PMI recently published its Annual Report 2023.

Over 700,000 members, more than 10,500 volunteers, two great acquisitions (PMO Global Alliance and Project Managers without Borders), 307 chapters worldwide, 40 years of PMP® certification, over 1.6 million active certificate holders, record attendance at the PM Summit in Atlanta with over 3,700 participants, establishment of five cultural values in the organization, several thought leadership papers and fundamental learning opportunities on the use of artificial intelligence in project management, and much more.

The fight against climate change is a global challenge. Greenhouse gases do not stop at borders, so it is everyone's responsibility to reduce the amount we emit.

A PMI cross-chapter initiative aims to help raise awareness of the climate crisis.

On November 25/26, 2024, the next Germany-wide PMI event, the PM-Summit 2024, will take place in Munich.

Dear Chapter members and project management enthusiasts,

Since the beginning of May, I have succeeded Dr. Andreas Berning as President of the PMI Germany Chapter. Andreas did not stand for re-election for personal and professional reasons. We reported on this in our last newsletter.

Many thanks to all those who voted for me. And many thanks again to Andreas Berning for all that he has done for the PMI Germany Chapter and for PMI in Germany in general over the last few years. If there is ever something like a gallery of those who have made a special contribution to the PMI Germany Chapter, Andreas will be at the top.

You have completed your PMP/CAPM certification preparation course and are sitting in a quiet room studying for your exam and have soooo many questions? With the Study Group, we - the PMI Germany Chapter - have the answers. 

The Study Group of the PMI Germany Chapter closes a gap... between the 35 hours of mandatory preparation and the exam itself. By answering your remaining questions and helping you to find fellow candidates who will walk the path to the exam with you.  

Promoting and advancing the application of professional project management in all areas of society is the overriding goal of PMI. With over 700,000 members, PMI is the world's largest organization in this field. For many, simply being a member of this great family is a benefit in itself. However, being a member of PMI and the PMI Germany Chapter also brings many other benefits. These are often not even known. For this reason, we are going on a search for you and presenting a "Benefit of the Month" every month.

One of the most important offers of PMI chapters in general and also of the PMI Germany Chapter are local events for further training, knowledge exchange and networking. During the coronavirus pandemic, we had to forego events with physical attendance. Since then, more than a few have retreated completely to virtual events. But many have also complained about a lack. Something is missing.
