The Buddy Program of the PMI Germany Chapter connects experienced members with new members. We are now looking for more Buddies who can provide guidance, share their experience, and help new members find their way into the community.
Have you been a member of the PMI Germany Chapter for at least two years, speak German fluently, and would like to support a new member for two months?
Then become a Buddy and apply via PMI’s Volunteer Engagement Platform:
Nine years after the first edition, PMI has published the second edition of the Agile Practice Guide. The guide has been extensively updated to reflect how agile ways of working have evolved in recent years.
New or significantly expanded topics include hybrid ways of working, product management, enterprise agility and scaling, psychological safety, sustainability, and generative artificial intelligence. Each chapter also explains where artificial intelligence can provide useful support and which risks need to be considered.
Your PMI membership gives you access to an international career platform for project professionals. On the PMI Job Board, you can find job opportunities for project managers, program managers, Project Management Office (PMO) professionals, and other project-related roles.
With a free account, you can save relevant job postings, create search profiles and notifications, and upload your résumé. You can also access additional information and resources on careers and job applications.
The Community of Practice (CoP) Power Skills of the PMI Germany Chapter is launching two new formats, Inspire Session and Kurskorrektur, for professional exchange and specific challenges from everyday project work.
Inspire Session: Perspectives from inside and outside the Chapter
In the Inspire Sessions, CoP members select topics that are relevant to them. Speakers from within the Chapter as well as external experts* share their experience and perspectives on these topics.
The PM-Summit 2026 brings together people who shape projects, take responsibility and drive change. Over two days, it is not only about gaining new knowledge, but also about sharing experiences, discovering different perspectives and discussing the questions you face in your day-to-day project work.
That is exactly what the PM-Summit creates space for: between sessions, during conversations and in discussions that often continue long after a presentation has ended.
At the first joint meeting of the leads of the Communities of Practice (CoPs), the specialist groups of the PMI Germany Chapter, representatives from eight CoPs came together to sharpen their common direction.
The key question was how the Communities can contribute to their members. Together, the participants defined four priorities for their future work:
Digital transformation is changing more than just processes, tools, and structures. As the use of AI increases and the pace of change accelerates, so do the demands placed on project managers and leaders. Self-management, self-awareness, and resilience are thus becoming critical competencies for effective and sustainable project management.
This one-day workshop focuses on the individual in the midst of transformation. It centers on consciously managing inner drivers and mental patterns, recognizing one’s own strengths, and exploring how these can foster direction, stability, and effectiveness in day-to-day project work.
What’s new at the PMI Germany Chapter, and how can you make more of your membership? At our Online Members Meeting, you’ll learn what the Chapter is currently working on, ask your questions, and contribute your own ideas.
On September 15, the focus will be on volunteering. Alexandra Bruckschen, Vice President Volunteering, will provide insights into the current priorities and show you how and where you can get involved as a volunteer.
The Members Meeting also gives you the opportunity to connect with other members across regional boundaries and exchange ideas within the community.
