A key goal of any engineering and software engineering in particular, is the quality of the final product. Software quality is often determined by the ability to meet the needs of customers and end users, as obtained as software requirements. To satisfy that needs is important a correct requirement engineering process in general, and a correct requirement prioritization in particular. Prioritizing software requirements is a complex decision making process. Traditional approaches do not perform aggregation of criteria with sufficient flexibility and adaptability to the specific contexts of organizations. In this paper we propose a requirements prioritization method that uses hierarchical aggregation process for information fusion. The proposal allows the inclusion of aspects such as the importance of the criteria and simultaneity. To demonstrate the applicability of the proposal a case study is developed. The paper ends with further work recommendations for extending the method.
