Abstract

Effective and efficient selection of IT projects is crucial for company's competitiveness. The selection of IT projects usually involves consideration of budget constraints but existing IT project selection models often neglect budget constraints. This paper presents an IT project selection model which considers budget constraints. AHP(Analytic Hierarchy Process) and Knapsack problem model have been combined to develop the proposed model, AHP-K model, where AHP is used to estimate weights of selection criteria and, then, a knapsack problem model is utilized to optimize selection of IT project while meeting the budget constraints. In this paper, a case study is provided to validate the effectiveness of the proposed AHP-K model. It has been shown that the proposed AHP-K model is better than the AHP model in terms of total utility of projects and investment efficiency.

IT프로젝트를 수행하는 기업은 정해진 예산범위 내에서 투자계획을 수립하고 실행하게 된다. 이 과정에서 IT프로젝트를 효과적, 효율적으로 선정하는 문제는 기업경쟁력과 직결되는 중요한 요소이다. 그동안 IT프로젝트의 선정을 위한 다양한 모형이 개발되었으나 예산제약을 고려한 효과적 프로젝트 선정에 대한 연구는 보고되지 않고 있다. 본 연구에서는 예산 제약을 고려하여 효과적으로 IT프로젝트를 선정하는 기법을 제시하였다. 본 연구에서 제안한 모델(AHP-K)에서는 AHP(Analytic Hierarchy Process : 계층분석법) 기법을 적용하여 평가 항목의 가중치와 프로젝트 후보군의 가중치를 산정한 후 배낭문제(Knapsack Problem)를 적용하여 예산 범위 내에서 프로젝트 효용을 최대화하는 선정안을 도출한다. 실제 적용단계에서 고려하는 대안이 많거나 신규대안이 추가되는 경우 쌍대비교의 수행이 어려운 점을 감안하여 대안 비교 단계에서 절대평가법을 적용하였다. 본 연구에서는 제시된 모델을 실제 사례에 적용하여 기존 AHP 모형과 비교 분석함으로써 효과성을 검증하였다.
