Priority & weighting model
The priority criteria and weights, and the project weighting model.
Criteria weights total
100 / 100
Project weight = Σ (criterion weight × the project’s rating out of 5) ÷ 5. Relative weight in a portfolio = the project’s weight ÷ the weights of its projects that count.
Project weight criteria
Each project’s 1–5 rating is read from its record; the weights set each criterion’s pull
