Organizations that are project driven are faced with the challenge of effective management of inter-dependent, varied priority, varied value, multi-players, shared-resources, short and long term, multiple-accountability, shared-authority, variable risk level and dynamic projects. Therefore, it is not enough to deliver single projects successfully. Leaders are focusing on the effectiveness of whole organizations, and the delivery of a web of changing and interacting projects to achieve the aims of their organizations. This call for a systematic approach for successful delivery of those projects: Management of Multiple Projects.
