Description
Managing multiple projects is about managing resources
in the face of constant change. We live in an environment
where projects are no longer simple, slow and certain but
are complex, quick and uncertain. This course must therefore
first help us prepare to respond to change; and second to
create work practices that allow us to manage change.
Whether your multiple projects are part of a large multi-million
dollar effort or small revamp projects at a manufacturing site,
the issues are the same and the systems you create to
respond to the challenges are the same. There are many
advanced technical tools available which we must use to stay
competitive. This does not mean ignoring the basic concepts
of good project management but to utilize technology that
will enable us to successfully manage complex projects with
multiple organizations with fewer resources than were
achievable in the past.
Finally, we will explore how best work practices for “Lean
Manufacturing” organizations can be used directly in project
management.
