Abstract :
Improved software processes lead to improved product quality. The Personal Software Process (PSP) is a framework of techniques to help engineers improve their performance-and that of their organizations-through a step-by-step, disciplined approach to measuring and analyzing their work. This article explains how the PSP is taught and how it applies to different software engineering tasks. The author reports some promising early results
