A Fuzzy Approach to Model Evaluation of Project Complexity
نویسندگان
چکیده
Evaluating project complexity is the main means for successful projects and can play an important role in improving the project management of companies that take on multiple projects simultaneously. Despite the importance of this subject, there are few studies in this field and project managers have not paid a great deal of attention to it. In this paper, an exploratory approach has been taken to identify key project complexity criteria which have been narrowed down to the following; project size, project variety, project interdependency, and project context-dependence. Also, a Multiple-Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) method based on a Fuzzy Analytical Hierarchy Process (FAHP) is proposed to evaluate project complexity using the chosen criteria. Employing the Fuzzy AHP method in group decision-making facilitates a consensus of decisionmakers and reduces uncertainty. An example of application is presented to display the utility of the model.
