• This paper highlights the relevance of considering limited funds during the scheduling process of aproject portfolio. The currently existing algorithms for multi-project scheduling are normally limited toobtaining a feasible schedule in which time and resource constraints are met. The approach that wepropose in this paper goes one step further and allows the portfolio manager to choose what project (orprojects) are a priority for the company. To this aim, we propose a market-based mechanism thatdetermines what activities should receive preferential treatment during the scheduling process inaccordance with the funding limitations of the portfolio.
