PMI Germany Chapter e.V.

Structurally, we as a chapter are set up in such a way that primarily in the Local Groups member offers are provided in the form of events. For all chapter members living in the south, this means that they can participate in all online chapter events as before. In addition, the in-person events planned by the active Local Groups in the Southern Region will continue as normal.

On the initiative of Andrea De Ruiter, a group of volunteers is currently being formed who want to intensify chapter life in the greater Munich area. In perspective, we expect a chapter meeting comparable to those from the times of the Southern Germany Chapter in February 2023.

This year, the Pulse of the Profession Report investigated the relationship between power skills and project success.

Power skills are knowledge and abilities in the areas of communication, problem- and conflict-resolution, team leadership and strategy.

The PMI Germany Chapter is launching the PMP Study Brunch in 2023. This will be a great opportunity to learn about the new PMP exam pattern.

We will meet on regular basis twice a month. In doing so, we will address your questions. Difficult issues will become discussed respectfully in the community of the participants. Solicit other volunteers to help in your questions. 

The PMP Study Brunch will be a great opportunity to learn about the new PMP exam pattern. Experienced speaker will cover topics from the domains of PMP as per PMBOK 7. A few sessions will also cover simulator questions from the PMP exam.

We would like to inform you that our board member Dr. Werner Waldner has resigned from his position as VP Region South effective December 1, 2022 for personal reasons. We would like to thank Dr. Werner Waldner for his contributions to the Chapter and its members and are pleased that he will remain with us as a volunteer in the area of Social Responsibility Projects in the Region South.

In accordance with our bylaws, the VP Region South position will be posted for the next board election in March 2023. Until then, the Board will soon appoint interim Region South lead.

thing works without communication. You will not be able to lead your project successfully without communicating. So communication is important – also for an association like PMI Germany Chapter e. V. – you will find out why in a moment.

Dear Chapter members and project management interested friends,

the new Chapter Magazine of the 4. Quarter 2022 is now available for online download.

The topic of the current issue is:

Projects as the Key to overcoming Major Challenges

In response to increasingly tight schedules, we have created a new event format: Mini-Webinars.

What strategy does PMI want to pursue with the new CEO in the future? How can the chapters be better involved in strategy development and implementation? How can the cooperation between PMI global and the PMI chapters be optimized? What platforms are there to inform the chapters? These and many other questions were intensively discussed by the participants of the PMI Region 8 meeting from 28.10. to 30.10.2022 in Prague.

In version 7 of the PMBOK^® Guide, the process orientation (initiation, planning, execution, monitoring and control completion) for managing projects was completely removed and replaced by twelve principles of project management.

Through Hours for Impact, PMI supports the United Nations' 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

As a for-purpose organization, PMI is dedicated to enabling changemakers worldwide to elevate their positive impact on society. We believe that protecting our planet and improving the lives of people worldwide is essential for creating peace and prosperity. 

PMI members will receive a 10% discount for attending the Peter Drucker Forum in Vienna on Nov. 17-18, 2022 in Vienna.

Peter F. Drucker is considered one of the most important management thinkers of the 20th century. The Global Peter Drucker Forum is held annually in Vienna in his honor, and over time has become one of the most important events in the field of management.

PMI will be participating in the Forum this year, hosting a session on ESG (Environment, Social, Governance) and a session on Knowledge Workers and what makes them productive.
