Projektratings

Projektratings, or project ratings, describe a systematic assessment method used to evaluate and compare project proposals or ongoing projects within organizations or funding programs.

They combine quantitative metrics with qualitative judgments to produce a rating or score that informs prioritization, budgeting, and resource allocation.

Common criteria include strategic alignment, expected impact, technical feasibility, cost and benefits, risk, schedule, and resource needs; environmental and social sustainability may also be considered.

Methodologies vary but often rely on scoring models with weights, normalization, and decision analysis approaches such as multicriteria decision analysis or risk-adjusted evaluations.

The process typically involves standardized rubrics, independent reviewers or evaluators, calibration sessions, and a governance body that approves prioritization decisions.

Applications are widespread, including corporate project portfolio management, public sector grant programs, and early-stage venture or research funding.

Criticisms include potential biases in scoring, overemphasis on easily measured metrics, data quality concerns, and the risk of favoring short-term gains over long-term strategic value.

Projektratings aim to complement qualitative assessments and strategic planning rather than replace them.
