Calling all Rebel Project Managers!

How to stay in control of multiple projects

Published 2 months ago • 1 min read

Hello Reader,

Six projects. Competing deadlines. Stakeholders pulling in different directions. Sound familiar?
​
Managing multiple projects isn’t just about working harder. It’s about building systems that work for you. Without repeatable practices, even the most experienced project manager risks burnout, missed deadlines, and deliverables slipping through the cracks.
​
I'll be chatting live with Cornelius Fichtner to explore what’s new in the second edition of my book Managing Multiple Projects.

Add this time slot to your calendar: Wedneday 24 September, 6pm UK time (1pm EST).

No registration required, you can watch on LinkedIn Live, or YouTube.

I surveyed project managers across industries and reframed my proven framework to focus on Practices — the checklists, templates, and scalable systems that take pressure off individuals and make success sustainable.
​
Together, we’ll dig into the biggest challenges of multi-project environments, how to streamline documentation without losing control, why governance doesn’t have to feel like bureaucracy, and how to protect yourself from overload.
​
If you’re looking for practical strategies, action-ready tips, and the reassurance that you don’t have to “just be more resilient” to succeed, this session is for you.
​
Join us live, bring your questions, and walk away with practices you can put into action on your very next project.

Hope to see you there!

Elizabeth

Here are 3 things that I’m going to focus on next month, and I thought you might like to join me: 1. Hosting better meetings Recently I’ve had a few meetings with poor attendance and a couple where I took ages to get the minutes out. I know that’s bad practice, it’s just to do with having more priority things to do instead (for the...

If you hold a professional certification like the Project Management Professional, an APM qualification, or PRINCE2, you’ll also be expected to carry out some professional development each year as well.
