How to prioritize and select projects
TransparentChoice Software Tutorial
![Page 2: How to prioritize and select projects with TransparentChoice software](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042818/55ad02d31a28ab46718b47e9/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
From this presentation you will learn how to use TransparentChoice software to prioritize projects. See sample results below…
![Page 3: How to prioritize and select projects with TransparentChoice software](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042818/55ad02d31a28ab46718b47e9/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
The first thing you need to do is to create a project. In order to do that you need to be logged in. If you don’t have an account yet – you can create it here.
Project prioritization process
1. Create a project.
2. Add projects.
3. Define criteria.
4. Evaluate.
5. Display results.

Now it is time to add projects as “Alternatives”. “Alternatives” are things that will be evaluated in your decision project e.g. vendors, technologies, projects or candidates. So in this project Alternative = Project There are 3 ways to add alternatives (projects): • Manual one-by-one. • Collect online – publish a form and
invite other people to submit proposals.
• Import – from text or a spreadsheet file.

This option allows you to publish a web-form with
which people in your organization can nominate
projects. It will be explained in another tutorial.
![Page 9: How to prioritize and select projects with TransparentChoice software](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042818/55ad02d31a28ab46718b47e9/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
In this tutorial we will show you how to import
projects…
![Page 10: How to prioritize and select projects with TransparentChoice software](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042818/55ad02d31a28ab46718b47e9/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
You may use “Quick” import and simply paste the list of projects
(each in a new line).
![Page 11: How to prioritize and select projects with TransparentChoice software](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042818/55ad02d31a28ab46718b47e9/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
or import vendors from a spreadsheet file.
![Page 12: How to prioritize and select projects with TransparentChoice software](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042818/55ad02d31a28ab46718b47e9/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
This is a spreadsheet that we will use.
![Page 13: How to prioritize and select projects with TransparentChoice software](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042818/55ad02d31a28ab46718b47e9/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Requirements for the spreadsheet
• The file must be saved in xlsx or xls format.
• Data for the import must be in the first sheet.
• The first row must contain headers (names of imported attributes).
• Headers must be unique.
• One of the columns must be populated with alternatives’ names. Other columns are optional.
• Names of alternatives must be unique.
![Page 14: How to prioritize and select projects with TransparentChoice software](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042818/55ad02d31a28ab46718b47e9/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
The first column contains the names of projects. “Name” is the
only column (attribute) that is required for the import.
![Page 15: How to prioritize and select projects with TransparentChoice software](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042818/55ad02d31a28ab46718b47e9/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Name (required) and Description (optional) are default attributes for each alternative (project) you're importing. You can add other attributes (a fancy name for any data you want to attach to a alternative you're evaluating) such as cost, risk, etc.
![Page 16: How to prioritize and select projects with TransparentChoice software](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042818/55ad02d31a28ab46718b47e9/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Click here and upload your file…
![Page 17: How to prioritize and select projects with TransparentChoice software](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042818/55ad02d31a28ab46718b47e9/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
“Cost” is not a default attribute so if you want
to import it, you need to create a new attribute…
![Page 18: How to prioritize and select projects with TransparentChoice software](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042818/55ad02d31a28ab46718b47e9/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Leave the default settings. “Attributes” will be explained
in another tutorial…

Click “Import” to confirm.
![Page 21: How to prioritize and select projects with TransparentChoice software](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042818/55ad02d31a28ab46718b47e9/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Projects are added as “Alternatives”.
![Page 22: How to prioritize and select projects with TransparentChoice software](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042818/55ad02d31a28ab46718b47e9/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
If you want to edit a project…
![Page 23: How to prioritize and select projects with TransparentChoice software](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042818/55ad02d31a28ab46718b47e9/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

Defining criteria is about: • Building the hierarchy of criteria. • Setting the measurement option
for each criterion. There are 3 measurement options: • Pairwise comparisons (default). • Custom scale – define your own
scale for a criterion. • Attribute – use imported data for
the evaluation.

Go to “Criteria” tab…
![Page 26: How to prioritize and select projects with TransparentChoice software](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042818/55ad02d31a28ab46718b47e9/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Prioritize projects
Profitability Risk
Technology risk
Organizational risk
Strategy alignment
Stakeholders perspective
This is the criteria hierarchy that we will use
for the evaluation…
Bottom-level criteria You will use these criteria to directly "measure" the alternatives (projects). You will typically use a scale or attributes to do this.
Upper-level criteria These criteria are made up of sub-criteria. You will typically use pairwise comparison to work out the relative importance of the sub-criteria
![Page 27: How to prioritize and select projects with TransparentChoice software](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042818/55ad02d31a28ab46718b47e9/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

Please notice the difference between upper and bottom-
level criteria.
Bottom-level criteria You will use these criteria to directly "measure" the alternatives (projects). You will typically use a scale or attributes to do this.
Upper-level criteria These criteria are made up of sub-criteria. You will typically use pairwise comparison to work out the relative importance of the sub-criteria

Click here to add criteria…
![Page 29: How to prioritize and select projects with TransparentChoice software](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042818/55ad02d31a28ab46718b47e9/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
By default, criteria have “Pair-wise comparisons” assigned. We will leave
this for upper-level criteria (sub-criteria will be prioritized with pair-
wise comparisons).
![Page 30: How to prioritize and select projects with TransparentChoice software](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042818/55ad02d31a28ab46718b47e9/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Click “edit” to change the measurement
option…
![Page 31: How to prioritize and select projects with TransparentChoice software](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042818/55ad02d31a28ab46718b47e9/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
This is where you can change it…

We switch to “scale” for all bottom-level criteria (projects will be scored
with scales).
![Page 33: How to prioritize and select projects with TransparentChoice software](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042818/55ad02d31a28ab46718b47e9/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
The goal of evaluation step is to: - establish the relative importance
of criteria, - score projects in the context of
bottom-level criteria. You do this by filling auto-generated (based on criteria settings) survey. If you evaluate with your team you need to: - collect surveys from all members, - build a consensus.

Software generates a survey for each evaluator (member
of your team).
![Page 35: How to prioritize and select projects with TransparentChoice software](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042818/55ad02d31a28ab46718b47e9/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
The list of surveys will show up here. If you're working on your own, you don't need to
add any more evaluators.
![Page 36: How to prioritize and select projects with TransparentChoice software](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042818/55ad02d31a28ab46718b47e9/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Here you define the type of the judgments in survey.

• This is the score / cost chart. • The bigger circle, the greater
value for money. • You need to import “cost” as
an “attribute” to display this chart.
• You can use it to select portfolio…
