Software is an integral part of a growing number of products. Even when the cost of the software per se does not dominate production costs (and it often does) the quality of many products often depends directly on the quality of its software parts. Software has now become a matter of national as well as of corporate strategy.

After developing the Capability Maturity Model (CMM) which has produced return on investment of 5 to 9 in industry world-wide, the Software Engineering Institute (SEI) has introduced the Personal Software Process (PSP). This next wave of software improvement which consists in improving the discipline of the individual engineers’ practices is producing impressive results in industry:

improvement in planning accuracy by a factor 2-3

reduction of test defects by a factor 3-10

improvement in morale

keen understanding of SPI and drastic acceleration of progress on the CMM scale

increased productivity

This seminar shows you what to expect from the PSP, how to manage with PSP data, and how to successfully incorporate the PSP in your organization.

Benefits

This one day, high level, intensive seminar is designed for senior managers who are involved (directly or indirectly) with software. Ideally, the senior-level management team should attend as a group.

Seminar topics

The topics covered in the seminar include the following:

The software business and PSP

PSP planning

PSP quality

Managing with PSP data

PSP and the organization

The Team Software Process (TSP)

Each module includes exercises to reinforce the concepts. Results in industry, pitfalls, costs, benefits and return on investment are systematically discussed in the context of the organization.
