Prioritize

If you're working on a single project or a hundred, prioritization is a key skill that can tell the difference between a failed result. It will help you reach deadlines and allow you to focus on one task at a time so that you are less likely to have to complete multitasking.

Make your projects a priority by aligning with your corporate goals. The ones you should first be paying attention to are the ones that will bring the most benefit. Works that have tighter plans would, therefore, take priority over more flexible ones.

Delegate

Delegating tasks means more than simply cutting down on your workload. Assigning more accountability to your subordinates means you trust in their abilities to further contribute to the success of the project and are doing all you can to promote a positive work atmosphere.

Assure you have transparency, clarification, and accountability to delegate effectively. To get the job done right, the new task owner needs specific guidance and they do need to be mindful of the responsibility that comes with their new mission. Try to resist micromanaging because it not only undermines the whole aim of delegating assignments, it may also impede the progress of the project.

Track Progress

This applies to yourself as well as your team members. Tracking progress is a vital way of ensuring that you don't lose sight of your objectives and are on track to meet the goals of the project. Juggling multiple projects at once can get overwhelming and it can help minimize surprises by monitoring your workload regularly and ensuring that you abide by deadlines and specifications.

You are also responsible for the progress of your team members, in addition to your workload. Daily progress updates are a perfect way to make sure things are up to date and are running smoothly.

Manage Expectations

Running several projects at once means meeting many standards and having to respond to several people and living up to many expectations. Be vigilant when setting deadlines and goals to promote the job. Build faith and form relationships with the powers-that-be so that when it comes to making critical project decisions you can exercise as much control as possible. Projects never occur without complications so be frank when things don't go well. If those requirements can not be met or changes are required, let the company, client, and/or stakeholders know as soon as possible. This will help to rectify problems quickly and ensure that you maintain the trust you have built up with them.

Use the Right Tools

Being prepared from the start will give you a greater chance to succeed, and only that can be achieved by using the right tools to handle your tasks and projects. Who defines the "right devices" may depend upon the design of the programs, the teams involved and the resources involved.

Use a project management tool. If you're going to handle several tasks at once, you 're going to want a platform that is capable of keeping all your data and flexible enough to allow you to move from one task to the next.

Bear in mind, when choosing your tools, the time and costs associated with their implementation. Looking for a cheaper tool can cost less in advance, but it will cost you more in the long run if the proper implementation is more complicated and time-consuming than one that costs twice the cost.
