A Software Product Line is commonly used for the Software Development in Large Automotive Organizations. Software development organizations frequently face changes that require them to be flexible. The principles and practices of Agile software are often associated with improving software organizations’ flexibility. However, Introducing agile practices have its benefits and limitations. To amplify benefits and all evirate challenges, Agile adoption guidelines are being proposed to provide strategies for introducing Agile practices. One instance of such guidelines is known as Agile Maturity Models (AMMs). A strategic reuse of software is needed to handle the increasing complexity of the development and to maintain the quality of numerous software variants. However, the development process needs to be continuously adapted at a fast pace to satisfy the changing market demands. Introducing agile software development methods promise the flexibility to react on customers' change requests and market demands to deliver high quality software. Despite this need, it is still challenging to combine agile software development and product lines. The maturity of an agile adoption is often hard to determine. Assessing the current situation regarding the combination is a first step towards a successful inclusion of agile methods into automotive software product lines. Based on an interview study with 16 participants and a literature review, build the so-called ASPLA Model allowing self-assessments within the team to determine the current state of agile software development in combination with software product lines. The model comprises seven areas of improvements and recommends a possibility to improve the current status. The combination of agile software development and software product lines in the automotive domain is seen as a promising approach. With this approach, a shorter time to market and a faster learning loop about the maturity of the software could be achieved. The current status of the agile adoption within software product line is hard to define. In this paper, to examine the aspects that needs to be considered for an adjusted assessment model that assess an organization’s current situation regarding agile software development and software product lines. Several assessment models for CMMI and ASPICE, XP, ISO 26550 models are used.
