This thesis work documents the results of a study which examines the impact of the Personal Software Process (PSP) on the performance of software engineers, the methodology (Barker's method) employed throughout the development of the automated PSP prototype, and significance of engaging in Web technology. It describes the effects of PSP on key performance dimensions of engineers, including their ability to estimate and plan their work, their work process and productivity. An automated Intranet application to support PSP approach was developed as a prototype in this thesis work by utilizing Barker's method throughout the system development life cycle. This body of work examines the feasibility and benefits provided by Intranet technology, and integration of Intranet technology with database applications. As a means of evaluation, the prototype was compared and contrasted with a manual PSP system.
