✨ Welcome to the PMI Book Club – October Edition!

October Reading Theme: Financial Intelligence by Karen Berman and Joe Knight
Whether you're a seasoned professional or expanding your role beyond delivery, this conversation will give you fresh tools and perspectives to bridge the gap between execution and enterprise value.
Business decisions are critical for every leader. To grow your skills and career, you need to develop this skill. Key knowledge for any manager includes the ability to interpret financial data to make informed business decisions. This book does a great job of demystifying financial statements and metrics for non-financial managers.
We look forward to your voice in this important conversation. No pre-reading required—just bring your curiosity and professional drive!

Local Group Boeblingen - October '25

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!
