• Trends in Software Process: The PSP and Agile Methods
• IEEE Software Magazine V20n3(May/Jun 2003)pp89-91
• =EXPERIENCE PSP AGILE PROCESS
• Both PSP and Agile methods worked (on different projects).
• One case: 2 projects customized PSP and where "the most effective projects" out of 16 on record.
• The other case: agility overcame risk tired to developing hardware. Used Strata: cross cutting concerns that effected many subsystems/teams. Strata developed independently and integrated... across subsystems.

• =EDITORIAL =HISTORY SQA QUALITIES

  ---

  1. Many kinds of quality.
  2. Regulated vs unregulated industries,
  3. Any evidence that a given standard promotes a given quality?
  4. what qualities preserved when different standards are used for different parts of a piece of software.
  5. How to handle change?
  6. SQA sometimes failed because it was bad QA!
