CMI Recognized Managing Multiple Tasks, Priorities and Deadlines

When several projects, requests and deadlines compete for the same limited time, professionals risk missing commitments or working on what is urgent rather than what matters. This course gives practical methods to stay in control: capturing all commitments in one system, prioritizing with the Eisenhower matrix and impact-effort analysis, estimating effort realistically, planning with weekly reviews and time blocking, managing dependencies across tasks, renegotiating deadlines early, and protecting focus from interruptions. Participants apply the methods to their real workload and agree on communication routines with managers and colleagues.
