Selection of VFQ Consultant by Using Integrated Fuzzy AHP and Fuzzy TOPSIS

Abstract

As technology advances exponentially projects are becoming more complex than before with the increase of uncertainty of circumstances. Companies have been looking for new methods, approaches, and strategies since the industrial revolution. Companies must catch new developments, adapt quickly with high quality in order to survive. Hence, agility became an important issue and a competitive advantage. Even though agility starts from software development, it spreads to all other industries. Agile project management takes place in organizations and aims to create a fast response project environment since time is precious. There are lots of agile methodologies and each of them has a different framework, rules, and roles that are changed by the trend of a new methodology. Nowadays, one of the new agile methods is Value, Flow, Quality (VFQ) that is formed by Lean and Scrum methodologies. It is a work-based educational method and aims to create a mindset and proper adaptation of an agile methodology. In this paper, VFQ is examined with its philosophy and benefits. Among three job applicants for finding the most suitable VFQ consultant for a company, the integrated Fuzzy AHP and Fuzzy TOPSIS method is applied.
