Organizational Process Action and Development Project Lines

Abstract

Priyanka Garg*

Most of the time, multi-project management is thought of as an intra-organizational process for putting strategies into action through project lines, portfolios, or programs that change and develop. Inter-organizational multi-project management occurs between project-based businesses and other project network participants. Multi-project aspects significantly increase management complexity in inter-organizational contexts, but their specific requirements are poorly understood. This article examines the nature and requirements of project-based businesses' inter-organizational multi-project management. Parallel and sequential inter-organizational multi-project settings are proposed as an extension of the prevalent intraorganizational research. A thematic framework is built using theories about stakeholders and agencies, prior research on portfolio and program management, and an inductive analysis of the existing literature.
