The studies presented this year are valid for a PI manifesto in general and not only specific to Software. Therefore we expand the manifesto for further branches and content, starting from 2021 onwards.
Eleven years since the inception of the SPI Manifesto and ten years since its publication many socio-technical developments have come about. Cloud, Containers and Microservices, Open Source Software production and mobile devices are now all far more prevalent. The Automotive Industry, and other large and complex systems like e-Government, e-Health, Travel and so on, moved to using Big Data and Artificial Intelligence. In addition to socio-economic challenges, these developments present legal, ethical, political, environmental and demographic challenges. As the late Rory O Connor emphasised: because organisations operate as parts of a larger ecosystem and society all these socio-technical and other factors prompt for analysis with the aim of constantly re-aligning the organisational strategy to shifting business environments to survey, stay competitive, add business value and achieve sustainability! The SPI Manifesto has always supported industry in their effort to understand, adapt and improve their processes. In this workshop, held jointly by academics and practitioners, we will debate and analyse the challenges and opportunities for quality improvements, based on the premise that an improved process results in quality improvement of the resulting products and services. Using a multidimensional approach and the STEEPLED (Sociocultural, Technical, Economic, Environmental, Political, Legal, Ethical and Demographic) analysis tool, we will share ideas and experiences which will be encapsulated the findings in concrete proposals for the adaptation, evolution and extension of the SPI Manifesto.
Please participate in the SPI manifesto survey about how social factors influence the success (values and principles). This will be used as input to the SPI workshop.
Also an initiative has been started to build an SPI case study and knolwedge library for EuroSPI. On the one hand a SPI database of case studies will be set up (shared work of Egypt SPI Consortiu, Japanses SPI consortium and planning to involve Poznan Supercomputing centre). And secondly ISCN is setting up a NID server (Networked Interactive Digital Material) supported by Prof. Hermann Maurer, IICM, TU Graz, to store knowledge and link knowledge from important SPI materials / books. Every EuroSPI conference will deliver y a compendoum of presentations like a book and link all relevent studies and data in the cloud from there, as a starting point.
And we also support the strategy assessment tool based on ISO TR 33014 for improvability analysis of orgaisattions, originally developed by the Danish partner Whitebox.

Additional Information
Key Contributors
Key contributions to the Workshop will come from European initiatives which developed best practices for SPI. However, the workshop is open to include experts who are willing to share their best practices with the community. We invite experts from knowledge areas like
• Good practices / experiences with the implementation of improvement programs
• Bad practices / experiences (what not to do) with the implementation of improvement programs
• Standards / programs supporting improvement coaching concepts
• Areas where improvement is most difficult to manage and how to solve this
• Key success factors
• Metrics to be used for tracking improvement programs
to share, discuss, and publish their experiences with EuroAsiaSPI.
Still the good/bad practices library needs to grow and we must constantly learn and also update the concept of programs like SPI manager.
Interactive Workshop Approach
From 2018 onwards all submitted papers in the book with reference the SPI manifesto or suggest extensions to the existing SPI manifesto. These new inputs will be considered in this workshop.
