Customization and Productization Management Principles Framework Readme
Practical entries
Bring the question you are actually trying to answer. These entries are selected examples, not a catalogue or a coverage boundary. If none fits, search the Table of Contents or enter a pattern directly. You can ask an assisting agent: “Explain this and give me your comments in ordinary language, without framework jargon.”
CUST-ENTRY-DELIVERY - Turn a successful delivery into an obtainable method
- Situation: A service works when its author is present, but another prepared team cannot yet repeat it.
- Question: Which work, preparation and help must become available for the next delivery?
- First useful result or blocker: A constructed delivery method with an attainable receiving performance, or the exact missing capability, permission or support.
- Start with: CUST.6.
- Stop or return: Retain explicit assisted provision when it fits; return a false family assumption to CUST.3 rather than adding unexplained instructions.
CUST-ENTRY-CHANGE - Improve the common offering while current customers continue
- Situation: A shared change affects installed configurations, accepted meanings or support promises.
- Question: How can the affected customers obtain a valid continuation?
- First useful result or blocker: A compatible extension, transition, coexistence or retained arrangement with its work and authority, or the unresolved receiving result.
- Start with: CUST.8.
- Stop or return: Do not widen the change beyond its supported conditions. Preserve unaffected service and obtain the missing contribution.
CUST-ENTRY-GROWTH - Grow without hiding repeated invention
- Situation: Several customers want related adaptations, and common development appears attractive.
- Question: What can we share, how will it be delivered and what burden follows?
- First useful result or blocker: A supportable answer connecting what can be shared, an obtainable delivery method and the full resource comparison, or the condition preventing it. A successful local case can remain local.
- Start with: CUST.1, connecting the family in CUST.3, delivery in CUST.6 and resource comparison in CUST.7.
- Stop or return: Use an adequate existing configuration directly. Narrow or stop the affected promise when capability, permission, resources or current obligations defeat it.
Use the whole Method or a sufficient part
Start with the supported offering and the actual customer result. Recover their consequential differences, then construct a compatible local and shared continuation. Productization can produce a repeatable service or reusable contribution; it does not require every local adaptation to become a common product.
The intended reader manages a product, service, customer delivery, implementation practice or another undertaking with continuing customer commitments. Use the large CUST.1 Method when the customer case and future offering must be developed together. Use a smaller Method when the current problem is already bounded. A supported configuration needs no new productization programme.
Read the Architectural Reference for the field, connections and limits. Using FPF and its DPF Suites explains how to obtain supplying frameworks. Reading a Method supplies neither its required professional capabilities nor permission to perform restricted work.
