In this course, you will learn techniques for establishing priorities, identifying risks
generated by the multi- project environment, sharing resources and managing
your energies as a manager effectively. Managing multiple projects is as much an
art as it is a science. Handling multiple projects means more than just dealing with
multiple schedules; it involves multiple risks, stakeholders and budgets. To expertly
manage multiple projects, you need to recognize priorities and delegate wisely not
an easy feat in todays complex environment. To do that successfully, you need an
extensive understanding of how risk, human resources, schedules and costs must
be integrated.
Who should attend?
Project and program managers seeking to more effectively manage multiple
projects. Those seeking key tools within the conventional project management tool
kit to optimize their ability to manage more than one effort at a time. Those working
toward identifying and creating their OWN tools, templates and protocols to serve
the projects, the project office and the organization. Anyone wrestling with the ageold quandary of which project comes first?
