Data Management SPICE^®

Learn how to apply the Automotive SPICE^® model to projects, products, services and organizations dealing with data.

This training introduces Data Management SPICE, the data management model extension for Automotive SPICE^®. The training will expand Automotive SPICE^® assessors’ knowledge base so they can apply it to projects, products, services and organizations dealing with data. The training is designed for intacs^®-certified assessors of all levels with experience in data management.

The training is a prerequisite to the Competent- and Principal-level requirement to lead an assessment using Data Management SPICE.

The Data Management SPICE model can help organizations:

• Reduce risks related to bad data, especially in connected vehicles, over-the-air (OTA) updates and connectivity services
• Track data quality objectives throughout the data life cycle
• Create an overall data management strategy
• Identify the right architecture and platforms for data
• Consistently monitor data quality in operations

The data management processes and their practices help assessors:

• Harmonize interpretations of existing SPICE processes related to data management
• Use a common terminology for assessing data management practices
• Align ratings among assessors and ensure consistency of ratings

Participants gain first-hand knowledge from experts who were directly involved in setting up the Mechanical Development plug-in for Automotive SPICE^®. A working group of the intacs^® assessor cooperative developed the plug-in.

Contents
