Multicriteria Decision Analysis

A method that uses a decision matrix to define and weigh criteria (such as risk, uncertainty, and value) so multiple options can be scored, compared, and ranked in a consistent, transparent way.

Key Points

  • Uses a decision matrix to score alternatives against agreed criteria.
  • Criteria can include risk exposure, uncertainty, cost, benefit, feasibility, and strategic fit.
  • Supports objective, repeatable prioritization by applying weights to each criterion.
  • Useful for evaluating many ideas, vendors, requirements, or solution options.

Example

A project team must choose among five software vendors. They build a matrix with criteria such as total cost of ownership (30%), security compliance (25%), implementation risk (20%), scalability (15%), and user experience (10%). Each vendor is scored 1–5 per criterion, multiplied by the weights, and summed. The highest total score identifies the preferred vendor, with a clear rationale for stakeholders.

PMP Example Question

  2. Multicriteria decision analysis
  3. Affinity diagram
  4. Delphi technique

Correct Answer: B — Multicriteria decision analysis

Explanation: It applies a decision matrix with weighted criteria to score and rank multiple alternatives objectively.
