Additional Information

Resource Allocation:

Here are some tangible tips for managing more than one project. ✓ Establish a project management office (PMO): They will communicate with stakeholders and clients and define and maintain the company’s project management standards. ✓ Avoid resource overlapping: Managing many projects requires many resources. Make sure to avoid resource overlaps as they can impact scheduling and budgets and jeopardize the project’s success. ✓ Find the critical path: The critical path is the shortest amount of time needed to complete the project as outlined by the essential tasks. This helps managers prioritize and balance resources across projects. ✓ Assemble the right team for each project: Each project is different and the team should reflect its unique needs. Assemble a team that can work together and has the right skills and experience to complete the project. ✓ Plan and communicate: Both planning and communication are key components of successful portfolio management. Make weekly plans and communicate with both the internal team and stakeholders. ✓ Review and adjust: Things happen and plans change. Make sure to regularly monitor and review progress and performance to make changes as needed. ✓ Delegate work: One person can’t possibly manage multiple projects without a supportive team. Accept help and delegate work accordingly. ✓ Stay organized: Post-it notes or static Excel sheets won’t cut it. Teams need updated dates and numbers in real time. Project portfolio management is part of a larger organization’s goals, and there may be projects that don’t fall into a specific portfolio. These projects still need to be accounted for when considering operational costs and resources which fall into organizational planning.
