An Intensive 5-day Training Course
Managing Multiple Projects
Organising Resources and Streamlining Multiple Projects Successfully
INTRODUCTION
Mature organizations must manage a portfolio of projects simultaneously. The complexity begins with selecting and prioritizing the right mix of projects that translate strategic objectives into practical outcomes. Success relies on integrating these projects into a consolidated master plan that encompasses schedules, resources, costs, and risks, ensuring that strategies deliver measurable results.
A key principle in this context is “You cannot control what you cannot measure.” For this reason, project professionals need to establish robust control systems that monitor performance, measure variances, and take corrective or preventive actions. Managing multiple projects also demands strong governance structures, accurate reporting through dashboards and KPIs, and consistent alignment with organizational goals.
Equally important, multitasking presents its own challenges. Teams working across multiple initiatives face divided attention, resource conflicts, and performance pressures. Effective management of this environment requires structured coordination, governance, and leadership that balances workload while motivating people to excel.
Key highlights of this Multiple Projects Management Course include:
- Selecting, prioritizing, and balancing project portfolios.
- Developing integrated master plans and schedules.
- Monitoring and controlling projects with dashboards and KPIs.
- Applying governance frameworks to ensure benefits realization.
- Mastering team performance in multitasking environments.
