SE450: PSP: Introducing Personal Disciplines [12/28]

Quoting Watts Humphrey:

• Until they try it, most software professionals do not believe disciplined engineering will work for them.
  • They won't try it without evidence.
  • They can't get evidence without trying it.
• The PSP course provides this experience.
  • Engineers write 10 programs.
  • They start with their current methods.
  • They advance in steps to the full PSP.
  • They gather data on every program.
• They see from their own data that, with disciplined personal methods, they do better work.
