Managing Multiple Projects and Competing Priorities

In most South African organisations the person running a project is running several at once, alongside a day job. This course helps delegates handle a portfolio of concurrent projects without dropping commitments or burning out. It covers prioritising across projects, sharing scarce resources, protecting personal focus and keeping many stakeholders informed at the same time.
