ABSTRACT

The analytic network process (ANP) is considered one of the most powerful tools to facilitate decision-making in complex environments. The ANP allows decision makers to structure their problems mathematically using individual judgments. Researches suggest that ANP can be useful in software development, where complicated decisions happen routinely. This paper explains the ranking of extreme programming (XP) estimation methods using the analytic network process. A case study that were conducted in an academic environment is presented in this paper. The results of the case study show the benefits of applying the ANP in XP development cycle.
