Project management is changing - and we are changing with it. After a creative break, our magazine is back - with a new name, a fresh design and a clear focus. PM Impact is the digital trade and community magazine of the PMI Germany Chapter. Thematically more focussed, more diverse and open to new perspectives from the project world.
July is “AI Month” at PMI – Tools, Insights & Community Around Artificial Intelligence
PMI is dedicating July to the topic of Artificial Intelligence (AI) – offering exciting resources and new tools for project professionals worldwide. The spotlight is on the enhanced PMI Infinity™, the new PMI App, and expert exchange within our Community of Practice AI.
PMI Supports The Great Walk 2025: United for Social Impact and Against Homelessness
In the summer of 2025, PMI joins forces with Homeless Entrepreneur to send a strong message of social responsibility. We’re supporting The Great Walk – a Europe-wide initiative that shines a light on the challenges and potential of people without permanent housing.
CoP Life Sciences: Your Platform for Knowledge Sharing and Project Innovation
The Community of Practice (CoP) Life Sciences is gaining momentum!
Our group brings together dedicated PMI members with expertise in pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, lab technology, medical devices, and more – to share best practices and project management knowledge.
With three roundtables and one group working session already this year, our exchange is hands-on, insightful – and growing fast.
Thought Leadership Report: „The Project Professional’s GenAI Journey: From Quick Wins to Leading the Transformation”
The report is PMI's third thought leadership report on the role of generative AI (GenAI) in project management.
In the first report “First Movers' Advantage” (Benefits of Adopting Generative AI for Project Management | PMI), two central groups of GenAI users in project management were identified: Trailblazers and Explorers. The study showed that Trailblazers were not only able to automate routine tasks through the use of GenAI, but were also able to improve complex tasks such as risk management and decision-making - with positive effects on productivity, creativity and problem-solving skills.
Social Responsibility 2.0 - we want to create social impact!
Members of the chapter use their competence and experience in project management as volunteers to support projects with social impact. You can find out how to do so: Visualization in Project Management: More Clarity, Fewer Misunderstandings
As project managers you face the daily challenge of making complex matters understandable; my tip: reach for pen and paper more often. The goal is less about a perfect final picture and more about the process—how an image emerges and thus creates clarity.
The PMOGA Community of the PMI Germany Chapter is launched!
A platform for PMO professionals - now also in the PMI Germany Chapter!
We are pleased to announce the official launch of the PMOGA (Project Management Office Global Alliance) Community in the PMI Germany Chapter! This initiative brings PMO professionals together to share best practices, learn from each other and actively shape the future of project management.
A first meeting with members of the previous CoP PMO has already taken place. The foundation stone for the new PMOGA Community has been laid and we look forward to welcoming more interested participants from the PMO field.

“Dual Engines of Success” - How project and product management achieve more together
Project management meets product management - two disciplines that often run side by side, although they actually have the same goal: Creating more value for customers and companies. The new PMI Thought Leadership Report “Dual Engines of Success - The Imperative Synergies between Project Management and Product Management” sheds light on how these two approaches not only can, but must, work together to ensure sustainable business success.
Sustainability in the Age of AI – The Integration Imperative
How can organizations meet ambitious sustainability goals while leveraging the transformative power of artificial intelligence (AI) — without creating new environmental risks? This is the central question addressed in the latest Thought Leadership report by PMI: „Sustainability in the Age of AI – The Integration Imperative“.
Why this topic matters now:
Organizations face a dual imperative: Sustainability is business-critical — 93% of executives recognize its importance — yet only 37% have integrated it into core operations. At the same time, AI is advancing rapidly, offering opportunities to optimize efficiency, reduce emissions, and identify sustainability risks across global supply chains. But AI also demands vast resources: the energy consumption of AI systems is rising sharply — a single ChatGPT query, for example, requires many times more energy than a conventional Google search.
