Horizontal project scoring versus vertical prioritization (the zero-sum game). Traditional "project scoring" systems we see look like this... a list of projects in a spreadsheet scored against some sort of measurement criteria. Sometimes the criteria is weighted by importance. Each row (project) is scored against the weighted criteria. The rows are totaled and each project gets a score. Some have called this "horizontal scoring."

Sometimes the criteria is weighted by importance. The "weighting of criteria" approach does provide some degree of influence over the project scoring results, but it fails to capture the proportional relationships between criteria or what we like to call "Objectives."

The constraint change doesn't work when data is filtered. It works though when unfiltered, then select several rows of data, but it is a bit inconvenient to do that rather than filter."
Read MoreI want to create a top-level model, then copy those objectives to other models (sheets) within the same file. The other models may have additional objectives as well as the "main" objectives.

Read MoreWe’ll focus on the modeling functions of decisionAccelerator in this screencast. decisionAccelerator is a decision modeling methodology and tool that enables groups to reach agreement faster and more effectively. It is based on Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and is implemented by lateralworks as an add-in to Microsoft Excel, a ubiquitous engine that many already use for various business applications. This choice reduces the learning curve and the need for expensive software.
