Bayesian-based Project Monitoring: Framework Development and Model Testing

Abstract:  During  project  implementation,  risk  becomes  an  integral  part  of  project  monitoring. Therefore. a tool that could dynamically include elements of risk in project progress monitoring is needed.  The  objective  of  this  study  is  to  develop  a  general  framework  that  addresses  such  a concern. The developed framework consists of three interrelated major building blocks, namely: Risk  Register  (RR),  Bayesian  Network  (BN),  and  Project  Time  Networks  (PTN)  for  dynamic project monitoring. RR is used to list and to categorize identified project risks. PTN is utilized for modeling the relationship between project activities. BN is used to reflect the interdependence among risk factors and to bridge RR and PTN. A residential development project is chosen as a working  example  and  the  result  shows  that  the  proposed  framework  has  been  successfully applied. The specific model of the development project is also successfully developed and is used to  monitor  the  project  progress.  It  is  shown  in  this  study  that  the  proposed  BN-based  model provides superior performance in terms of forecast accuracy compared to the extant models.
