Multiple project management (Roads Projects)

October 26 - October 30 \ 2025 : Cairo 

 

Introduction

Welcome to the IACT training course on Multiple Project Management (Road Projects). This IACT program is specifically designed for professionals involved in planning, supervising, and delivering multiple road construction projects. Managing several projects at once requires strategic thinking, efficient resource allocation, and strong leadership.

Throughout this course, you will gain practical knowledge, tools, and techniques to effectively coordinate timelines, control budgets, manage risks, and ensure quality across all projects. Real-world examples and interactive discussions will help you apply best practices and improve your overall project management performance in the road

Course Methodology

The course uses self-assessments and a wide mix of business cases that promote healthy discussions around the importance of managing multiple tasks, deadlines and priorities. Participants will benefit from role plays covering workplace challenges related to handling tasks, deadlines and priorities. They will learn how to deal with conflicts that may arise as a result. Interactive team exercises are also used with each team presenting their findings and comments.  

Each module covers different aspects of using Game-Based Learning and Gamification in education. Coursework will incorporate your existing knowledge and experience and provide helpful learning environment with a good mix of theoretical and practical knowledge. On all outlines will apply Skills for Game-Based Learning and Gamification and practiced in hands-on, collaborative way within an international group setting.

Þ Feasibility assessment

Þ Conflict resolution in scheduling

DAY 2: Monitoring and Actions

Þ Classification of road.

Þ Monitoring of surface condition.

Þ Variables in road condition monitoring.

Þ Recognizing factors affecting road lifetime.

Þ Learn about procedures for pavement rehabilitation and recycling.

Case Study: Resource Allocation and Overlap

The Equipment Shortage Dilemma

A construction firm managing two adjacent road projects faces a shortage of key paving equipment. Trainees will develop strategies for optimal equipment allocation and propose contingency plans to maintain progress on both sites.

Þ Resource and equipment management

Þ Team coordination
