The Team Software Process

Abstract
The Team Software Process (TSP)SM has been designed to help engineering
teams more effectively develop software intensive products. TSP has been
used with pure software teams and with mixed teams of hardware and
software engineers. TSP has also been used for both new development and
enhancement and with commercial and imbedded real-time systems. The
languages used have included Java, C, Jovial, C++, and special 4GLs. TSP
can be used with teams of from 2 to 20 engineers developing or enhancing
software-intensive systems. Its objective is to assist the engineers in
producing quality products on their planned schedules and within their
estimated costs.
This talk describes TSP's objectives, the logic behind the TSP process,
and the relationships among the TSP, PSP, and CMM©. A growing number of
organizations have used the TSP and this talk will describe the
experiences of several of them and provide some data on their results.
Finally, the talk briefly reviews the TSP introduction strategy and some
of the key issues involved in successfully introducing the TSP.
Biography Watts S. Humphrey is currently an SEI Fellow at the
Software Engineering Institute (SEI) of Carnegie Mellon University. He
joined the SEI after his retirement from IBM in 1986. While at the SEI, he
established the Process Program, led the initial development of the
Capability Maturity Model SM [CMM®] framework for software for
institutional growth, and introduced the concepts of Software Process
Assessment and Software Capability Evaluation. The CMM is now used by
software organizations throughout the world to guide their process
improvement work. It has become the standard used by the U.S. Department
of Defense, the British Ministry of Defense, and many other government
departments and industrial corporations to evaluate their own capabilities
and those of their software suppliers. His most recent work is on the Personal
Software Process SM [PSP SM] and the Team Software Process SM [TSP SM].
Prior to joining the SEI, Mr. Humphrey spent 27 years with IBM in various
technical executive positions including the management of all IBM
commercial software development. This included the first 19 releases of
OS/360. He was also IBM's Vice President of Technical Development,
responsible for the system architecture and software development for the
IBM System 370 product line. At one time, while he was IBM director of
Policy Development, he was responsible for IBM's world-wide hardware and
software contracts and competitive practices. Most recently, he was IBM's
Director of Programming Quality and Process.
Mr. Humphrey holds graduate degrees in Physics from the Illinois Institute
of Technology and Business Administration from the University of Chicago.
He is an SEI Fellow, a member of the ACM, an IEEE Fellow, and a past
member of the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award Board of Examiners.
He was awarded the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics
Software Engineering Award for 1993, and the SEI Leadership Award in 1997.
His publications include many technical papers and six books. His most
recent books are: "Managing the Software Process" (1989), "A Discipline
for Software Engineering" (1995), "Managing Technical People" (1996), and
"Introduction to the Personal Software Process" (1997). He holds five US.
Patents.
