AUSTIN, Texas – July 13, 2021 – BigLever Software, the long-standing leader in the Product Line Engineering (PLE) field, announced today that the company will provide insight into the latest PLE advances and emerging trends during the International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE) Symposium, held virtually, July 17-22, 2021. Dr. Charles Krueger, CEO of BigLever, will give a presentation on the key practices for the successful adoption and execution of Feature-based PLE, based on the newly released ISO 26580 international PLE standard. In addition, BigLever will present a Showcase session on insights from Momentum 2021, a symposium hosted by the company on PLE in the digital age. BigLever’s PLE experts also will hold discussions with event participants in the virtual showcase.

“The new ISO standard is a culmination of decades of research-based best practices for Feature-based PLE, which has wholly transformed the approach to engineering complex product portfolios by enabling organizations to optimize their resources for productivity, efficiency and precision,” said Krueger. “As more and more organizations adopt PLE for the significant business value it delivers, they can turn to the ISO standard for guidance. It gives them a clear and authoritative set of industry guidelines that provide a clear path for adoption, enabling them to enjoy enormous benefits, while minimizing organizational risk.”
