Abstract
This article proposes a systematic framework for data collection
when executing Product Configuration System (PCS) projects. Since the data
collection in PCS is one of the most time consuming tasks, a systematic framework
to handle and manage the large amount of complex data in the early stages
of the PCS project is needed. The framework was developed based on the
current literature in the field and revised during testing at a case company. The
framework has proven to provide a structural approach for data collection,
which saved the company both time and money in the initial phases of the PCS
project. The framework consists of five steps, which are; establishing a goal and
the methods for stakeholder analysis, categorize and group the data collection,
prioritizing of products and functionalities, collection and validation of the data
by domain experts and finally analysis, documentation and maintenance in the
future.
