Main Goals
Spearheaded by ISO and IEC Due to rising necessity for: o a standardized software development process improvement scheme o allow multiple countries use the same methodology (instead of hoarding the good ones for themselves!)

For example, an organization competing for a contract may use SPICE to determine its current capability and the level required by the contractor1. The assessment of processes is not limited only to software development. ISO 15504 has expanded to cover processes in the following areas1: Organizational, Management, Engineering, Acquisition/Supply, Support, and Operations.

7. Relationships, Similarities or Differences ISO 15504 has with the rest of the standards
Relationships: ISO 15504 (SPICE) was developed from ISO 12207's process reference model, Bootstrap's maturity model and Trillium's industry practises.
ISO 9000
Similarities: Both are sets of standards that deal with software development. Differences: SPICE focuses on software development standards, while ISO 9000 focuses on quality management and customer satisfaction.
ISO 12207
Similarities: Both use the same software reference model. Differences: ISO 12207 is focused on the software lifecycle processes, while SPICE's reference model has two axis of process and capability.
Trillium
Similarities: Both have a focus on industry practises. Differences: Trillium focuses on assessment to minimize risk and ensure timely delivery.
Sigma Six
Similarities: Both deal with software development and business practises. Differences: SPICE began as a software development standard and was generalized to business, while Sigma Six began as a business practise standard and was generalized to software development and other
