	Decision-making is at the core of project management and yet it can be a daunting task, especially when the projects are complex and multi-facted projects. The pressure of making decisions in a timely and informed manner can be compounded when the criteria for success is not defined clearly, At time like this it not unusual that project managers may feel overwhelmed and unable to determine the most important factors to consider. This is where the ~~APH~~-decision-making method provides a systematic approach to this challenge. This approach is addressing the complexity of decision making by Segmenting the process into manageable chunks. By following these steps the project manager can get a obtain a holistic view of the project's key performance indicators and success factors.

	A project manager in the current day is faced with a dynamic environment, where making the right choices based on fitting objective is a crucial factor for weather a organization is profitable or not. Simply completing a project and hope for the best outcome is no longer enough, as the projects are more complex with more risks and dynamic challenges this means that there is a higher demand for a strategic approach.

	In order to accomplish this, organizations are using more resources in portfolio management which helps them structurize the projects so they are in alignment with the organizations strategic goals. One of the main part of portfolio management is cost-benefit, where projects with high benefits is given higher priority. The analysis takes into account the benefits of completing a project as well as the cost, as projects become more complex the cost-benefit analysis becomes as complex and hectic.

	In project sellection the AHP method can be used in various of ways such as financial return, strategic alignment, resource avaliblility, risk. As the projects become more complicated so does the project selection process, companies uses a lot of resources and money on projects that at the end does not fulfill the customers needs and demands. The ~~APH~~ metod can solve this dellemma by improving the process of developing project proposals, and it could also remove some of the biasis that managers have. The weakness in project selection using AHP is that if some criterias are ignored, it will give some bad results, The AHP cannot fortune tell so it is exepcted to give all the criterias at the beginning of the selection process and as all other processes a powerfull member can promote their project and introduce more bias in the project selesction.<ref name="Evaluating projects"> Palcic, I.; Lalic, B.
