What Is Multi-Project Management?

Multi-project Management (also called Portfolio Management) is concerned with the selection, planning and monitoring of entire projects in companies and organizations. The goal of multi-project management is to secure investments through efficient application of personal, technical and financial resources as well as through the creation and utilization of synergies. Ideally, projects are evaluated and prioritized based on uniform and common criteria. Escalation levels may even include the abortion of a project. In medium-sized to large enterprises the multi-project management is managed centrally by the project management office in many cases. This way empirical values can be gathered efficiently and utilized for future selection, planning, controlling and monitoring measures. If you are looking for a multi-project management too, then in-STEP BLUE is the right choice.
