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 in GERMAN language!.

From Data to Decisions: How to Build Project Presentations that Inform and Influence

Project updates filled with dashboards and status metrics often overwhelm more than they inform. This session shows project management professionals how to turn complex data into clear, structured presentations that drive decisions and inspire trust. You'll learn practical techniques for structuring your message, selecting the right data, and designing slides that speak directly to what decision-makers need to know — all without needing to become a data expert. Whether you're presenting to a steering committee or updating your PMO, this session will help you craft presentations that inform, influence, and deliver impact.

Communication & Conflict – Handling Difficult Conversations with Confidence
Strong communication is at the heart of every successful project. In this 90-minute interactive session, we’ll dive into conflict resolution techniques every project manager should know — and bring them to life through Annie’s unique Bird Personas: the Mean Magpie, Avoidant Ostrich, Diligent Duck, and Effective Eagle, from her book, “The Courageous Sponsor”.

Discover how to spot different communication styles, defuse tension, and navigate challenging conversations with clarity and empathy. We'll also include a short, practical role play so you can experience how these strategies work in action.
Bring your curiosity — and maybe your inner bird!

CPI, OPA, EEF, COQ, WBS, SOW, roadmap, critical path, user stories... Latin? Not at all!
Technical terms like these are decisive parameters in all performance domains of the PMBOK. They can be found in processes and in the logic of project management, and not only there - technical terms are practical terms that provide a relevant basis for understanding.

In this study group workshop, we will dive into the technical terms of the PMI, discuss the particularly challenging candidates and put them into context - with guaranteed oha moments.

Our Quarterly Women in Projects online event features a presentation from Carolyn Brand on

Close the Gap: Brand Yourself for Recognition & Results

Uncover the power of personal branding to overcome hidden biases, be seen as capable, and claim your space.

Workshop Overview

This interactive session empowers women to strategically close the gaps that hinder professional growth — the visibility gap (why some get recognition and others don't) and the perceived capability gap (often internalized, especially among women, despite real expertise).

Using the proven 4P personal branding framework — Persona, Purpose, Positioning, and Presence — this workshop will guide participants in defining, expressing, and elevating their brand for greater recognition, confidence, and career momentum.

Core Learning Objectives

Reframe limiting narratives that fuel imposter syndrome or self-doubt, replacing them with a clear and authentic personal brand.
Develop strategies to increase visibility and influence in their organization or industry.
Walk away with applicable actions on how to start showing up, speaking up, and standing out with authenticity and confidence.

The 4P Personal Branding Framework

• P1 – Persona: Know Who You Are
• P2 – Purpose: Know What Drives You
• P3 – Positioning: Own Your Value
• P4 – Presence: Show Up Boldly

Key Takeaways

• A personal brand that reflects who you are and what you stand for
• Tools to increase your visibility and credibility in any space
• A reframed mindset around capability and impostor syndrome

Confidence to speak up, take space, and be recognized

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.

Processes: Scope management

The topic will be explained by the processes related to scope and surrounding knowledge areas or domains. As culture has a deep influence to deriving scope this topic will be included. After the session, the participants will know about the importance of scope and its interstices to surrounding domains. Participants will know how to get started and how to decompose to a sufficient level of detail. The students will be able to identify cultural influences to scope analysis and scope decomposition.
