Abstract
Project management tools are critical for managing software projects,
decreasing costs, accelerating timelines, and using available resources effectively. However, project managers find it very tedious
to choose a suitable software project management (SPM) tool from
available tools in the market. The appropriateness of the SPM tool
depends on the nature of the software project being developed –
an SPM tool suitable for a large-scale software project may not be
appropriate for small-scale projects. However, due to the complexities of the software projects and the development conditions, the
selection of an SPM tool is often biased by personal preferences or
marketing publicities which may lead to inefficiencies in SPM and
consequently, lead to higher cost and lower quality of end product.
In this work, we present a decision support framework for SPM tool
selection. The proposed system develops a set of selection criteria
based on an analytic network process (ANP). To demonstrate the
internal working of the proposed framework, we put forward an
example of the tool selection problem using the proposed system.
Furthermore, the proposed system can be used as is for SPM tool
selection for other than software projects.
