Abstract:
The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) has been applied in many fields and especially to complex engineering problems and applications. AHP is capable of structuring decision problems and finding mathematically determined judgments built on knowledge and experience. This suggests that AHP should prove useful in agile software development, where complex decisions occur routinely. This paper provides a ranking approach to help stakeholders select the best prioritization technique for prioritizing the user stories. A case study demonstrated the effectiveness of this approach.
