  Product line diversity – such as requirements options, alternatives and refinements – can be converted to Gears variation points and managed from a single, consolidated set of requirements assets.

• Product line requirements can be automatically configured based on Gears feature profiles, in synchrony with other assets across all stages in the lifecycle.
  

Dimensions CM/Gears Connector for the Universal Configuration Management Bridge™: Provides seamless integration of time-based configuration management (CM) and feature-based variation management for product assets in the Gears PLE Lifecycle Framework, enabling the automated execution of associated CM operations as the product line portfolio evolves.

BigLever and Serena also offer methodology integration approaches for leveraging the combined capabilities of the Gears Framework and the Serena Business Manager (SBM) process orchestration platform. This methodology integration allows companies to achieve new levels of efficiency and workforce productivity by dramatically improving communication, coordination and cohesiveness between teams, both business and technical, across the development lifecycle.
