Abstract
This chapter describes a case study where Bayesian networks (BNs) were used to construct a Web effort estimation model for use by a small Web company in Auckland (New Zealand) to manage their Web projects. This model was solely elicited from expert knowledge, with the participation of one project manager, and was validated using data from eight past finished projects. It contains 15 factors and 14 relationships identified by the domain expert as fundamental for Web effort estimation, and was built using 36 person-hours.
