EuroSPI² Initiative

EuroSPI² is a partnership of large Scandinavian research companies and experience networks (SINTEF, DELTA, STTF, FiSMA), iSQI as large German quality association, the American Society for Quality (ASQ), and ISCN as the co-ordintaor. EuroSPI² collaborates with a large number of SPINs (Software Process Improvement Network) in Europe.

EuroSPI² is an initiative with 5 major goals:

    • An annual EuroSPI² conference supported by Software Process Improvement Networks from different European countries.
    • EuroSPI² established web-based experience library based on hundreds of experience reports has been contributed to EuroSPI² since 1994 and which has been continuously extended over the years and is made available to conference attendees.
    • EuroSPI² established a European Qualification Framework for a pool of professions related to SPI and management. This is supported by an Europe-wide certification for qualifications in the SPI area, exam systems and online training platforms (European Certification and Qualification Association).
  • EuroSPI² established a newsletter with articles from key industry and European key research associations helping to implement the SPI manifesto world-wide.

A typical characterization of EuroSPI² was stated by a company using the following words:

”... the biggest value of EuroSPI² lies in its function as a European
knowledge and experience exchange mechanism for SPI and innovation”.
