Bayesian network model for task effort estimation in agile software development

Even though the use of agile methods in software development is increasing, the problem of effort estimation remains quite a challenge, mostly due to the lack of many standard metrics to be used for effort prediction in plan-driven software development. The Bayesian network model presented in this paper is suitable for effort prediction in any agile method. Simple and small, with inputs that can be easily gathered, the suggested model has no...
