Organization and Transitioning– How can we introduce PLE incrementally?– Must re-organization be “painful”?– How can we motivate people?– Can everybody do “it”?– How can we keep PLE alive and “kicking”?– Can we convince or do we have to talk them into it?– Who rules: the product line or the customer?– Do we set it up top-down or bottom-up?
