How to Manage Multiple Projects

[@ABB14-11]

This is so freaking useful. As an architect, student and freelancer you ACTUALLY gave tips that are more nuanced and not basic

[@Onlinepmcourses]

Thank you, Angel. It's great hearing that people value my material.

[@jocelyngomez6760]

Love this video! I appreciate you not beating around the bush and hard truths of reality.

[@Onlinepmcourses]

Thank you very much. I think too many commenters suggest that, 'if you just...' Managing multiple projects is hard and all we can do is apply strategies that boost or chances of success.

[@BrunoFerreira-no3in]

The best video I ever seen. Thanks for the tips.

[@Onlinepmcourses]

Wow! Thank you very much!

[@Theorist1984]

I always come back to watch this video every few months.

[@Onlinepmcourses]

I am glad it has helped you, Patrick. Good luck getting the PMO role you are after!

[@JarodThurley]

This is wonderful advice. I manage 5 projects at once, and yes being organised is key! Thank you for creating this video. I enjoy your valuable advice.

[@Onlinepmcourses]

Glad it was helpful, Jarod!

[@TheMickey1892]

This video is not only instructive with loads of practical information about managing multiple projects, but it is encouraging as well. Well done, and thanks for posting!

[@Onlinepmcourses]

It's my pleasure. Thank you.

[@thirst-t2653]

Totally agree to the point ..that schedule which has no float is abysmally risky and has too much stress...hv felt this practically ... And I really liked your approach to NO as Noble Objection ..... these some minutes were really a good pearl of wisdom..!!!!

[@Onlinepmcourses]

Thank you very much.

Multi tasking vs Mono Tasking Weae different hats to match the need of 1 project. Understand time cycle of different projects and take action Plan milestone and critical activities Command and intent idea (what we are trying to achieve) Build strategic plan to visualise the difference project at one place and see how critical/ milestone overlapping, can be shifted? Facilitate high vakue activities 1 problem solving 2 making key decision 3 engaging with key stakeholders 4 coaching mentoring to team members Focus on exception Produce leadership

[@tolevelup]

Amazing tips!

[@Onlinepmcourses]

Thank you.

[@mayalokya]

This is soo helpful!! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. May I ask if you could do a video on how to reach the key stakeholders, especially when you are dealing with resistant and neutral stakeholders all the time and so want to stepup, increase your visibility to network and manage the senior stakeholders within your multiple assignments/projects.

[@Onlinepmcourses]

Madhavi, thank you. I do have plans for more videos about stakeholder engagement - there are already several here. You will find plenty of articles and videos on stakeholders on my website. This link will force a search: onlinepmcourses.com/?s=stakeholder

[@mayalokya]

@@Onlinepmcourses thank you so much!! Mike..sure..Looking forward, for more videos from you.

[@arashdbet]

You are certainly one of the best teachers I have ever seen in my life, and I admire you, but please tell me, are you this good and confident in speech or you are actually reading the content on an screen in front of you like the news reporters in media ?

[@Onlinepmcourses]

Thank you. No, I don't use a teleprompter. I do have a sheet with some notes that I refer to from time to time, to see what I plan t speak about in the next section. Remember, before video-making and KZbin, I made my living doing live training, workshops and seminars, and platform speaking at conferences. I still do some of that, though it's been by Zoom/Teams/Webex for the last 2 years! When we can travel again, I am likely to be more selective about which events I take on, but I expect always to be doing some live events. There's nothing like the buzz of a good audience!

[@klomax7089]

Great information thank you! 👍🏽

Excellent video 👍

[@Onlinepmcourses]

Thank you.

[@chrismiles1485]

Very helpful video, thankyou Regarding strategic planning, which software would you recommend to build such a plan that can be presented as a gantt chart?

[@Onlinepmcourses]

Chris, unfortunately, I do not have enough experience of different tools to make a recommendation. And anyway, the right answer would depend on the details of your context and needs. But you may be interested in this article: onlinepmcourses.com/free-project-management-software-a-roundup-of-20-options-to-try/

[@chetanasin9150]

Thanks

[@Onlinepmcourses]

No problem

[@l_t_truth_seeker]

You're the best

[@Onlinepmcourses]

Thank you - that's the truth! :-)

[@BasicFilmmaker]

My credo to living life. What hat am I wearing right now? Wear it and do the actions. Next hat, and so on.

[@Onlinepmcourses]

Yes, I remember seeing you mention that in one of your videos - not sure if it was on your channel or in one of your courses. I thought: 'yes, that's my approach too'.

[@sawera1368]

[@Mr21Pat]

Refreshing reminder on how terrible we humans are at multitasking, but don't tell us that. Lol

[@Onlinepmcourses]

Oh, I do tell you that, Patrick. Pop over to my other channel and look at my video on the failure of multi-tasking and the multi-tasking myth! kzbin.info/www/bejne/f3axkJuGbsmnf68

[@sawera1368]

I have more than one talent I m writer singer makeup artist I m ok but not succeful now I m mother of three kids c9ng use should I forget my dreams

[@Onlinepmcourses]

Never forget your dreams. But sometimes it makes sense to pursue one (or maybe two) at a time. With kids, you probably can only find the time to focus on and therefore excel at one talent. Write, Sing, Make-up - pursue one with real focus and keep the others as low-key recreational activities.
