ABSTRACT: Requirements
prioritization is one of the key factors in deciding the success of the project
and hence the software industry. One of the major concerns in software
prioritization techniques is that the existing ranking techniques have a very
modest support to different criteria used by stakeholders to present their
ranking. The current techniques are not suitable for arriving at anoptimized
view of multiple stakeholders using multiple criteria. This research analyzes
the issues in existing techniques. A web based decision support model using
ELECTRE as the method for prioritization is proposed. ELECTRE is a
multi-criteria decision making model that is proved to be effective in ranking
several decision making problems. The proposed system takes input from multiple
stakeholders using 100-point method. An optimized ranking is obtained using
ELECTRE method. The developed system is validated using a pilot project and is
found to be efficient in terms of saving cost of implementation and man-hours
needed for implementation.
