 Course description  Decision-making is an essential component of the project management system, when it is necessary to solve the problem of planning, design, production, distribution and management of resources (labor, material, equipment) taking into account all constraints (technical, cost, time). Project managers rarely achieve success if you do not own or do not use methods to make informed decisions.
Under these conditions for making of project decisions, the role of qualitative methods (expert assessments, Delphi), as well as decision-making methods under uncertainty and risk, i.e. methods of game theory, Savage, Hurwitz and others.
