Working Group "AGILE SPICE™"
PURPOSE
Creation of a process model “Agile SPICE™” to reflect agile concepts, methods and practices, but only with either changed or added processes and process groups
MOTIVATION
- Growing complexity and faster changes during development drive increased use of agile approaches.
- OEMs ensure the overall quality and safety/security of those products, leading to increased pressure to show Automotive SPICE® capabilities.

- However, both agile organizations and those in an agile transition struggle in implementing and interpreting Automotive SPICE®.
- There is a need to reduce misunderstandings and help to interpret the terminology for both sides.
- This bridge shall …
- reduce the variation in interpretation of Automotive SPICE® assessors,
- increase the acceptance of Automotive SPICE® in the agile community.
DELIVERABLES
