A BBN Based Approach for Improving a Telecommunication Software Estimation Process

This paper describes analytically a methodology for improving the estimation process of a small-medium telecommunication (TLC) company. All the steps required for the generation of estimates such as data collection, data transformation, estimation model extraction and finally exploitation of the knowledge explored are described and demonstrated as a case study involving a Greek TLC company. Based on this knowledge certain interventions are suggested in the current process of the company under study in order to include formal estimation procedures in each development phase.
