The international process community has recognized the need to bring together multiple standards and models into a single integrated standards-based model that addresses broad enterprise processes, and has launched the Enterprise SPICE initiative to meet this need. Enterprise SPICE will be used with the international standard ISO/IEC 15504 (SPICE) and will provide an efficient and effective mechanism for assessing and improving processes deployed across an enterprise.
This paper provides an overview and status of the Enterprise SPICE (ISO/IEC 15504) initiative.
