In the product development of manufacturing companies, an increasing trend can be observed over the last few years that the number of projects is on the rise. The complexity of the project landscape likewise continues to increase due to the number of and interdependency between projects. If more and more activities of a company are carried out in the form of projects and these projects become more and more complex, a successful multi-project management becomes crucial for companies. For this reason, the objective of this paper is to analyze scientific literature as well as reports and studies from practice in order to derive success factors and fields of action for multi-project management.
