Abstract
A successful reuse lifecycle integrates essential reuse processes with a design for implementing those processes. The first requirement is to understand the essential processes for creating, using, maintaining and managing reusable assets. The second is to design an effective way of carrying out those processes. If there were no differences between organisations then the same implementation of the reuse lifecycle would suit everyone. However in reality, reuse lifecycles vary tremendously because of differences in many ethnographic factors like: size, skills, goals, geographical location, customs. This paper makes a practical distinction between the concepts behind reuse and the implementation of those concepts in a given organisation.
