PMI Germany Chapter e.V.

The PMI Thought Leadership Team is working to create a series of articles on Artificial Intelligence with "Real-Life Applications". The goal of this series is to highlight the practical applications of AI in various projects and industries. To this end, we are seeking testimonials from professionals who have successfully integrated AI into their projects.

On November 8, the Sustainability Summit 2023 will take place. It is a virtual event organized by several European PMI Chapters, including the PMI Germany Chapter.

A webinar in English with author Teodora Bozheva on increasing project success with Kanban Project, Program and Portfolio Management (KPPM).

In today's fast-paced and ever-changing business environment, project managers face the constant challenge of delivering projects successfully while adapting to changes and demands. Kanban Project, Program and Portfolio Management (KPPM) is becoming increasingly important as a solution to these needs. It is important to emphasize that KPPM is not an alternative to traditional PM methods, but complements and improves them.

"It was two highly interesting days with many suggestions and tips. Participation was definitely worthwhile." With these words Volker Elbers from Braunschweig summarized his participation in the PM Summit. We received similar feedback from many participants.

Promoting and advancing the application of professional project management in all areas of society is PMI's major overarching goal. With almost 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 brings many additional benefits. These are often not even known. For this reason we are going on a search for you and from now on we will present a "Benefit of the Month" every month.

IIn the first episode we presented the free access to the basic work of project management par excellence, the PMBOK^® Guide. In addition, there are a number of other works that define standards and to which every member has free access. We would like to briefly introduce two standards to you in the following.

In the first episodes we presented the free access to some basic works of project management, such as the PMBOK^® Guide. Today we want to introduce the PMI Thought Leadership Reports.

AI has the potential to greatly change the world of work. As with other technological innovations, existing jobs will be taken over by new applications, AI applications. Looking back at the economic history of the last 150 years, however, each technological innovation has also created new professions and fields of activity. As a rule, more new jobs have been created than have been lost. What development will occur with AI is still uncertain.

This also applies to the field of project management. According to Gartner, around 80% of traditional project management work will be taken over by clever machines by 2030. However, if one goes into concrete discussions about what will be taken over by AI applications in the daily work of a project manager, the picture often becomes blurred. It is difficult to understand how the skills in the areas of communication, team leadership, stakeholder management, or problem and conflict resolution that are crucial to project success will be taken over by AI applications.

The central topic of this conference is sustainable IT projects.

As a co-organizer of the “Project Management and Process Models 2023” conference, the chapter offers our volunteers, members and friends the opportunity to network with project managers outside the PMI community and to discuss technical topics.

They see uncertainty as opportunity to innovate. They dare to aim high. They’re unapologetically curious. And they’re always upskilling. These are the Future 50 executives honored by PMI this year.

Yet they all share a common trait: an innate ability to channel their project management skills in ways that reimagine the future, turning bold ideas into initiatives that truly make a difference.

The speakers are top-notch professionals who are experts in their respective domains. Their stories will torch your passion for project management, empowering you with actionable processes that you can immediately implement in your roles.
