Title
SCRUM-PSP: Embracing Process Agility and Discipline
Abstract
With the research and debates on software process, the mainstream software processes can be grouped into two categories, the plan-driven (disciplined) processes and the agile processes. In terms of the classification, personal software process (PSP) is a typical plan-driven process while SCRUM is an agile-style instance. Although they are distinct from each other per se, our research found that PSP and SCRUM may also complement each other when SCRUM provides an agile process management framework, and PSP provides the skills and disciplines that a qualified team member needs to estimate, plan and manage his/her job. This paper proposes an integrated process model, SCRUM-PSP, which combines the strengths of each. We also verified that this integrated process by adopting it into a real project environment where typical agile processes are favored, i.e. change-prone requirements, rapid development, fast delivery, etc. As a result, manageability and predictability which traditional plan-driven processes usually benefit can also be achieved. The work described in this paper is a worthy attempt to embrace both process agility and discipline.
