Abstract

Evaluation of software project management is a crucial for software development organizations. However, the process of software project management is burdened, among other reasons, by various sources of uncertainty due to the lack of information for objectives of evaluation, differences in knowledge and experience of participating experts, fuzzy reviews of experts. A step-by-step algorithm for uncertainty reasoning of software project management using mathematical tools of evidence theory is presented. It is shown that the presented evidential uncertainty reasoning is very efficient for evaluating the successful level of software project management and is helpful for software development organizations to improve management.
