Abstract

This paper presents a literature review involving validation strategies used in scientific papers that propose project portfolio selection methods based on balanced scorecard and multicriteria models. The literature review includes a search in highly relevant international journals, which considered 21 articles published between 2000 and 2011 and 76 articles published between 2013 and 2017. Of this total, twelve articles were selected for in-depth analysis. Of these, only two reported using formal stakeholder inquiring as part of the validation procedure used to check methods feasibylity. Both validation procedure used by these articles have relevant caveats. The article discusses this situation and indicates alternatives that may be developed. Pratical use of methods proposed in the literature is one of the problems under discussion in the scientific community. To identify e develop a commom validation strategy may be an alternative to improve this aspect regarding portfolio selection methods.
