Title:

Improving Software Development project Team Performance: A Web-based Expert System for Project Control.

What is proposing?:

States how uncertainty and lack of experience affects software project which usually (less 20%) finish within budget and time. They propose the use of an expert system for analyzing & assessing project plans based on heuristics or expert judgment reducing this failure rate.

Its describes a theoretical framework, the architecture and methodology employed by its PMA system.

Strengths:

The system is based on an inferential model using both expert judgment and a database from traditional tools to create new knowledge.

Weaknesses:

Requires experience software project managers for providing the initial data framework, which can vary form different industries.

Future Work:

Looking forward to find a common expert judgment which may apply for different industries by using this system.
