Abstract

In this paper we present a classification model for predicting cost slippage using data mining techniques. The model uses the initial planning of an ICT project in terms of budget and schedule and then predicts the category of cost slippage of the project. Three categories are distinguished where low slippage is considered normal, medium slippage requires attention, and large slippage requires action. The model was trained and validated with two data sets from the US Federal IT Dashboard and the Dutch Rijks-ICT-Dashboard, respectively that hold project data for large governmental ICT projects. The classification model is intended as a project management tool for sponsors and managers of large ICT projects in the public sector.
