Personal Software Process (PSP) was proposed by Watts Humphrey from SEI, Pittsburg (USA), in 1995. PSP is about improving professional skills of a software engineer. It helps to make reliable commitments. According to PSP you should collect historical data describing your personal processes. Then you can apply statistical tools (eg. linear regression) to predict program size and the effort. Moreover, PSP proposes some techniques for quality assurance.
