The benefits of a feature model in banking
Claudia Fritsch, Richard Abt, Burkhardt Renz · 2020
This experience report describes the surprisingly beneficial introduction of feature modeling at KfW, a government promotional bank. On behalf of the government and based on promotional directives, KfW grants retail loans to small and medium enterprises, business founders, self-employed professionals, municipalities and private individuals. The promotional directives, called programs, define mandatory and optional properties of these loans. We have now successfully built a feature model from these properties.
