The paper considers the development of a method of forming and evaluating the priority of investment strategies aimed at creating technological (production) objects. A formalized approach to the formation and ranking 
 of investment projects is presented: the statement of the investment problem is formalized; a formalized analytical expression of the investment project is given. Possible factors and components of investment as components of an investment project are considered. Factors and criteria for evaluating the projects, ranking options, the role of the investor, a regulatory body and a decision maker in the formation of the project evaluation are considered. The role and directions of forming the components of the descriptive factor, financial and non-financial restrictions are shown. Methods of developing and ranking strategies for investing in technical and technological projects have been developed and presented in the form of a flowchart and of analytical constructions. Formalization of the processes of development and evaluation of investment projects will provide a systematic approach to the investment design, create the conditions for algorithmization and automation of priority investment strategies formation and selection.
