Abstract: Project portfolios are complex and unique systems. Projects within the portfolio share the same resources to achieve the set objectives. Monitoring and controlling the progress of these projects requires implementing and understanding techniques such as risk analysis or decision support. In a complex and uncertain world, decision-making is a critical process that can cause uncontrollable and unanticipated disruptions. It is necessary to predict the consequences of and identify the effects of changes within the internal and external environment. However, the uniqueness of project portfolios poses a challenge for prediction because it cannot be based solely on historical data. This research presents a management tool based on decision support techniques and defined rules of behavior that a project portfolio could have. These rules are generic and adaptable and the goal is that managers can use and adapt these. These rules are defined using the Physics of Decision (PoD) vision and the adaptation of this vision using first-order logic. example of its use. approach allows us to present a solid basis for creating a decision support system by being generic to the field of project management but leaving the possibility of adapting the functioning of this tool.
