  • In general, software project development is often to work within the restrictions of resource limitations.When a software project is running late, the project manager is under pressure to assess the impact of delays on the overall project duration. Basing on the time-cost trade-off approach, the problem can be alleviated by the replacement/substitution of other suitable resources that are in greater supply. This paper introduces a human resource substitution method based on Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) which is a popular decision-making model for tackling multiplecriteria problems. The proposed method can be regarded as a factor weighting approach providing a formal weighting mechanism to achieve a higher level of consistency. It will help the project manager to achieve a better replacement of the human resource and increase the chance to get a successful result. Finally, the approach is illustrated by the use of an example.
