RT Conference Proceedings T1 Applying data mining to software development projects : a case study A1 Mata Vázquez, Jacinto A1 Álvarez Macías, José Luis A1 Riquelme Santos, José Cristóbal A1 Ramos, Isabel AB One of the main challenges that the project managers have during the building process of a software developmentproject (SDP) is to optimise the values of the parameters that measure the viability of the final process.The accomplishment of this task, something that was not easy at the beginning, was helped with the appearanceof dynamic models and simulation environments. The application of data mining techniques to the managingof Software Development Projects (SDP) is not an uncommon phenomenon, as in any other productive processthat generates information in the way of input data and output variables. In this paper, we present and analyzethe results obtained from a tool, developed by the authors, based on a Knowledge Discovery in Databases(KDD) technique. One of the most important contributions of these techniques to the software engineeringfield is the possibility of improving the management process of an SDP. The purpose is to provide accuratedecision rules in order to help the project manager to take decisions during the development.
