• Identify duplicates in features and functionalities, thereby preventing redundant development efforts and fostering a more unified approach to software development across the organization.

Communication and Coordination: 

• Communicate findings to the relevant stakeholders regarding the identified common features and potential areas of duplication
• Coordinate with different divisions to inform them of the opportunities for module reuse and the areas where efforts may be duplicated. 
• Ensure that the software development process is as efficient and cohesive as possible, leveraging shared resources and knowledge.

Strategic Module Planning:
