Measures of performance for the portfolio management

The paper aims to supply some synthetic measures for the assessment of a set of human resources simultaneously involved in a projects portfolio. In particular, on the base of an index obtained by means of the Earned Value Analysis (EVA) and expressing the resource performance on each project of the portfolio, the research offers some performance measures for the generic resource with relation to the entire projects portfolio. Different aggregations that permit to consider different decisional contexts, derived from the Ordered Weighted Averaging operator (OWA), are proposed with the aim to offer a global assessment of the resource. These measures make easier the understanding of the resources performance in the different projects and support the decision maker about the changes to be carried out to improve the performances of the projects. The tool will be implemented into the A.T.I.P.I.CO. platform, that constitutes the final objective of an industrial research project. Finally, the effectiveness of the aggregation operator is shown by means of a numerical example.
