A Multi-criteria Approach to a More Effective Management of Projects
This paper discusses about the difficulty to control a complex project due to the great number of performance indicators. More specifically, the problem studied relates how to allow project managers to better control the performance of their projects. From a literature review, we note several critical aspects on this problem: there are many dimensions for evaluating project performance (cost, time, quality, risk); the performance factors should be allowed to build relevant aggregates to control the project; it does not exist formalized tool to do that; and there is also a lack of tools to forecast project performance. Through a performance cube, we propose a method to facilitate the project performance analysis by a multicriteria approach. The method develops two particular axes for the analysis of project performance: the project tasks and the categories of performance indicators. The MACBETH method is finally used to aggregate the performance expressions. Our proposition develops solutions to evaluate both the status and the forecast performance. An application case on a real project management situation is finally proposed to illustrate the purpose.
