It's not possible to say what the maximum number of projects a project manager should run at once before he or she becomes overloaded. However, it's certain that if the number is greater than, say, two or three, there is a risk of running into problems. Be clear, the more projects a project manager undertakes, the less efficient they become.
So in my job interview was I wrong? No, if a project manager devotes all of his or her time and effort to a single project then there's little risk of distractions or a loss of focus. However, this is not reality in our modern business environment where project managers have to manage multiple projects concurrently. So be careful not to become overloaded, otherwise, you could find you have problems that damage your reputation as a project manager.
thank you so much but I think also it is depend on the project manager experience and the number of team work and the relation of the project .it can be programme , portfolio or mega project
plan your tasks and operations efficiently before you take them on. do research on the projects and assess work load, time needed to conclude and number of work force needed to complete set given tasks. time management is key.
Thank you for the invitation. and information.
The project manager should use a good Project management software to ease the management tasks and keep the track of the progress of the project. Nowadays many types of PM software are available in the market so you can choose any one according to the nature of your project.
In order to ovoid project overload the project manager can recommend or notify overload to management in order to expand resources to distribute the overload to the qualifies people or either he say no to to more projects.
