Product Description

Product Description

All managers, whether brand new to their positions or well established in the corporate hierarchy, can use a little "brushing up" now and then. The skills-based Briefcase Books series is filled with ideas and strategies to help managers become more capable, efficient, effective, and valuable to their corporations. Today's workplace is often complex and unpredictable, yet most project management books address only the topic of managing individual projects and solving specific problems. Managing Multiple Projects presents a realistic method for developing the individual and group skills needed to cope with competing demands. It shows readers how to develop a reliable system for taking on multiple projects, work with others to allocate conflicting workloads, cope with the stress that comes from managing multiple projects, and more.


From the Back Cover

Proven Techniques for Keeping Simultaneous Projects On Course­­and Ensuring Their Successful Completion

As a manager today you must be a master juggler, responsible for keeping several balls in the air even as new balls are randomly tossed in from all sides. Managing Multiple Projects provides the organizational skills and management strategies you need to tackle multiple projects, roles, and responsibilities­­and get the results you want. Turn to this latest addition to McGraw-Hill's skills-based Briefcase Books series for hands-on techniques you can use to:

  • Develop a reliable, repeatable system for addressing competing demands
  • Work with others to effectively allocate workloads
  • Handle the emotional demands­­both for yourself and others­­of project overload

While numerous books have addressed specific project management issues, few­­until now­­have contained proactive strategies for consistently achieving multiple objectives. Managing Multiple Projects draws on skills from time management, task completion, organizational psychology, and more to provide a proven system for easily managing concurrent projects, and guiding each to its successful completion.

Briefcase Books, written specifically for today's busy manager, feature eye-catching icons, checklists, and sidebars to guide managers step-by-step through everyday workplace situations. Look for these innovative design features to help you navigate through each page:

  • Clear definitions of important terms, concepts, and jargon
  • Tips and tactics for facilitating multiple projects
  • Proven how-to hints for addressing specific situations
  • Practical advice for minimizing unexpected project errors
  • Warning signs that new activities and initiatives are going awry
  • Case studies of effective multiple project management in action
  • Procedures, techniques, and tactics for implementing this book's ideas

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent guide to a little-covered area, 26 Jun 2002
There are many guides to project management, but most assume a single, large project, with many separate steps and resources. This book considers a much more common scenario - where you need to do lots of unconnected things at the same time.
It's written in a friendly style, with a few simple exercises to help you out if you're in a crunch, and reviews of the key points at the end of each chapter. It also has little examples and case studies where you can see how the ideas work.
Overall, a very practical book for dealing with all aspects of project management, starting with organising yourself an your own time, and moving on to consider ways to better organise and manage your team.
Highly recommended!
