What Is Multi-Project Management?
What Information Do You Need?
In many organizations multi project management is a part of daily business. But how can you know who needs specific information at specific times? How would you like to organize the various projects and coordinate the interplay between them?
Multi-project management is more than resource management and allocation; it defines real-time access to information, to documents, to results, to key figures and to process models.

Or with templates that make work easier. in-STEP BLUE is therefore not only a tool for management, it is also a tool for all project staff.
