Everyone sees the economic benefits of reuse. This section does not present yet another reuse cost model. Instead, it focuses on the organizational commitment that must be made toward these costs, and presents systems to help transfer these costs to the beneficiaries. Furthermore, the benefits of reuse are not limited to lines of code that did not need to be written. This section also shows where the greatest benefits of reuse can come from and how to maximize them.
Pilot projects are a valuable technique to demonstrate the value of reuse.
These projects can prototype the design process that is modified to make reuse happen. Choosing the right project is the key. Organize a business unit to make reuse happen . Even if reuse is economically beneficial to an organization, it will not just happen on its own. Processes and mechanisms must be purposefully put in place to promote reuse.
