Therefore, it is not enough to deliver single projects successfully. Leaders are focusing on the effectiveness of whole organizations, and the delivery of a web of changing and interacting projects to achieve the aims of their organizations. This call for a systematic approach for successful delivery of those projects: Management of Multiple Projects.

As a result of this course, attendees will be able to: Explain Multiple Project Management specifics and how it differs from the Traditional Project Management. Identify the benefits their organization will gain from implementing Multiple Project Management techniques. Obtain a systematic approach for implementing Multiple Project Management techniques at their organization. In addition, there will be a case study on implementing Enterprise Project Management at an organization. Since 1956, AACE International (the Association for the Advancement of Cost Engineering) has provided its members with the resources they need to enhance their performance and ensure continued growth and success. The CCC/CCE certification recognizes specialists who meet a demanding set of criteria by a rigorous examination, experience, education and ethical qualifications. The CCC/CCE requirements reflect the sophistication of individuals in today's earned value industry and it fairly measures their knowledge, experience and adherence to best management practices. CCC/CCE certification distinguishes cost and management professionals who have the knowledge and skills that impact the bottom line. AACEcertification ensures a high quality standard. The course covers the application of cost engineering and cost management principles, proven methodologies and the latest technology in support of the management process. Practical sessions will provide hands-on experience. Who should attend: This course is targeted for all business enterprises, construction, factories and all levels from chief executive officers, finance managers, human resources managers, project managers, site engineers, planners and cost control engineers, Chief Executive Officers, Finance Managers, Human Resources Managers, Planners, and Information Technology Managers.
