SE450: PSP: SEI [7/28]

PSP is the Personal Software Process developed by Humphries at CMU's Software Engineering Institute: SEI.

Interest is in process. What makes a project successful? What make a project fail?

PSP concentrates on the individual programmer. The Team Software Process (TSP) concentrates on Teams.

Goal is to distill knowledge and transmit it to others. SEI has done a very good job with this.

SE472 is a PSP course in the style advocated by SEI. This class is not.
