Abstract
Software engineering (SE) practitioners must follow mature and quality processes, so that they can compete in an industry that demands quality products. In order to address this need, SEI proposed a personal methodology called PSP to improve the SE skill set of practitioners. In Latin American, there are more than 1200 professionals certified in this methodology, but the number should be higher if indeed PSP helps improving SE skills. This work uses data from job advertisements portals and survey to recruiters to find out what are the soft skills requested by companies in the Latin American software industry and compare them with the responses of PSP professionals regarding what are the strengths of PSP formation. The comparison brought favorable results. Then, a proposal of integration of PSP into the Curriculum of a Software Engineering career is presented.
