Interdisciplinary system lifecycle management – a systematic literature review

Abstract

The increasing proportion of software in technical products means that both the products and the associated development processes are becoming more complex. An integration of the existing lifecycle considerations Application Lifecycle Management and Product Lifecycle Management into an interdisciplinary System Lifecycle Management promises to make the complexity manageable. To obtain an overview of the current benefits, challenges, requirements, approaches and open research gaps in the context of an ALM-PLM integration, this contribution presents the results of a Systematic Literature Review.
