INTEGRAL COLLABORATIVE DECISION MODEL IN ORDER TO SUPPORT PROJECT DEFINITION PHASE MANAGEMENT

The Project Definition phase is one of the most important phases in the New Product and Process Development. This is also a collaborative decision making phase. The existing project management methodology and tools do not permit adequate management of this phase. In this paper, we develop an integral collaborative decision-making model. The goal of this conceptual model is to identify the intrinsic elements for successful decision-making. This model was used to support the collaborative decision-making of the project team, but also to structure and manage Project Definition phase. This second part is realised through the development of the project management tool applied in the Project Definition phase in PSA Peugeot Citroen.
