A computer implemented system for project prediction is provided. The system includes a data manager to obtain historical project data. The system also includes an analyzer to analyze the historical project data and an analysis cycle time to generate models for a proposed project cycle time. Additionally, the system includes a user interface to select one model for the proposed project cycle time, wherein the selected model includes linear sub-models corresponding to a historical data range, and apply proposed project data and analysis cycle time to one linear sub-model corresponding to a proposed data range to predict the proposed project cycle time. Furthermore, the system captures proposed project data and obtains additional project data to update the selected model. The models provide for the accurate prediction of cycle times, or project costs, in an enterprise development environment.
