چکیده

This report documents the results of a study that is important to everyone who manages or develops software. The study examines the impact of the Personal Software Process SM (PSP SM ) on the performance of 298 software engineers . 1 The report describes the effect of PSP on key performance dimensions of these engineers, including their ability to estimate and plan their work, the quality of the software they produced, the quality of their work process, and their productivity. The report also discusses how improvements in personal capability also improve organizational performance in several areas: cost and schedule management, delivered product quality, and product cycle time.

of other influencing variables. Although it would be good news to have similar advantages when using the PSP in real-life environments , with larger projects, larger teams, and normal schedule pressure, there is not enough evidence yet. (See the sidebar " Related Work " for more details.) In the following case study, I introduced the PSP in a company and that effort raised the issues of trainin...

An Experiment Measuring the Eeects of Personal Software Process (psp) Training

The Personal Software Process is a process improvement methodology aiming at individual software engineers. It claims to improve software quality (in particular defect content), effort estimation capability, and process adaptation and improvement capabilities. We have tested some of these claims in an experiment comparing the performance of participants who had just previously received a PSP co...
