Interactive content

If you’re not engaged, you’re not learning.

Our PSP training is peppered with highly interactive learning exercises that help you grasp the key concepts of applying PSP.

Multiple choice exercises and thoughtful feedback are a key part of our highly interactive approach to learning PSP.

We encourage you to stay connected with our learning material by exploring plausible outcomes and different scenarios – it’s all part of a vibrant and engaging learning experience.

Real world examples

Context is the lifeblood of valuable learning experiences.

We’ve gone to great lengths to apply real world examples to the experience of learning PSP.

One clever example of a performance improvement technique in another field can really encapsulate an entire lesson.

So look out for our examples drawn from various disciplines including athletics, manufacturing, and architecture.

Coding assignments

It’s not enough just to work through interactive content and real world examples, however.

We believe in the power of practice to reinforce learning and “make it stick” for developers.

So our PSP training includes a series of coding assignments to reinforce the concepts you’re learning.

Instructional video

Sometimes you just need to hear it from an expert.

Our PSP Training includes instructional video from renowned PSP experts in the field.

The real-life experiences of those at the frontline of implementing PSP/TSP are not to be missed.

We also include video footage of real world projects, like building a rock wall in your back yard, to emphasize the importance of planning and estimating even the most personal projects.

This broad spectrum of video-based experiences always ties back into the core elements of the Personal Software Process and the fundamentals of modern software development.

Reference material

Don’t be put off by all this talk of challenges and coding assignments.

We offer tons of supporting reference material to help you master PSP on your own terms.

Our partnership with Safari Books Online provides access to key PSP texts that will help you along the way.

Live Guides

Sometimes you simply need to phone a friend.

Our PSP training includes built-in LiveGuide support, which allows you to have online conversations with expert support staff.

Conversations with LiveGuides are mediated by email or instant messaging.
