I'm in need of a free tool to be able to prioritize my projects based upon requirements and type of projects, does anyone have any good tool to help with this?

I have a stack of 30 projects, all coming in at once, but a limited number of resources. I know I have several things (criteria) that I use for instant prioritization, such as is the project a regulatory project vs. a strategic platform, etc. But I want to be able to define these even deeper to be able to score them to show which projects are coming in higher than the others so that I can schedule them first. Anyone have experience at this, and did you use a purchased tool? Excel? Something else? Please share.....

Same here, Excel will do it, or any spreadsheet software

I manage upwards of 400 projects yearly and have found (like others have stated)prioritizing based on certain criteria are easily managed through Excel

Hi, we have build a tool in access for the purpose.
The inputs are excel files, list of the projects (demands from different departments). The departments have to deliver the business case for the project.
The data is imported to an access database where rules are applied.
The output is an excel file with the projects listed by priority.
The organization delivers accordingly to the prioritized list.

MoSCoW method is useful for prioritized your projects and with Excel you can monitor it properly...

MosSCoW is good but you need to reduce as many "should have" and "could have" as possible. Also sometimes there is a thin line between the must have and should have so keep that in mind.

There is not about a tool. There is a about a prioritization method and prioritization criteira asociated to the method. In out case, we use MoSCoW method with our own prioritization criteria because criterias it is a strategic subject matter.
La priorisation de tes projets est fonction des objectifs que tu pourrais assigner à tes objectifs, de l'impact sur ta communauté (bénéficiaires) ou encore du budget que tu dispose.
Je ne pense pas qu'il y ait une application qui réponde à tes besoins.
Il faut toi même mettre en place un fichier Excel sur la base de ligne comme indicateur et un système de notation qui soit propre à ceux tu voudrais (Échelle de pondération).
De cette façon progressivement ton système pourrait te permettre selon la compréhension besoins et l'impact du moment te permette de sélectionner les projets éligibles.
Tu pourrais par ce système sélectionner tes projets.
Mais sache que pour le même fichier une autre personne pourrait ne pas avoir le même résultat.
Bonne chance!
