HOW AGILE & ASPICE CAN CO-EXIST TO IMPROVE END RESULTS & PRODUCTS

Agile and ASPICE appear to be conflicting in the requirements and end goals, posing a challenge in the automotive industry to get them to co-exist.

• Discuss the benefits and limitations of Agile and ASPICE processes.
• Understand the requirements of the ASPICE software framework, and how it works alongside Agile frameworks.
• Explore how to selectively combine practices from Agile and ASPICE to better serve the product and process.
