Resumo

The growing interest of software reuse by software organizations makes adoption and evaluation of reuse an essential activity. Many organizations struggle in their attempts to select appropriate reuse practices (methods, techniques and tools support) in their processes. In this way, we propose a lightweight technology change management approach to facilitate the adoption of software reuse practices, according to the organization’s software reuse capability.
