Provided is a method for creating business solutions components in a manner that enables the components to be reusable among multiple business solutions. Two potential types of components include "off-the-shelf" software or hardware products and custom products developed for other projects and stored in a component library. Each component is assigned to one or more categories based upon attributes such as the business problems that the particular component addresses. Categories are also based upon criteria such as particular industries associated with a component, integration points between components, solution areas and the experiences of typical users. Categories enable interdependencies among components to be defined so that, for example, a component that includes executable logic can be associated with a component that includes a corresponding user manual. Also provided are means for managing practice manifests describing the categories assigned to business assets associated with each category.
