This book describes and documents the PSP (Personal Software Process) for individual software developers, and introduces them to the TSP (Team Software Process) for teams. With examples and data drawn from real-world development projects, it shows how developers can better manage and dramatically improve their personal software process. In doing so, organizations become better able to deliver defect-free software on time and under budget. In short, this book is the industrial version of the author's Incredibly influential "A Discipline for Software Engineering." It build upon and modernizes that text (as well as Humphrey's previous PSP and TSP books) to present a contemporary and completely updated approach toward the highly important topic of software process improvement.
