Abstract: Abstract The aim of this chapter is to present a simplified formulation of multi-objective resource-constrained project scheduling problem based on a goal programming model. Three objectives will be explained and formulated in the context of project management, namely: the project duration, the project cost, and the quantity of the allocated resources. These objectives are incommensurable and conflicting. The proposed model will provide the baseline schedule of the best compromise based on the project manager’s preference structure.
