PMBOK® 7 Series of PMI Germany Chapter – new year, new topics

On August 01 2021, the new PMBOK® 7 went on open sale, members could download it as a personal copy already since the beginning of July as a PDF. Therefore, the PMI Germany Chapter had organized a series on the new PMBOK® edition to accompany the new publication.

Our series on PMBOK® Guide 7 is intended to give our members and other interested parties an understanding of the new PMBOK® Guide and to answer your open questions about it. First of all, three grandees of project management in Germany had started the series by taking a closer look at different aspects of PMBOK® Guide 7 and discussing them with you. The extension announced for the end of the year 2021 with four more highly interesting lectures in German language led to a true attendance record at the last event with the lecture of Jörg Vanhoefer "Project Management in Transition - Hybrid Recipes from 2 Worlds" with 60 participants out of 79 registered, which was above the usual no-show rate of 50% for online events.  

And now we continue with an absolute novelty.

You have just passed your PMP exam? Or you have been PMP certified for some time and are now looking for PDUs for your upcoming re-certification? Or do you just enjoy using your extensive PMBOK knowledge to support the next generation of CAPMs / PMPs in their upcoming exam preparation?
Then we are looking for you as a tutor for our CAPM / PMP learning group, which will start soon. In 12 weekly 1-hour video/telephone conferences, questions on the individual topics of the PMBOK Guide will be discussed. You don't necessarily need to create documents yourself - we can draw from a large pool. Don't worry - it's not about a training with frontal sprinkling, but about interactive learning support, and ideally the participants help each other.

Focus areas:
Q1 - Planning and management of projects i Corona time
Q2 -Sustainability and climate protection in project management.
Q3- Artificial intelligence and project work
Q4- PM as key to the success of the new government and addressing other "Grand Challenges".

New offers for students - working student jobs in the field of project management

In cooperation with our chapter partners, we are now listing offers for student jobs on our chapter website in the new category "For students".
This gives you, dear students, the opportunity to gain first practical experience, to build up a professional network in the field of project management and to earn an income besides your studies.

… to be more precise, the first annual review of the PMI Germany Chapter. The year started with the opening of our new consolidated website and social media presence, the introduction of a service desk system for your inquiries, the first board elections and in parallel by a seamless transition, events of the local groups (if you did not notice much or nothing, we did everything right) - due to Corona, of course, in the beginning only virtually.

The focus topics "Exchange and Networking", "Knowledge Transfer" and "Methodological Development" presented in the General Assembly of July 1, 2021 have been further condensed to the following three overarching goals:
