Holistic Agile Approach in Product Development

Today, automotive companies are following the autonomous trend. Automobiles have many more functions and features than they used to, from heated seats to infotainment, to Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS). For example, the Grand Cherokee Summit includes over 50 embedded software controllers, containing 20 million lines of code. And Tesla has just announced an ‘Automatic Emergency Braking’ feature which meets all new NHTSA (U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) requirements.

The automotive industry is subjected to regulations and standards to ensure vehicle safety, performance, and quality, otherwise our roads would turn into chaos.

Product complexity has exploded in the automotive industry. A popular standard, ‘Automotive SPICE’ is a means to manage some of this complexity by continuously improving the development process.

Traditional predictive project management techniques are unsuited to such rapid change in customer expectations and government requirements and regulations. The PMBOK has expanded its scope to include adaptive techniques like Agile.

Over the hour, Subathra will discuss the advantages of an Adaptive Project Management approach using Automotive SPICE.
