WORK BEHAVIOR PREDICTION DURING SOFTWARE PROJECTS DEVELOPMENT

Abstract

Software projects are well known for their high overruns in terms of budget and time. As they grow larger, project monitoring becomes harder. In such a context, forecasting becomes a critical “ability”, helping the project manager to understand where the project is heading, in terms of required budged and implementation time. In this paper, we present a forecasting method that we developed, which makes use of a distinct representation of the observed behavior of project team members towards work that is Work Behavior. Moreover, we present the first results from experiments on real-world software project development data that show that our method is more accurate than a very popular prediction method, implemented by most ALM tools.
