Process improvement based on PSP

Objetivo

INTRACOM's main business concern is to provide reliable and safe products as well as to improve its market competitiveness. To the satisfaction of this common business concern, the objective of the PIBOP experiment is to introduce W.H. Humphrey's Personal Software Process (PSP) method at INTRACOM S.A. This method, focusing on the individual software engineer level, allows for systematic implementation of proven practices on planning, tracking and analysis of software design work and products.

THE EXPERIMENT
The PIBOP experiment will introduce the PSP method at INTRACOM, focusing on a typical project as a baseline. The initial step of the PIBOP PIE is the setting-up and integration of the experiment within a typical baseline project. Then, introduction and training on the PSP method is carried out, and the specific adaptation procedures for the baseline project are documented. The PSP will be executed throughout the baseline project and the PIE results will be evaluated based on appropriate measurements. The four main phases of the experiment are: PSP introduction, PSP adaptation, PSP execution and PSP evaluation. The baseline project involves development of software modules for AXE-10 Ericsson digital exchanges. The duration of the baseline project will be 12 months and the estimated effort will be 8 person-years.

The PIBOP experiment will take place at INTRACOM's Software Design Centre which employs 180 highly qualified software engineers.

EXPECTED IMPACT AND EXPERIENCE
Technical benefits from PIBOP include: identification of process improvements, prevention of defects in software development, better planning and control in projects and improved product quality. Commercial benefits include: reduction of software development cost, shortening of the time-to-market for software products and increased product reliability at customer's site. Through PIBOP, INTRACOM will gain experience in introducing and applying the PSP method to software developing organisations.
