Análisis de los Principales Aspectos que afectan a la Decisión de Selección y Planificación de Carteras de Proyectos

Abstract

Investment activities play an important role in any economic organization. That is why the problem of project portfolio and scheduling is one of the most important managerial tasks necessary to ensure the survival of any organization. In order to make a good selection or distribution of resources among a set of candidate projects in accordance with existing budget constraints, the decision process has to take into account several aspects, such as the multiplicity of objectives and constraints, the time factor, and the different relationships among projects (dependences, synergies, precedence, complementarities, etc.).

In this study, we review in depth and separately the most important contributions made by the main authors in the field of project portfolio selection, describing the development of the approaches to address those aspects and highlighting their advantages and disadvantages. This paper concludes with the presentation of our own proposal: a flexible model that considers all those aspects simultaneously and solves the project portfolio selection and scheduling problem for any given time horizon and for any type of organization.
