Course description
Project managers juggle many projects simultaneously in today’s fast-paced environment. Managing multiple projects and prioritizing competing demands requires effective delegation and strategies for monitoring and controlling.
Handling several projects at once means more than dealing with just multiple schedules; it involves multiple risks, multiple stakeholders, and multiple functional managers who allocate resources. The key to managing multiple projects expertly is to recognize priorities and delegate wisely – not an easy feat in today’s complex environment.

You will also learn to multitask, plan and schedule projects, analyze schedules, and more through hands-on, project-based exercises.
