Abstract

Effort estimation is one of the main pillars of sound project management as its accuracy can affect significantly whether projects will be delivered on time and within budget. Numerous studies have investigated this topic within the context of either Web or software project management. However, given that, as already explained in Chap. “Introduction to Knowledge Management”, the emphasis of this book is on expert-based models to improve effort estimates for Web projects, the focus of this chapter is to only provide an overview of previous studies in Web effort estimation. A detailed overview of effort estimation within the context of software projects is given in Jorgensen and Shepperd (IEEE Trans Softw Eng 33:33–53, 2007).
