Plan-Driven Software Processes

Plan-driven software development is a more formal specific approach to creating an application. Plan-driven methodologies all incorporate: repeatability and predictability, a defined incremental process, extensive documentation, up-front system architecture, detailed plans, process monitoring, controlling and education, risk management, verification and validation.

Three of the most promidant plan-driven methodologies are the Personal Software Process (PSP), Team Software Process (TSP), and Rational Unified Process (RUP).
