Intel: Project Portfolio Planning at Intel Corporation

We address the problem of deciding between project funding opportunities under budget constraints. Projects interactions make selection difficult but senior managers have business intuitions that inform the decisions. We use modeling, simulation and optimization methods to find the best project portfolios including tools for decision makers to apply their insights in making the final selection. Interplay of analytics and intuition produces better solutions faster than was previously achieved.
