Integrating PSP with Agile Process: A Systematic Review

Abstract:

At present, software process integration is a hot research issue which aims to improve software development. Thus, our team was organized to research this topic and proposed a cube for integration among different Classifications of processes. Nearly two years ago, we chose the integration of PSP and Agile process as our first sub-direction and showed some conclusions in [1. During the past two years, we got more findings in the research guided by systematic review method. As we all know that, agile process is a light-weight development process which is useful for managing unexpected changes while PSP is a typical plan-driven process which provides a disciplined way to develop software. Although they are distinct from each other, we find that PSP and agile process could complement each other.
