What is multi-project management? <\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Multi-project management covers all projects<\/strong> of an organizational unit, whereby numerous projects are carried out simultaneously and with a common pool of resources. The main objective of multi-project management, or MPM for short, is to complete projects efficiently and in a targeted manner, taking into account the available resources such as employees, financial resources and equipment. Sometimes the term project portfolio management is also used.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Successful multi-project management requires a clear concept and appropriate coordination. Even individual projects can be potentially problematic. When organizations need to handle several projects simultaneously, targeted and effective multi-project management<\/strong> becomes essential.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
