Decision support system to project software management

This paper presents a Decision Support System (DSS) to project software management that uses a hybrid methodology. This is based on a combination of linear programming method, for assignment of tasks, and the task management method, Scrum. This proposal aids in management and optimization of the time of completion of the project or sprint without removing the inherent flexibility of agile methodologies. A support tool was developed to assist in the applicability of DSS. It is concluded that the DSS proposed can assign tasks to minimize the total execution time of the sprint and it assists the managers in assessing developers, since it will be possible to determine whether they are meeting the deadlines within established goals for their level of seniority.
