| The Personal Software Process (PSP) is process improvement at a personal level, i.e. a technique for the individual software developer to improve his/her way of working. An interesting concept, great success stories featured, though most of the time quite difficult to implement. If you are looking for something beyond the organization-wide process for improvement, read this. |

| One point often criticized in CMM, is that it does not sufficiently address soft-issues in software development. Humphrey always recognized that the process is only one of the important aspects, and concentrated in the last years solely on the issues arising when working in a team. He reports extremely positive results with the methods described in the Team Software Process. |
