AloDIn: um método de alocação de recursos difuso-indutivo

Abstract

The allocation of human resources in software projects is a fundamental activity in project management. The manager is the best qualified individual to assess the team skills and abilities to deliver better quality software. In the literature were found several allocation approaches that refer to the use of product metrics to estimate costs and deadlines, some authors use the assessment of technical skills to estimate the same, but the two forms are done isolated. This work created a method of allocation of resources, called AloDIn, based on fuzzy logic, metrics, quality requirements and the set of skills working in an integrated mode. The method has 4 main steps: i) determine the skill set of the resources using fuzzy, ii) identify the source code quality of each resource using fuzzy, iii) allocate resources based on the values obtained in previous steps and perform their crossing through fuzzy logic, iv) finalization of the project and updating the abilities of the resources. Using the proposed method, the manager focuses not only over subjectivity of the resource's abilities, but uses metrics that can help him achieve an allocation that is closer to the ideal.
