A–Z
The core terms.
A
Archetype (System Archetype)
The root system type of a product line — it defines how the line behaves and which strategic moves are actually possible. Know yours before you move.C
Constructor / ConstructorOne™
The discipline — and the software — that holds a product line’s congruency and assemblage as one motion, driven by an Accelerating Learning Loop.G
Governance vs Decision-making
Governance is how a line decides and improves how it decides; decision-making is the act of choosing. Don’t confuse the two.M
MGPP (Multi-Generational Product Plan)
A plan for a line’s moves across product generations. Good MGPP thinking turns “no” into “not yet.”O
Outcome Velocity
The rate at which a product line produces valued outcomes — a measure of the whole system’s progress, well beyond one product’s time-to-market.P
Platform-levers
Shared elements — technologies, architectures, capabilities — that create leverage across the products in a line.Product Line
A group of related products delivering multiple attribute sets across market segments. Plural by nature — not a single product.Product Line Flow
The movement of work and value through a line. Flow, not effort, determines what a product line ships.Product Line Management
Overseeing a product line as a system — its archetype, forces, and flow — rather than stacking product managers one product at a time.Product Line System
A product line seen as a complex, adaptive system of forces, constraints, agents, and components — managed as a whole.Product Line Stack Roadmap
Roadmapping the whole stack — segments, platform-levers, products, technologies — as one coherent, multi-generational plan.R
Responsive Roadmapping
Roadmapping that responds to the system rather than archiving intentions — a living plan, not a shelved document.S
Strategy Indivisibility
The natural level — like a prime number — at which a strategy can’t be divided or aggregated without becoming forced and ineffective.T
Tilting Effect
A systems dilemma: shifting resources to the back-end starves the front-end, which creates the very back-end problems the shift was meant to solve.V
Verb-based Segmentation
Segmenting by the job customers are trying to get done, complementing noun-based segmentation to craft strategy and roadmaps for a whole line.This is the core set; the full lexicon carries more. CONFIRM: import remaining terms + individual term-page links
