This session will introduce the special issues, pitfalls, skills and techniques of the multi-project environment. The challenge is to keep the stakeholders involved throughout the life of a project. Changes to the business and technology disrupt the project plan. Different decisions involve different sets of stakeholders. This talk examines how to involve the people who influence each issue, and understand and respond to their differing points of view.
