A goal programming approach for agile-based software development resource allocation

In the current proposal, three objectives have defined which need to be considered while solving the resource allocation problem in ASD. This multi objective has then been solved using Goal Programming approach. The three approaches to solving a Goal Programming Problem i.e. the Weighted Approach (or the Archimedean Goal Programming), the Preemptive Approach (or the Lexicographic Approach) and the Chebyshev Approach (or the Min-Max Goal Programming) have been discussed to cater to the problem thoroughly. Furthermore, the three objectives have been handled singularly as well, i.e. as a single objective problem. The proposed optimization models have been validated on an agile-based software development dataset. Sensitivity analysis has been performed to gauge the impact of the variables involved.
