Automotive SPICE in WORKSPACE.PM
Automotive SPICE (ASPICE) is the established standard for evaluating and improving development processes in the automotive industry. With WORKSPACE.PM you implement ASPICE process models methodically correctly – from requirements analysis through system and software development to verification, validation and quality management.
In WORKSPACE.PM
Fully integrated and ready to use
Implementation in WORKSPACE.PM
Overview of method elements and their implementation
System & Software Development (SYS, SWE)
Container Structure: Mapping of development phases (requirements analysis, design, implementation, test) as separate containers.
Project Management (MAN.3)
Project Profile & Project Pipeline: Planning, control and status tracking of projects. Status transitions and milestones clearly defined.
Risk Management (MAN.5)
Risk and Opportunity Management: Capture, assessment and control of project risks with action planning.
Configuration Management (SUP.8)
DMS & Versioning: Audit-proof storage of all development artifacts with versioning and approval processes.
Verification & Validation (SWE.4, SWE.5)
Gantt Chart & Kanban Boards: Control of verification and validation activities as well as task management in the team.
Traceability (SUP.10)
Linking of containers, requirements and DMS documents: Ensuring complete traceability of requirements through design, implementation to tests.

ASPICE Processes Structurally Implemented
Process Structuring According to V-Model
Development processes can be clearly structured in WORKSPACE.PM – from system requirements analysis (SYS.2) to validation (SYS.5). Through the Gantt chart you plan project phases, milestones and dependencies precisely and traceably.
Risk Management According to MAN.5
With integrated risk and opportunity management, project risks can be identified early, assessed and controlled through concrete measures. Linking risks with requirements and development artifacts ensures that potential impacts are systematically considered.
Document Management & Configuration Management
The DMS offers audit-proof storage of all ASPICE-relevant documents, such as requirements documents, architecture drafts, test specifications and test reports. Versioning and approval functions ensure that only approved artifacts are reused in the development process.
Complete Traceability
WORKSPACE.PM supports complete traceability from requirements analysis to validation. Requirements in the project profile can be directly linked with development containers, design documents and test results.
Assessment Preparation
Through the global timeline, all approvals, reviews and decisions are traceable at any time – ideal for ASPICE assessments. Traceability matrices can be documented directly in the DMS or existing Excel/PDF documents can be linked.
Capability Levels and Assessment
Incomplete
Process not or only incompletely implemented
Performed
Process achieves its purpose
Managed
Process is planned, monitored and adjusted
Established
Process is defined and consistently applied
Conclusion
With WORKSPACE.PM you create the ideal basis to efficiently and traceably meet the demanding requirements of Automotive SPICE. You secure the quality of your development projects and simultaneously lay the foundation for successful customer audits and assessments – practical, auditable and scalable.
