✴️ 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.

Many scale-ups sprint through MVPs, ship fast, and wake up with compounding tech debt. Pressure rises, headcount grows, yet delivery slows. The product lacks the technical context to understand the cost; engineering lacks the commercial context to make the right decisions. This session introduces the Service Maturity Framework (SMF), a practical approach to aligning both parties on a single page. You’ll see a simple dashboard that displays speed, reliability, quality, and time to market for each service, accompanied by clear traffic lights and a concise explanation. Next to it sits a decision register, detailing what we will change, who is responsible for it, and how we will verify the results. If OKRs align with where you are going, SMF tells you where you stand today and the next step to take.

The Thuringia Local Group of the PMI Germany Chapter invites you to the topic of "Fuck-up Sessions" – learning from mistakes.

Each of us knows projects that didn't go as planned. We want to share precisely these experiences with each other – openly, honestly, and collegially. The goal is to learn from each other how we deal with challenges, stumbling blocks, and setbacks in project management.
Please prepare at least one project example that you would like to share. Whether it's a small anecdote or a major failure – everything is welcome.
