3. SPICE =
Software Process
Improvement and
Capability dEtermination

4. Introduction
 a model that identifies a set of sof tware best
practices and shows how they fit together to
create an improvement path for the software
development process
 international standard for SW process assessments
 mainly used in Europe and Australia by the
automotive industry
 Automotive SPICE launched in April 2006 (May 2010, version 2.5)
 TESTSpice (December 2010, version 1.0)

5. Goal
 To provide assessment results that are
repeatable, objective, comparable
 (me) structure the way of working
 (me) identify the main weakness within the
development process and build improvement
activities
 (me) “link” between inputs & outputs

9. MAN.3 – Project Management
 The purpose of the Project management
process is to
 identif y
 establish
 plan
 co-ordinate, and
 monitor the activities, tasks, and
resources
necessary for a project to produce a product and/or
service, in the context of the project’s requirements
and constraints.

11. Define the work to be undertaken by the
project, and confirm that the goals of the
project are feasible with available
resources and constraints.

13. Define the life cycle for the project,
which is appropriate to the scope,
context, magnitude and complexity of
the project .
Rule #1

14. BP3. Determine and maintain
estimates for project attributes

15. Define and maintain baselines for project
attributes:
1)business and quality goals for the project,
2)resources for the project and
3)project effort, schedule and budget.

16. BP4. Define project activities

17. Plan project activities according to
defined project life cycle and
estimations, define and monitor
dependencies between activities.

19. Identify required skills needed for the
project and allocate them to individuals
and teams.
Rule #4

20. BP6. Define and maintain
project schedule
Rule #3

against the project plan.

29. BP11. Review and repor t
progress

30. Regularly report and review the status of
the project against the project plans to all
affected parties.
Regularly evaluate the performance of the
project.
Rule #5

31. BP12. Act to correct deviations

32. Take action when
project goals are not achieved,
correct deviations from plan and
prevent recurrence of problems identified in the
project.
Update project plans accordingly.
