Journal Title: BAR: Brazilian Administration Review - Year 2020, Vol 17, Issue 1
Abstract
Project portfolio management has been studied through diverseaspects. Differentapproaches havebeen used to improveproject portfolio selection,but not all of themhave been actually used. This studypresents an artifact to improve project portfolio selection process in universities. The artifact considers strategic alignment and focuses on achievingconsensus, consideringuniversitycharacteristics aboutstrategic planning and decision making environment. The artifact was developed through an incremental approach using quasi-experiments in simulated situations to check and improve the accuracy of the solutions beingdeveloped. Finally, the artifactwas implemented in areal situation inside auniversity, involving 185 projects, 15 criteria,and 12 people from different faculties and knowledge areas. Results show thatthe artifact issuitable to the university environment. Beyond the artifact itself and some highlights involving its development process, the multicriteriaconstructivist approach, the balanced scorecard,and the scoring technique,another contribution isanadapted AHP toolcreatedto integratetraditional AHP from Saaty (1980) and a studyfrom Bose (2015) to reduce cognitive conflict in group decision making. Other studies, in more diverse contexts,still need to be done, but the proposal seems to be promised.
