Willkommensstunde - PMI Germany Chapter - November 2026

Online

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.

Wer entscheidet hier eigentlich? Rollen und Verantwortung im Projekt

Online, Local Group Hannover

Zu späte Eskalation, vertagte Entscheidungen, Arbeitspaketen, die länger zu 90 Prozent fertig sind: Vieles davon erlebt Projektleitung als eigenes Versagen, aber weist das auf eine unbesetzte Funktionen im Team hin. Projektleitungen verantworten das Ergebnis, haben aber selten das letzte Wort über Prioritäten, Budget oder Resourcen. Kollidieren Termin und Umfang, entscheidet oft niemand. Die Projektleitung verhandelt dann, statt zu leiten.

Das CALM Modell unterscheidet drei Funktionen, die jedes Projekt braucht: Richtung, Ergebnis und Fluss. Wer sie auseinanderhält, erkennt, welche davon im eigenen Projekt unbesetzt ist und kann sie gezielt einfordern.

Nach einem kurzen Impuls diskutieren vier Personen mit Sicht der verschiedenen Rollen zwei Fragen: Wer trägt was im Projekt? Und wer entscheidet, wenn es kollidiert, im Lenkungskreis und bei der Eskalation? Zwischendurch stimmt das Publikum ab und bringt eigene Fälle ein.

Zum Mitnehmen gibt es nach dem Abend einen Rollencheck mit sechs Fragen für das nächste Kick-off.

Grundlage ist die Zipresso Podcast-Staffel „Wer entscheidet hier eigentlich?" und das Betriebsmodell CALM.
