Abstract
This document describes the Concept of Operations (ConOps) and transition strategy for the product line approach to software systems development at the Air Force Electronic Systems Center (ESC), Hanscom Air Force Base, Massachusetts. This document defines the organizations implementing the product line approach and the processes used by the organizations. It describes the roles and responsibilities, and the relationships among the organizations. The processes needed to implement software system development using the product line approach are described at a high level and will be further detailed and refined as the product line approach is implemented at ESC.
