Feature‐based product line engineering (PLE) designs a portfolio of products using variation management to maximize value of commonality and manage differences. This article identifies essential product line vocabulary including product line engineering, shared assets, feature catalogue, bill‐of‐features, PLE factory configurator, and product asset instances. This terminology overview supports effective collaboration with other INCOSE working groups and summarizes the INCOSE PLE Primer.
