Project Portfolio: A Job Scheduling Approach

This work is devoted to the portfolio project management problem and more specifically is focused on IT portfolios´ management. This problem is formulated as Resource Constrained Scheduling Problem (RCPSP). The contemporary organisations such as the IT companies plan and execute a set of projects that share common resources. Therefore, each IT organisation develops a set of IT projects and it has to handle them concurrently. In this study we reviewed the literature and developed a system model based on the job shop scheduling problem modelling and expressed it as recursive neural network. We propose an initial solution by applying a greedy algorithm that can be used as input to the RNN.
