An Investigation of the Use of BBNs for Project Management

چکیده
Dynamic models such as Bayesian Networks are of late becoming increasingly popular among the Software Engineering research community. Such models take into account the causal relationship between the variables of a domain, and therefore may provide better solutions to many of the problems in this area. This paper concerns the use of Bayesian Belief Networks (BBNs) in project management. Creation of a BBN to reflect a software engineering problem is a challenging task. In this paper, we will concentrate on the creation of a BBN by using domain data. There are many semi-automatic approaches available in literature but there are also many open issues in these approaches. We will discuss the step by step construction of a BBN using the dataset from a Web-related academic projects involving 37 Web sites.

متن کاملAn Investigation of Prediction Models for Project Management
It has been claimed that dynamic prediction models can be used to help project managers make more accurate estimates than static prediction models. However, such a claim needs to be validated so that project managers can use dynamic models with confidence. In this paper, we discuss an experiment we conducted in an academic environment that compared a dynamic model using BBNs with a static model...
