Abstract :
We present RiskExpert, an expert system tool that can be used by management for analyzing metrics data and predicting fixture results based on past trends and expert knowledge. The expert advice generated by RiskExpert from metric data analysis can greatly aid in reducing various risks involved in a software project life cycle, such as cost overruns and schedule delays. RiskExpert also allows the manager to pose questions on expected results for hypothetical projects that can be dynamically created, enabling him to pose What If? questions and analyze the results if he had done things a different way
