Using Bayesian Networks for Web Effort Estimation
Emilia Mendez · Advances in computational intelligence and robotics book series · 2010
Web effort models and techniques provide the means for Web companies to formalise the way they estimate effort for their projects, and help in obtaining more accurate estimates. Accurate estimates are fundamental to help project managers allocate resources more adequately, thus supporting projects to be finished on time and within budget. The aim of this chapter is to introduce the concepts related to Web effort estimation and effort forecasting techniques, and to discuss effort prediction when the estimation technique used is Bayesian Networks.
