and research experts.

In the workshop the following papers will be presented:

  • On the Creation of a Reference Framework for Software Product Management: Validation and Tool Support
  • Can Agility be Introduced into Requirements Engineering for COTS Component Based Development?
  • Challenges of Knowledge and Collaboration in Roadmapping
  • Lightweight Replanning of Software Product Releases
  • A Cost-Based Approach to Software Product Line Management
  • Towards Context-Aware Product-Family Architectures
  • Ten Misconceptions about Product Software Release Management explained using Update Cost/Value Functions
