A Game-Theoretical Model for Task Assignment in Project Management

Abstract

The assignment of tasks to employees is one of the most essential aspects of a project manager's job. A situation with employees working on tasks that they are not well-suited for can lead to a significant loss of time and resources in addition to a sub-par product or service. The simple difference between a good and bad task assignment for employees can easily result in major differences in a company's bottom line. We utilize techniques from game theory to produce an algorithm for matching employees and tasks based on manager and employee preference, employee time, and employee skills. As a result, we have created a deterministic algorithm for task assignment with built-in feedback mechanisms for measuring the health of the project group with respect to the work given.
