Description
This 90-minute accredited online course is designed to provide an introduction to the basic principles of managing multiple projects. 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.
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.
While there are many new IT tools available which we can use to stay competitive, we cannot ignore the basic concepts of good project
management. Only by understanding basic project management techniques will we be able to apply new IT solutions to enable improved project
success with fewer resources. In addition, we will relate “Lean” manufacturing techniques that can be used in project management.
