The research is aimed at practical application of the ELECTRE I method for decision-making support in the selection of projects by a free software development company in the city of Juazeiro - BA. The methodology used in the company, the projects to be evaluated, the criteria chosen by the decision maker and their respective weights were used to model the problem, by building decision matrix and conducting ELECTRE I. The results proved effective, satisfying the proposal made in the research. Finally, the conclusions are presented, provoking a discussion of the current method and the proposed method, suggesting the application of the ELECTRE I method and other MCDA methods for other decision-making problems at the company.
