In order to realize reliable software development, prob- lems in software development must be detected and avoided as soon as possible. Thus, detecting signs of problems at an early stage of the software project is important. Much research has been carried out on the detection of problem signs of software development projects [2, 3]. This study shows an easy-to-use approach to predict runaway projects in an organization to achieve reliable development process. Experimental results of predicting runaway projects are also shown.
