Abstract:

IT service industry has enjoyed tremendous growth in the past decade. Large IT service companies nowadays typically engage in a large number of projects at any given point of time. Constantly monitoring and managing these projects has become a challenging job, as the pure amount of information is overwhelming. In this talk, we will present an approach that integrates information from diverse sources to predict future project performance. Driven by practical needs, our approach has the following two features: accommodate different time-scales, and auto adapt to prediction error.
