Enhancing requirements prioritization based on a hybrid technique

There are several requirements prioritization (RP) techniques in software development systems. RP problem is mainly a type of multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) problems. However, selecting an appropriate RP method in a certain situation must subject to a number of evaluation criteria and performance measures. This includes scalability, uncertainty, time consumption and complexity. In this paper, a hybrid-based RP method is proposed. The proposed method is based on a hybrid combination of both of cumulative voting and decision-weighted matrix techniques. The results of an illustrative multiple goals example ensures clarity, simplicity and efficacy of the proposed method.
