Case Study of Project Outcome Prediction for an IT Vendor
Tomoyuki Kawamura, Kenichi Takano · International Workshop Quantitative Approaches to Software Quality · 2015
Researchers have found that approximately 70% of information systems development projects in Japan have failed, thus increasing the demand for solutions that will raise expected project success rates. It is said that to improve success rates, support should be provided by the organization to which the projects belong. The study aims to identify projects that an organization should support preferentially by predicting a project outcome. Several researches have demonstrated that they could predict project outcomes using risk assessment results in projects with specific characteristics such as in-house embedded software development. In this study, we try to predict project outcomes using the results of risk assessment at the establishment of requirements stage for the projects of a specific IT vendor in Japan.
