Working groups
With its working groups, the ASQF e. V. supports the development of modern, practice-oriented and future-proof qualification schemes. The experts in the working groups work continuously on the further development of curricula, training documents and examination questions in order to meet the requirements of the industry and the needs of skilled workers.
Our working groups offer solutions for key topics such as project management, the Internet of Things and secure software engineering. The focus is always on quality, agility and security.
From innovative approaches in project management to quality assurance in IoT and cyber security in software development – the results of our working groups set standards and contribute to the sustainable further development of knowledge and skills.
Certified Professional for Project Management working group
Independent, future-proof and agile content
With the Certified Professional for Project Management, the ASQF provides a modern and future-proof scheme that is aimed at all members of a project team. The authors of the ASQF’s CPPM working group ensure that the content is continuously updated to ensure that training meets the requirements of employees and the needs of the industry in the future.
Goals
The main tasks of the "ASQF-CPPM-AG" working group are to
Maintaining and further developing the curriculum, examination questions and training documents and keeping them high quality and up to date.
As part of a development project, the “ASQF CPPM” working group was tasked with adapting the existing Certified Professional for Project Management – Basic Course syllabus to the changed framework conditions in practice. The result was published in 2016 and has met with great interest as a qualification scheme.
The result of the ASQF CPPM working group can be found in the CPPM syllabus.

Certified Professional for IoT working group
Goals
The Internet of Things (IoT) poses major challenges for society and industry. For example, it is still unclear how the diverse interfaces in the IoT can be connected to existing IT systems, how they can be used and, last but not least, how they can be tested and further developed. The social framework conditions such as questions of security, data protection and even ethics will also shape the topic of IoT. A panel of experts from leading companies in Germany, including T-Systems Multimedia Solutions GmbH, DB Systel GmbH, SAP Germany and Atos Germany, as well as renowned service providers such as Sulzer GmbH, imbus AG, tecmata GmbH, sepp.med GmbH and the Fraunhofer Institute FOKUS, has been formed to offer the industry help in the form of methods, guidelines for quality assurance and safeguarding IoT solutions through a qualification scheme and a glossary as a de facto standard.

Secure Software Engineering working group
Goals
The digital transformation is progressing steadily and is delivering autonomous vehicles, networked industry and medical technology, for example. Concerns about a networked and predominantly digitalized future are justified and understandable. Convenient, fast access and services are convenient and user-friendly, but the security aspect still needs to be taken into account. Organizations, development teams, production processes and all other key stakeholders want to make the right security-related decisions.
In three training days, the “Secure Software Engineering” (SSE) course shows how to achieve constructive and analytical software engineering while observing standards and processes. The curriculum developed by the experts includes the implementation of cyber security measures in application development and for embedded development with a focus on “Secure Software Engineering”. In addition to best practices, the course provides methods and activities throughout the software lifecycle beyond decommissioning.
With the acquired ASQF Secure Software Engineer certificate, developers, executives, management and thus the organization as a whole will bring the competence to their team to consider essential aspects of cyber security.
The course focuses on security-relevant spotlights. The team of authors is convinced that the course covers both the “WHAT” and the “HOW” of the methods and examples mentioned in great detail and provides added value for participants in their operational work. The ASQF Secure Software Engineer (SSE) provides a solid and practically applicable basic knowledge in the field of “Secure Software Engineering”.
