About this event
ISO 26262 gives teams a rigorous framework for building safer road vehicles, but the real challenge is knowing how to apply it sensibly in the context of your product, organization, and development process. This virtual meetup focuses on one of the most practical and often misunderstood parts of functional safety work: tailoring the safety lifecycle so it is both compliant and genuinely useful. About the Event This is an online community gathering for people who work with, around, or alongside automotive functional safety and want a clearer, more practical view of lifecycle tailoring under ISO 26262. Rather than treating the standard as a fixed checklist, the conversation will center on how teams adapt lifecycle activities to fit different project realities while still maintaining the inte
Who should attend
This is for people who want a more practical, defensible way to think about ISO 26262 lifecycle tailoring and who value learning through peer discussion, not just theory. - You work in **functional safety**, systems engineering, software, hardware, or integration and want to understand how lifecycle expectations are adapted in real projects. - You are responsible for **process definition, safety planning, or compliance activities** and need clearer ways to structure tailoring decisions without creating unnecessary overhead. - You lead or support **cross-functional teams** and want better alignment between engineering execution, documentation, and safety objectives. - You are involved in **assessments, reviews, or safety work products** and want stronger judgment around what good tailoring looks like in practice. - You are navigating **reuse, platform-based development, legacy processes, or changing project scope** and need to think carefully about how the lifecycle should be applied. - You simply want to **meet peers in the automotive safety community** who are dealing with similar questions and are open to practical, grounded conversation. If you have ever thought, “I understand the standard, but applying it cleanly in my environment is the hard part,” this event is very likely for you.
