The simulation is designed for professionals juggling 50+ concurrent projects - especially in industrial and manufacturing environments, but equally valuable for any complex knowledge work setting.

Many industrial companies face the challenge of coordinating numerous projects in parallel across departments and external partners. This often leads to bottlenecks, a lack of transparency and operational overhead - exacerbated by unclear roles, fragmented communication and complex processes.

Our value stream multi-project Kanban simulation offers you a practical, risk-free experience in four hours in a realistically simulated industrial project portfolio. You will experience visualization, coordination and systematic experimentation - without interfering with existing processes.

Risk management in the PMP framework, as outlined in the PMBOK Guide, involves identifying, analyzing, and responding to project risks to minimize their impact. 

Laura Lazzerini Neuwirth and Yasmina Khelifi will address how to bring more women into project management by drawing on research and own personal experience and also share key strategies to break the glass ceiling.  

Liebe Kolleginnen und Kollegen,
wir laden Sie herzlich zu unserer Veranstaltung „PRINCE2 & PMBOK: Maßgeschneiderte Projektsteuerung für Ihren Erfolg“ bei M-Net ein! Erfahren Sie, warum PRINCE2 in der Organisation und Lenkung von Projekten führend ist, wie PMBOK effektiv in Teilprojektstreams integriert werden kann und warum beide Ansätze an Projektgröße und Unternehmensstruktur angepasst werden müssen.

This event will be held in German Language

The journey continues, the Böblingen regulars' table meets again.

✴️ The biggest problem with project effort estimation isn't human error. It's the lack of a consistent, objective model that can handle complexity and customized projects.

?‍♂️ The solution? A neural network model for effort estimation. It involves training an artificial intelligence with historical project data to predict future effort with greater accuracy.

We are very happy to have Burcu Şengüneş with us at our Local Group event in October. We are looking forward to seeing you there too!

Interested? Be there and don't miss it!
