Abstract

Project management is a knowledge intensive activity. Managers use their skills and experience to make decisions during the execution of a software development process. Better results in terms of attending to schedule, budget, and functionality, are usually achieved due to managers' accumulated experiences and knowledge. In this paper we address the creation and reuse of software project management knowledge. We present a knowledge representation, namely scenario models, which allows a manager to verify the impact of theories, procedures, actions, and strategies that can be applied or imposed upon a software project. Scenario models compose a reusable knowledge base useful for project managers, who can reuse scenarios to assess the impact of their assumptions upon their projects. We present an application of the proposed approach within a risk management process and the results from a first experimental analysis of the techniques.
