Processes: Project life cycle, development approaches and business environment

One of the most fundamental topics in project management is choosing the best methodology for an upcoming project. A lot of other decisions in the course of the project are based on this decision. Since this topic is so important, there are also quite a few questions about it in the PMP exam. At the same time, many project managers only have experience with a certain type of project, and need to get to know the whole range of possibilities with their advantages and disadvantages in order to be able to make a carefully considered decision and give the "best" answer in the exam.​

This event will be held in German language!

Following the great success of the first webinar in November 2024 on the introduction of Kanban in the BASF Tamol Cluster, we are now pleased to offer a continuation in German with completely new insights.

Michael Pölker and Sven Sebastian, responsible for project and asset management in the Tamol Cluster, report on the consistent further development of the initiative: from the plant change process to the embedding of the new working model in the entire department. The focus is on the concrete results, which include both measurable improvements and genuine cultural changes.

In addition to many practical examples, there will be an insight into daily work with the Kanban system based on the Businessmap software platform. Particularly exciting: how the initiative is naturally aligned with BASF's "Winning Behaviours", which are currently regarded throughout the company as a guideline for successful collaboration and leadership.

A must-read for anyone who wants to make project work and all production processes in industrial organisations effective and future-oriented.

The event is organised in cooperation between the PMI Germany Chapter and Xuviate. PMI certificate holders can claim 1 PDU!

People: Developing leadership roles and teams 

Projects are carried out by teams that often come together from different business units of an organization, sometimes even from different organizations. How do you help teams to develop cohesion? And how do you lead them? Often without formal power?

Unprepared for Change:
Regaining Control After Sudden Disruption

We often don’t have the luxury of a “textbook” approach to implementing change or leading a transformation. Sudden regulatory shifts, unexpected market disruptions, or other circumstances can force an immediate response. There’s no time for detailed planning, stakeholder preparation, or even a well-thought-out communication campaign. Does that mean we have to accept chaos and constant crises as the new normal? Not necessarily!

Welcome to the PMI Book Club – June Edition!
Join us for an empowering session focused on understanding, building, and applying confidence in leadership and professional life. This month, we’re diving into two powerful reads that complement each other in profound ways:

Book 1: The Confidence Gap by Russ Harris
Summary:
Grounded in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), this book offers a science-backed guide to overcoming fear and self-doubt. Harris explains how action, not perfection, builds confidence. By managing unhelpful thoughts and committing to values-based action, readers learn to move forward despite uncertainty or anxiety.

Key Takeaways:
• The myth of needing to “feel confident” before acting
• Practical tools to defuse negative self-talk
• The power of values-led behavior

Book 2: The Confidence Code by Katty Kay & Claire Shipman
Summary:
This book explores the gender dynamics of confidence, especially how women experience and express it professionally. Combining neuroscience, psychology, and interviews with powerful women leaders, Kay and Shipman provide insight into why confidence matters more than competence—and how to build it intentionally.

Key Takeaways:
• Confidence is more important than we think for career advancement
• Genetics, upbringing, and culture all play a role
• Confidence can be cultivated with action, risk-taking, and mindset shifts
