PMI has published “AI in Infrastructure and Construction Projects”, a new GenAI e-learning.

PMOs are playing an increasingly important role in corporate strategy - they are not just support structures, but real value drivers. But how can PMO specialists keep their fingers on the pulse and continue to develop in a targeted manner? Two key elements can help significantly here: the Project Management Office: A Practice Guide and the PMI-PMOCP certification.

As 2025 is on it’s way into Q2, PMI's mission remains clear: to drive value for everyone who works in and with projects. The strategy, PMI:NEXT, is designed to ensure that current and aspiring professionals are served effectively. Here’s a glimpse into PMI's key priorities for the rest of 2025.

This year's Nomination Committee is pleased to announce that the selection of candidates for the 2025 Board election has been finalized. This is the official list:

On 20 and 21 November 2025, project managers, researchers, consultants and other experts from industrial and service companies as well as public organizations will meet in Hamelin for the eleventh time to help shape the future of project-based collaboration.  

Our Lean-Agile Community of Practice (CoP) has officially started! 🎉 

We had an exciting discussion at our kick-off and received a lot of valuable input. Thanks a lot to all participants for your participation! 

The PM-Summit 2025 will be THE event for everyone looking to actively shape the future of project management! On November 11–12, 2025, the project management community will gather at the Empire Riverside Hotel in Hamburg to exchange insights on innovations, trends, and best practices.

But it’s not just about the content – networking opportunities will also be a key highlight! On the evening of November 11, participants can look forward to an exclusive cruise aboard the MS Louisiana Star. A perfect opportunity to connect with like-minded professionals in a relaxed atmosphere.
