Participation in symposium sessions allows PSP Developers credential holders the opportunity to stay sharp with current practices, learn new applications of PSP, and network with other professionals while earning Professional Development Units (PDUs).

Symposium Objectives

This symposium will provide a forum for the free exchange of ideas and implementation methodology for TSP, and will afford a unique opportunity to meet with the sponsors, developers, and users of TSP, as well as those offering TSP training, coaching, and implementation assistance.

Who Should Attend

The primary audience for this symposium is those individuals who are using the TSP. It is also suitable for practitioners of the Personal Software Process (PSP). Managers and engineers who are interested in learning more about PSP and TSP should attend. The conference will also be of interest to PSP/TSP instructors and TSP launch coaches and the managers and engineers who work with them.

“The TSP Symposium is a great opportunity to learn from organizations that are adopting the Team Software Process. Last year’s conference was packed with excellent presentations, discussions and a chance to build a professional network with other software quality and engineering process improvement experts.”
