Abstract :
To cut development cost and meet tight deadlines in short staffed software projects, managers must optimize the project schedule. Scheduling a software project is extremely difficult, though, because the time needed to complete a software development activity is hard to estimate. Often, the completion of a task is delayed because of unanticipated rework caused by feedback between activities in the process.
