Project management is changing. Rather than focusing solely on one
large project, the majority of project managers are now expected to
juggle multiple projects, which brings a different set of challenges.
Between a greater number of project sponsors, resource conflicts and
constant pressure from deadlines, it can be difficult to avoid burnout.
Managing Multiple Projects blends formal project management
techniques with time management and productivity tools in a step-by-step
approach to consolidating your workload. From combining schedules to
prioritising work and engaging stakeholders, this book clearly explains
how to adapt your behaviour and techniques to successfully work on
several projects at once.
This practical guide provides answers to commonly asked questions (such
as how to reduce the number of meetings and how to manage a To Do list)
and includes case studies from real project managers. Checklists for
common tasks and adaptable templates of trackers and reports are
combined with easily actioned exercises to improve processes.
Managing Multiple Projects gives practitioners the tools they need
to improve the chances of project success and maintain a work-life
balance. Online resources include downloadable templates of
productivity checklists and status reports.
