SUMMARY:P33 - PSIP Toolkit: A Lightweight Process for Incremental Software
  Process Improvement
DESCRIPTION:Poster\n\nP33 - PSIP Toolkit: A Lightweight Process for Increm
 ental Software Process Improvement\n\nRaybourn, Gonsiorowski, Milewicz, Ro
 gers, Sims...\n\nMany scientific software development teams experience cha
 llenges in their development practices.  They may or may not be recog
 nized as “pain points”, but nevertheless can adversely im
 pact the team’s development or scientific productivity, sustainabili
 ty of their software, reliability of their scientific results, etc.  
 Even when such challenges are recognized, teams may not see a way to impro
 ve the situation, or may consider potential solutions to be too expensive 
 or onerous. We present Productivity and Sustainability Improvement Plannin
 g (PSIP), a lightweight process and toolkit that can help teams improve th
 eir software development practices systematically. Our PSIP toolkit f
 eatures methods to query a team’s project, and a guided self-assessm
 ent that enables the examination of software development, planning, perfor
 mance, reliability, and collaboration practices. PSIP is then implemented 
 via identifying incremental improvements and executing plans based on Prog
 ress Tracking Cards (PTCs). The approach is iterative. Once sufficien
 t progress has been made on a PSIP goal, a new challenge can be identified
  and a plan developed and executed to address it. Over a series of PSIP ac
 tivities, the benefits accumulate, and the trajectory of development conti
 nues to improve. We will provide examples of several PSIP experiences, and
  describe the toolkit used by teams.
