Projects have assumed and continue to assume a key role in the activities associated with the changes that business ventures undergo. With increasing acceleration and change in the demands of the marketplace and in the internal processes devised to address them, it is becoming ever more difficult to bring about successful development of business ventures.
Research relating to multi-project management at HSW deals with holistic management and controlling of the project landscape. Successful management of a multiplicity of projects is a challenge today for major companies and SMEs alike.
If you are interested in becoming a cooperating partner and implementing innovative projects, then please feel free to contact Prof. Timm Eichenberg of the Multi-Project Management research unit.

In this context the following topics in particular are explored:
The introduction of multi-project management in the SME sector
The use of agile methods in multi-project management
