Abstract

A useful supporting tool is very important to the success of PSP/TSP adoption. Based upon our experience, we summarize the requirements of a useful PSP/TSP supporting tool as follows: 1) support all phases of the PSP/TSP completely; 2) record and use historical data easily; 3) support teamwork effectively; and 4) provide team data in real time, enabling the PSP/TSP coach to see the process data at any time. In this paper, we propose a web-based PSP/TSP supporting tool, APIS (Advanced Process Improvement Solution). This tool meets all of the requirements stated above. APIS was deployed in SaaS (Software as a Service) manner, and users can rent software through the Internet. APIS has been used in more than thirty projects, and we have received a lot of positive feedback.
