The problems in the sofnyare engineering profession have received a great deal of attention in recent years: failure to meet software development schedules and costs, the low level of quality and reliability in many software systems, a lack of professional standards, and the general lack of maturity of the software engineering discipline. To help address these problems the Software Engineering Institute developed the Capability Maturity Model. More recently Watts Humphrey has developed the Personal Sofrware Process (PSP) to help individual engineers improve the effectiveness of their software development activities. Hundreds of students and engineers have been successfully trained in PSP, and the training is starting to show positive results in industry. The panel will discuss what is the current status of PSP training in both industry and academia. They will also explore ideas (and associated problems) concerned with introducing PSP into computing curricula.
