Resumen

El problema de la selección de carteras de proyectos es un aspecto crucial en cualquier organización que consiste en cómo planificar y distribuir unos recursos limitados entre un conjunto de proyectos candidatos a lo largo de un periodo temporal. Al mismo tiempo, ha de tenerse en consideración tanto múltiples objetivos como restricciones que pueden variar a lo largo del horizonte temporal. En este trabajo presentamos un programa informático con un entorno amigable para el usuario denominado Project Portfolio Selection Tool (PPST). Dicho programa ayuda a los decisores a realizar la tarea de la selección y planificación temporal de las carteras de proyectos eficientes. Para ello, incorpora un modelo general multiobjetivo que es resuelto a través de un algoritmo metaheurístico. Posteriormente, a través de un procedimiento interactivo, PPST ayuda a los decisores a explorar el espacio de soluciones a fin de alcanzar la cartera de proyectos que más se ajusta a sus preferencias. Para finalizar, presentamos una aplicación real en una Universidad Pública, como forma de ilustrar el funcionamiento general de la aplicación, así como su utilidad.
