Abstract
To implement IT, business, educational, scientific, etc. projects, it is required to have a team of employees with specific competences. A very important aspect is also to guarantee the availability of these employees during the implementation of individual stages of the project. From the point of view of project management, it is crucial to provide an answer e.g. to the question: Do the competences of team members guarantee the completion of the project on time? If constraints related to the absence of team members, costs, limited working time, etc. are additionally considered, then the problem becomes non-trivial. The paper proposes a MILP (Mixed Integer Linear Programming) model for the configuration of project team members, which makes it possible to find answers to many questions related to project management in the context of the project team. The model can be used to make decisions both proactively and reactively. The implementation of the model using mathematical programming and the author’s procedure for reducing the size of the modeled problem were also presented.
