Abstract
Achieving ASPICE Level 3 is a recurring challenge for many organizations—not because processes are undefined, but because they are difficult to execute consistently, evidence is fragmented, and cybersecurity is often addressed too late. This workshop provides a practical, tool‑agnostic framework for accelerating ASPICE Level 3 readiness by focusing on execution, governance, and organizational readiness rather than tools or vendors.
The session explores common failure modes observed during assessments, including inconsistent process application, gaps in objective evidence, and unmanaged configuration drift. Participants will learn how to evaluate whether their current ALM setup—often based on legacy or loosely integrated tools—can realistically support Level 3 maturity, or whether a transformation is required.
Co‑led with Tim Brennan, a former industry practitioner and now consultant, the workshop is enriched with real‑world examples from both rollout and post‑assessment perspectives. Attendees will leave with actionable guidance to improve or transition their ALM foundation while maintaining compliance continuity.
Value
This workshop provides industry professionals with practical, experience‑based guidance for achieving ASPICE Level 3 beyond documented processes. Attendees will learn how to identify common assessment failure modes—such as inconsistent execution, weak evidence, and late cybersecurity integration—and how to address them systematically. The session offers a tool‑agnostic framework to evaluate ALM and process readiness, decide whether improvement or transformation is required, and manage change without breaking compliance. Real‑world insights from implementation and consulting experience help participants avoid common pitfalls and accelerate sustainable ASPICE maturity.
