41^st English PMI Round Table Frankfurt July 2025

PMI Round Table on Project Management topic

Topic: PMI Round Table on Project Management topic

29.07.2025 18:30 - 20:30

Dear PM enthusiasts, members of PMI and friends,

Greetings and here's the invite to the next English Round Table for the project management professionals living in and around the city of Frankfurt. With this event we intend to facilitate exchange between PMs, and we will talk about Project & Program Management related topic in the Organization.

This meeting will allow you to discuss on any of the project management related topic or questions in your project, program, organization, or your day-to-day activities. Our volunteer team from the PMI Germany Chapter will be available to facilitate the discussion.

Industrial organisations often struggle with managing complex, interdependent projects while ensuring smooth operations across multiple, often specialised teams and external stakeholders. This environment frequently results in bottlenecks, misalignment, and operational inefficiencies. Factors such as unclear roles, fragmented communication, and difficulties in coordinating intricate tasks only exacerbate these issues, which, in turn, lead to overloaded teams and projects that seem to go on forever.

Many teams have attempted to address these challenges multiple times, often without success, leaving them wary that any new approach might simply be another waste of time. Because of these repeated disappointments, they struggle to envision and practise alternative ways of working. That is why we have developed a practical, hands-on simulation—built on Businessmap—that goes beyond theory and gives participants the chance to learn by doing. By actively engaging with new methods in a controlled setting, participants gain a clearer understanding of why visualising the flow of work, coordinating across teams, and systematically improving processes can make a significant difference.
While this simulation does not provide instant solutions, it equips participants with the awareness and foundational insights needed to explore and apply these concepts in their own organisations. As an added benefit, it also introduces participants to Businessmap, demonstrating how this versatile platform supports a structured, visual approach to project and process management. Ultimately, the simulation bridges the gap between theory and real-world collaboration, helping industrial teams discover more effective ways of working.

This event is organized in cooperation betweenn the PMI Germany Chapter and xuviate.
Holders of PMI Certifications can claim 4 PDU.
