Description
Summary:The Project Portfolio Problem (PPP) has been solved through different approaches. The success of some of them is related to a proper application of the decision-maker’s preferences, and a correct identification of organization’s resource practices and conditions. However, there are still a small number of classes of PPP that have been solved using these approaches, and there is also a need for increasing them. Due to this situation, the present research develops a strategy, based on ant colony optimization that incorporates the decision-maker’s preferences into the solution of a case of PPP under conditions of synergy, cannibalization, redundancy, and with interactions between projects. The algorithm was experimentally tested, and the results show a good performance of it over a random set of instances.
