Organizations might use several kind of criterias in order to select projects to their portfolio.

Some main categories of criterias include: financial criterias, risk criterias, strategic alignment criterias, complexity criterias, urgency criterias, technical knowledge criterias, commitment criterias, among other.

For each category, there are a lot of criterias that the organization can establish and use in the project selection process.

The intention of this post is opening a discussion about which are the main criterias adopted by organizations to select their projects.

Let's discuss together this subject?

The primary criteria for selection are Feasibility and ROI. If the project can be completed and delivered with existing capabilities, then we take the next step. In certain cases, the decision goes to ROI. If ROI is higher than additional resources can be deployed.

My clients use criteria specific to their business but I have one client in particular who has a number of criteria they evaluate against (not in any particular order):

- ROI
- alignment to strategic goals
- cost/benefit analysis
- alignment to achieving department goals or solving department problems
- support from key stakeholders
- use of resources
