Abstract

Selecting the most suitable agile software development method is a challenging task due to the variety of available methods, each with its strengths and weaknesses. To achieve project goals effectively, factors such as project needs, team size, complexity, and customer involvement should be carefully evaluated. Choosing the appropriate agile method is crucial for achieving high client satisfaction and effective team management, but it can be a challenging task for project managers and higher-level management officials.This paper presents a solution aiming to help them in selecting the most suitable software development method for their project. In this regard, this solution includes a pre-project management approach model and a decision tree that considers the unique requirements of the project. In the proposed solution results, Scrum was found to be suitable for both small and large projects, on the condition that roles and responsibilities are clearly defined and that the approach is people-centric. Furthermore, high-risk mitigation measures should be added for small projects. To facilitate the use of our model, a software application has been developed which implements the decision-making tree.

Abstract

The idea of using machine learning resolution techniques to predict student performance on an online learning platform such as Moodle has attracted considerable interest. Machine learning algorithms are capable of correctly interpreting the content and thus predicting the performance of our students. Algorithms namely gradient boosting machines (GBM) and eXtreme gradient boosting (XGBoost) are highly recommended by most researchers due to their high accuracy and smooth boosting time. This research was conducted to analyze the effectiveness of the XGBoost algorithm on Moodle platform to predict student performance by analyzing their online activities, practicing various types of online activities. The proposed algorithm was applied for the prediction of academic performance based on this data received from Moodle. The results demonstrate a strong correlation between many activities like the number of hours spent online and the achievement of academic goals, with a remarkable prediction rate of 0.949.
