Training
Managing TSPSM
Teams
This two-day course is intended for managers who directly manage software
development teams. The course covers the principles of the TSP and its use by
self-directed teams. Participants learn how they and their teams will use the TSP to
improve performance in terms of increased visibility into project status, improved
quality, and continuous improvement. The course focuses on operational skills such as how
to determine project status in terms of customer value, schedule, and quality. The
course also focuses on the changing role from project "managers" to "team
leaders" and "team coaches".
Candidates for this course include software
project managers, software team leaders, and software supervisors who have some
familiarity with software engineering and software development, and who will be leading
TSP-teams.
