Efficient allocation of human resources to the development tasks comprising a software project is a key challenge in software project management. To address this critical issue, a systematic human resource evaluation and selection approach can be proven helpful. In this paper, a fuzzy linguistic approach is introduced to evaluate the suitability of candidate human resources (software developers) considering their technical skills (i.e., provided skills) and the technical skills required to perform a software development task (i.e., task‐related skills). The proposed approach is based on qualitative evaluations which are derived in the form of fuzzy linguistic 2‐tuples from a group of decision makers (project managers). The approach applies a group/similarity degree‐based aggregation technique to obtain an objective aggregation of the ratings of task‐related skills and provided skills. To further analyse the suitability of …
