Multiple Team Needs

- Planning for reuse -- "chicken and egg" problem: projects must re-use specifications and designs, or they cannot hope to re-use code. Conversely, code must be specified and designed for re-use, or it will not be re used.

- Corporate base: basic frameworks and toolkits that are assumed by developers to exist, and to have quality similar to the vendor supplied system code:

• must be re integratable, so that developers have a palette of options from which to choose, and

• must be quality, or developers will quickly abandon them.

• "Chicken and egg" revisited: most infrastructures "grow" into quality through diverse usage and subsequent changes/fixes, yet inferior infrastructures never get the use needed to improve.
