Using key performance eco indicators for selecting R&D projects

Abstract

In this paper, we analyze key performance eco indicators for selecting R&D projects using Microsoft Project Server 2010 tools. Project portfolio selection is a crucial decision in many organizations, which must make informed decisions on investment, where the appropriate distribution of investment is complex, due to varying levels of risk, resource requirements, and interaction among the proposed projects. A "project portfolio" is usually defined as a centralized collection of projects managed jointly to enhance advantages to the organization or to minimize risk. From a technical standpoint, within Project Server 2010, a portfolio of projects should be defined as a set of projects that share the same cost or resource constraints.
