Focusing on the Start: Integration and Initiation according to the PMBOK® Guide

In this session, we dive into the first critical steps of any project. We explore the "Initiating" focus area and the integration processes within the "Governance Performance Domain" of the new PMBOK® Guide (8th Edition).

As PMI Germany Chapter, it is important to us to warmly welcome our new members to the chapter and inform them about current developments, exciting offers, and news from the world of project management. That is why we hold our monthly welcome hour for new members—a format for exchange, insights, and participation. At this event, our new members have the opportunity to ask questions about topics that interest them in connection with the PMI Germany Chapter community. The open dialogue in the early evening is moderated by Jörg Glunde, Vice President of Membership of PMI Germany Chapter e.V., possibly together with other volunteers from the PMI Germany Chapter.

Scope management is one of the three cornerstones of the magic triangle of project management and the foundation for time and cost management. The session will discuss the most important terms related to scope management, explain the structured approach recommended by the Project Management Institute, including some related tools, and highlight the special features of plan-driven and agile approaches.

The construction and infrastructure industry is facing increasing complexity, growing risk, and increasing demands on professional project management. With the new PMI-Construction Professional (PMI-CP) certification, the Project Management Institute is setting an international standard specifically for the challenges of construction projects.

At this event, all members of the PMI Germany Chapter have the opportunity to ask questions on topics that interest them in connection with the PMI Germany Chapter community. The open dialog in the early evening will be moderated by Joerg Glunde, Vice President Members of the PMI Germany Chapter e.V., possibly together with other volunteers of the PMI Germany Chapter.

Construction projects are under a lot of pressure—tight deadlines, complex stakeholders, and increasing demands for transparency and control. An effective Project Management Office (PMO) can be a decisive factor for success if it is understood not only as a reporting unit, but also as an active management and integration tool.

Unclear service definitions are among the most common causes of conflicts, addenda, and delays in construction projects. Scope management is therefore much more than a contract appendix—it is a key management tool for stability, transparency, and economic project success.
