Fuzzy Method for Project Success Achievement

The aim of this study is to propose a new method to define weights for projects activities to achieve comprehensive and accurate progress that makes the managers make accurate decisions. Methods previously explored by researchers are not exhaustive and they cannot consider all of projects success criteria, and they are not preferable by all projects main elements, too. The proposed method uses the Fuzzy MCDM methods to define the relative criteria weights to attain activity weights by using all of project success variables as quantitative or qualitative ones. The vagueness of any criterion such as human habits and project types that are considerable in this method and more flexibility and comprehensiveness achieved in the method, indicate the preference of our method to the traditional ones. Empirical results show the viability of the proposed method.
