Overview
In today’s fast-paced environment, few project managers are fortunate enough to manage only one project at a time. In fact, it’s not uncommon to see project managers juggling as many as 10 projects simultaneously — with varying types of complexities, duration, and sizes. The ability to manage multiple related and unrelated projects and prioritize competing demands is crucial to the success of today’s multi-tasking project manager. Monitoring and controlling multiple projects present additional challenges.
