About the Book

Presents the full strategy and detailed tactics to transform any multi-project environment, and outlines the 10 essential steps needed to create valid project networks and task estimates in a multi-project environment. Even in a well-managed multi-project environment, it is not unusual to see half of all projects completed either late, over budget or with cuts to original scope. However, the proven approach presented in "Advanced Multi-Project Management" has enabled large, medium, and even small organizations to consistently complete their projects faster, within original scope and budget, and increase the number of projects executed with the same resources by as much as 70 per cent. The list of companies that have used this methodology for stunning results includes some of the biggest, well-known names in the world - Boeing, Rio Tinto, ABB, and Chrysler.

Review :
"Advanced Multi-Project Management provides the road map to successful multi-project management, seamlessly melding distilled executive level summaries and step-by-step implementation details for maximum understanding. It is a masterwork on several levels." -Glenn Fegely, President, Ellwood National Forge; "Projects are the means by which many organizations achieve their strategies and goals, and when projects aren't flowing, the organization stagnates. Kendall and Austin identify six areas of focus that will enable projects to flow more freely and deliver their promised results." -Denise Hart, CIO, Envision EMI; "Finally, a book on project management that can be used for graduate study and that looks at the real-world, practical issues surrounding complex multi-project environments. This is fresh material that is long overdue in our project-driven business world." -Dr. Gordon E. Whitehead, Professor of Business, Utah Valley University; "Often times we address the symptoms rather than the root cause. Advanced Multi-Project Management forces us to solve the real issues and provides step-by-step processes to improve project effectiveness and efficiency." -Shane Short, Vice President and General Manager, Royal Mouldings
