Abstract
One of the primary challenges in project management is to establish an effective methodology that can lead to both successful planning and stakeholder satisfaction. This is a critical decision that needs to be made at the beginning of the project, before the project’s product, service, or object has been realized. In the case of technology-related projects, the complexity is even greater, as the evolution of systems and impacts on visibility may only become evident during the execution phase. To address this challenge, we aim to deliver and validate an MDCM (Multiple-Criteria Decision Analysis) framework that can support the selection of an appropriate project management methodology. To achieve this goal, we have extracted relevant literature on the influencing factors for project management. Our framework provides a comprehensive multicriteria approach that integrates the most critical factors identified in the literature to assist project managers in selecting the most suitable project management approach. In summary, this work proposes a quantitative method that combines the most influential factors in the current project management literature with a multicriteria framework to support project management approach selection.
