Objective
The critical factor in producing NCs is definitely the software. For our business we need: More reliable software, less time dedicated to the software maintenance, reduced time to market, better prediction of the time to market.
THE EXPERIMENT
A significant improvement in software quality is only possible if each software engineer really wants to achieve it.
ISO 9000 or other organisational rules are frequently applied in stereotyped way, thus reducing and even vanishing the possible benefits. Each software engineer should be in a kind of competition with himself and his previous results. Each software engineer should be motivated to use a disciplined personal process, partially defined by himself and fitting his needs.
The Personal Software Process (PSP), defined by Watts Humphrey (of the Software Engineering Institute at the Carnegie Mellon University) in his recent book "A Discipline for Software Engineering" takes precisely this point of view. This experiment aims at introducing the PSP in the company
EXPECTED IMPACT AND EXPERIENCE
The main objectives are: Number of faults per Mloc, reduced to 25%. Maintenance effort, reduced to the 10% of the total development effort. Productivity, 25% improvement. More accurate prediction of the projects planned duration (<1,2). Improved motivation of the staff.

Funding Scheme
Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.
