Abstract

Project Management is the application of knowledge, skills, tools and techniques to project activities in order to meet project requirements. The success of any project relies heavily on the initial estimation of all project parameters. The absence of reliable estimations leads to ineffective project planning, over- or under-commitment of resources and therefore an increased likelihood of a software project failure. Fuzzy Logic is a soft-computing technique used to effectively solve uncertainties due to imprecise inputs to generate linguistic or quantitative outputs. This paper presents a novel framework for project management incorporating fuzzy logic known as 'fuzzy ProjectManager'. Furthermore, this paper demonstrates the application of fuzzy logic as a feasible technique for improved estimation accuracy of all software project estimations to ensure higher software project success rates.
