Model of distribution of the budget of the portfolio of it projects taking in-to account their priority

Article is devoted to a problem of effective distribution of the general budget of a portfolio between the IT projects which are its part taking into ac-count their priority. The designated problem is actual in view of low results of activity of the consulting companies in the sphere of information technologies. For determination of priority of IT projects the method of analytical networks developed by T. Saati is used. For the purpose of application of this method the system of criteria (indicators) reflecting influence of IT projects of a portfolio on the most signifi cant purposes of implementation of IT projects of a portfolio is developed. As system of criteria the key indicators of efficiency defi ned when developing the Balanced system of indicators which meet above-mentioned requirements are used. The essence of a method of analytical net-works consists in paired comparison of key indicators of effi ciency concerning the purpose of realization of a portfolio and IT projects which are a part of a portfolio. Result of use of a method of analytical networks are coefficients of priority of each IT project of a portfolio. The received coeffi cients of priority of IT projects are used in the offered model of distribution of the budget of a portfolio between IT projects. Thus, the budget of a portfolio of IT projects is distributed between them taking into account not only the income from implementation of each IT project, but also other criteria, important for the IT company, for example: the degree of com-pliance of the IT project to strategic objectives of the IT company defining ex pediency of implementation of the IT project; the term of implementation of the IT project determined by the customer. The developed model of distribu-tion of the budget of a portfolio between IT projects is approved on the exam-ple of distribution of the budget between IT projects of the portfolio consisting of three IT projects. Taking into account the received coefficients of priority of IT projects of a portfolio and the off ered model of distribution of the budget of a portfolio the admissible volume of costs of each IT project was redistributed. It allowed to distribute more correctly the budget allocated for realization of a portfolio, therefore, allowed to avoid unreasonable expenses at implementation of the IT project of a portfolio.
