Abstract
Summary form only given. The Personal Software Process
(PSP)TM promises to be a powerful tool for software
educators. The author describes the PSP and some results achieved by
using it. The author also discusses the principles behind the PSP and
the reasons why it is effective as a teaching instrument. The author
suggests some implications of the PSP for software education. The
principal PSP objective is to demonstrate the benefits of using a
defined process, planning and tracking development work, measuring
engineering performance, and managing work quality. The PSP is
introduced with a family of processes and a set of exercises. By
following the processes to do the ten exercises, engineers learn the
methods and they see from their own data how the methods work for them
