Allendale, MI USA ferguson@csis.gvsu.eduABSTRACTThe Personal Software Process (PSP) was designed to help Software Engineers producehigh quality software [1]. PSP helps in the estimating, planning, development ofsoftware systems. PSP shows the Software Engineer how to track performance againstother related software systems, and most importantly, it shows the engineer that PSP canguide their work so they can produce quality software. As of today, only experiencedpractitioners of Software Engineering have used PSP. However, the rigor of PSP shouldhelp novice engineers better manage their time as they design, develop, test and maintainprojects. This paper reports the results of a four month study conduct by the
