The Savvy Project Manager: Dealing with Multi-Tasking

JohannaRothman

Multi-tasking, whether it's the PM's multi-tasking or the project staff, or both--is a huge drain on projects. In my experience, multi-tasking can prevent an otherwise reasonably planned and executed project from completing. But in the face of too few people and not enough time, what can you do?

In this session, we'll experience some multi-tasking, and discuss and practice techniques to deal with senior management, the project team, and ourselves.

Learning objectives:

• recognizing individual multi-tasking and choosing when to take action
• recognizing your multi-tasking
• techniques to discuss the problems of multi-tasking with senior management
• organizing the work in the face of too much to do, not enough time, and too few people.
