摘要：The systems and software development industry is characterized by a paradigm of project failure. There are various factors that can lead to project failure .One such factor is gold plating. Gold plating can cause various problems in the projects like increase in project complexity, use of more resources, and increase in time and budget of the project and many more. If effects of gold plating are not estimated it will lead to the failure of the project. So, in order to estimate the effects of gold plating we have designed a tool based on fuzzy cognitive maps (FCM). With the help of this tool developer can know the effects of doing gold plating on the project and based on the output of the tool the developer can make subsequent decisions regarding the project.
