Many approaches to software product line engineering have been founded on the development of a single product line platform. However as customer requirements change and new products are added to the product line, software producers recognize that the platform cannot be "stretched" indefinitely and a significant problem is striking a balance between development efficiency by increasing platform commonality and customer dissatisfaction from products with additional undesirable features and properties. One alternative is to develop multiple product lines (MPLs). However the challenge remains about what to include in a multiple product line platform. Drawing upon industrial experience of working with 4 companies, this paper explores the characteristics of the contexts in which MPLs are a viable alternative development strategy and then proposes a framework of approaches to platform development.
