Software project management is a complex task that requires accurate information and experience to inform the decisionmaking process. In the real world software project managers rarely have access to perfect information. In order to support them, we propose leveraging information from Version Control Systems and their repositories to support decision-making. In this paper, we propose a PROV model GitHub2PROV, which extends Git2PROV with details about GitHub commits and issues from GitHub repositories. We discuss how this model supports project management decisions in agile development, specifically in terms of Control Schedule Reviews and workload.
