Abstract
This paper presents an optimization based approach to support staffing a software project. The approach takes into account the characteristics of the project activities, the characteristics of the available human resources, and constraints established by the software development organization in charge of the project. According to these needs, the project manager selects a utility function to be maximized or minimized by the optimizer. We propose several utility functions, each addressing specific values which can be sought by the development organization.
