Summary Joachim Pfeffer Kugler Maag Cie embedded World 013 KUGLER MAAG CIE GmbH Seite 1 Scenario An automotive supplier launches a process improvement project. This undertaking is based on a development project with the objectives: to gain more flexibility within the development process to ease handling of late requirements to improve efficiency (throughput) of the development process This calls for an agile approach, but process improvement must take account of existing constraints like: Automotive SPICE (ISO ) Existing interfaces to the customer (OEM) Internal customers and stakeholders Seite 1

2 Quick check for the improvement project Identify interfaces of the development project, identify existing processes, identify constraints to decide if a revolutionary approach (e.g. SCRUM) or an evolutionary approach (e.g. Kanban) is to be chosen. Seite 3 Kanban vs. SCRUM Kanban is based on existing processes preserves the division of labor is based on existing roles and responsibilities SCRUM provides a new process requires cross-functional team redefines responsibility is focused on transparency and throughput can be titled as an evolutionary approach is focused on transparency and quality can be titled as a revolutionary approach Seite 4

3 Preparing the automotive development process Identify increments Identify time boxes Sprints, Synchronisation Points Seite 5 In this case: Enriching the process with agile practices Decide to switch to pull control and train management and development team Set up a Kanban board Define a Requirement Breakdown structure Commit to a Definition of Done Introduce daily standup meetings Introduce agile backlogs and corresponding metrics Establish monitoring based on the new metrics Seite 6 3

4 Agile key levers for enhancing throughput Limitation of Work in Process (WIP) Pull control Frequent delivery Frequent feedback Team empowerment Transparency Customer involvement Seite 7 Kanban board Process steps, mapped to SPICE process areas Backlog SW requirement analysis SW design Coding 4 SW I-test SW test DONE Feature 8 Feature 5 Feature 3 Feature 1 Feature 10 Feature 7 Feature 6 Feature 4 Feature Feature 11 Feature 9 Feature 1 Feature 13 Task flow Seite 8 4

5 Agile development in a SPICE context Common work products may no longer exist. New work products are introduced and have to be evaluated from the SPICE assessor s point of view. Supporting processes like project management, change management, problem resolution, quality management and assurance, configuration management have to be maintained independent of the agile process.
