Phd dissertation on Software engineering: Risk management in software project scheduling using bayesian networks

The research provides answers to the above questions with probabilistic approaches and tools to assess the impacts of risk factors on software project scheduling; proposing list of common risk factors and Bayesian Network model of these risk factors; and proposing advanced scheduling methods based on incorporating Bayesian Networks into popular scheduling techniques such as CPM, PERT or agile iteration scheduling etc. Bayesian Networks help quantify the factors, and hence help better manage them as well as enhancing the predictability of things happen in the project.
