Software development as a competitive advantage -- and the downside risks associated with "leaving well enough alone"! By Watts S. Humphrey, the world's leading authority on software process improvement. Includes primers on Humphrey's breakthrough Personal Software Process (PSP™) and Team Software Process (TSP™). In Winning With Software, the world's leading expert in software process improvement turns his attention to executives, demonstrating how to transform software development into a powerful competitive advantage -- and revealing the risks of inaction. Watts Humphrey begins by illuminating the central role of software development in virtually every organization -- technical and non-technical alike. He helps executives understand the "operational profile" of their current software development organizations; explains why software projects fail; demonstrates the bottom-line advantages of software quality; and more. Humphrey shows how to set realistic quality goals; explains how to change engineering behavior that leads to suboptimal results; and demonstrates how to build motivated teams. The book concludes with detailed primers on the Personal Software Process (PSP™) and Team Software Process (TSP™), Humphrey's breakthrough solutions for making software quality improvement succeed over the long haul. For all CxO-level executives, line-of-business managers, and IT managers. Watts S. Humphrey the world's leading authority on software process improvement, is now a Fellow at the Software Engineering Institute at Carnegie Mellon, where he provided the vision for the Capability Maturity Model (CMM), and led its early development. Formerly a longtime senior manager of software development at IBM, Humphrey is author of several influential books on software process improvement.
