Purpose: Interview organizations that are still using TSP℠, those that are no longer using TSP,  and those that never started. The purpose is to better understand “Why?” for each of these cases. If we better understand the “why?” this will better position our community for our future development of the materials as well as the messaging of the work that we do.

2020 Year End Report

Purpose: Break TSP℠ apart into a set of distinct practices and behaviors, to inform the development of incremental introduction strategies, new training materials, and next-generation tools.

Proposed Near-term Goals:

• Refinement of the standalone solutions list
• Grow our awareness of agile practices. Work to align TSP solutions with those practices and with the needs of agile teams
• Focus on implementation: flesh out solutions and make them usable for implementation (training, tooling, etc).
• Pilot our solution implementations
• Identify “solution bundles” for common target audiences
