Managing Multiple Projects
Course Description
Managing multiple projects that start and end at different times can be difficult. Projects often have to be prioritized and shoehorned into an annual budget with limited resources to manage the projects. An integrated approach is required to optimize the use of resources and predict resource requirements and expenditure accurately. This one-week programme will enable the delegates to manage unrelated projects that draw upon common resources and/or the variety of projects producing an integrated outcome blending common resources and dissimilar contributors.
The Training Course Will Highlight ?

Three principles of project integration are reviewed. They are:

  • The application of consistent project management methodology
  • The establishment of a 'project office'
  • The use of the correct tools for effective management of projects
  • An integrated approach is demonstrated using the Critical Path Method (CPM) and Earned Value Method (EVM) to accurately plan, schedule and track progress and costs against the planned budget across multiple projects.
  • Progress reporting can be tailor made for all levels of the organization using a single source of data to ensure all are working together towards the common goals.
Training Objective

To provide practicing project managers, program managers, technical leaders and owner/sponsors with skills and knowledge to successfully manage concurrent projects

Delegates will learn how to:

  • Determine the resource requirements for a number of concurrent projects
  • Control the annual investment budget for a number of projects so as to prevent a large over or under run at the end of the financial year
  • Manage the inter-project relationships

Target Audience

This programme is designed for all levels of project staff who must work in an environment where they manage multiple projects, as well as programme managers and supervisors who work with managers of both related and unrelated projects, and who compete for resources within or outside the performing organization. It would benefit anyone working on projects that require owner and provider project managers to work closely together, effectively utilizing participants who have concurrent project assignments, and integrating projects or sub-projects in diverse industries, with varied professional development processes. Delegates will gain confidence in the ability to plan, schedule and staff projects for high quality and performance in turbulent circumstances.
