Lessons learned from teaching reflective software engineering using the Leap toolkit

Abstract

After using and teaching the Personal Software Process (PSP)[6] for over four years, we came to appreciate the insights and benefits that it gave us. However, we noticed some general problems with the PSP. First, we started to question the quality of the data we recorded. In 1998, Anne Disney and Dr. Philip Johnson conducted a study to look at the data quality of the PSP data. They found that there are significant data quality issues with the manual PSP[2, 3]. Second, our experiences with industrial partners, management practices, and Robert Austin's book "Measuring and Managing Performance in Organizations"[1] brought to our attention the issue of measurement dysfunction in empirical software process improvement and review data. Essentially, measurement dysfunction means that an organization's goals to improve software development and formal technical review may inadv...
