Dear project management friends in and around Hamburg,

in May there will be the next event of the LG Hamburg:

When the whiteboard is no longer enough - with 3D project worlds for shared understanding

3D project worlds are a method of making content quickly and intuitively accessible and presenting even complex relationships in a structured and simple way.

Let's explore the 3D project worlds together in this workshop!

Processes: Procurement management

Details will follow

The Stammtisch Rheinland is a regular event in the Cologne-Bonn area for Project Management Professionals and Enthusiasts and for Learners preparing for their certification. We meet in a relaxed atmosphere for cross-industry exchange, personal encounters and fruitful discussions.


Language: english/ german

And now you: bring your topic and your ideas or send them to: alexandra.brueckner@pmi-gc.de and give impulses, hold a presentation or a workshop, in person or online, in english or german. Use the opportunity to exchange ideas and solutions to promote professionalism in project management.

Processes: Stakeholder Management

Stakeholder" is one of the most complex terms in project management. This presentation discusses its various meanings and how to handle it effectively within projects. We will also cover best practices for engaging stakeholders successfully.

Liebe Projektmanagement-Enthusiasten,

wir laden Euch herzlich zum ersten Stammtisch der Local Group Ruhrgebiet des PMI Germany Chapters nach der Sommerpause ein!

Dies ist eine großartige Gelegenheit, gleichgesinnte Projektmanagerinnen und Projektmanager zu treffen, sich zu vernetzen und 2 wertvolle PDUs (Professional Development Units) zu sammeln.

Wir freuen uns auf einen inspirierenden Abend mit Euch!

We’ll continue the discussion from our last meeting in March and would like to propose some ideas on how we can move forward with our next group activities.
You can find the minutes from the last meeting below.

This event is organized in cooperation betweenn the PMI Germany Chapter and xuviate in GERMAN language!.
Holders of PMI Certifications can claim 4 PDU.

Industrial organisations often struggle with managing complex, interdependent projects while ensuring smooth operations across multiple, often specialised teams and external stakeholders. This environment frequently results in bottlenecks, misalignment, and operational inefficiencies. Factors such as unclear roles, fragmented communication, and difficulties in coordinating intricate tasks only exacerbate these issues, which, in turn, lead to overloaded teams and projects that seem to go on forever.
Many teams have attempted to address these challenges multiple times, often without success, leaving them wary that any new approach might simply be another waste of time. Because of these repeated disappointments, they struggle to envision and practise alternative ways of working. That is why we have developed a practical, hands-on simulation—built on Businessmap—that goes beyond theory and gives participants the chance to learn by doing. By actively engaging with new methods in a controlled setting, participants gain a clearer understanding of why visualising the flow of work, coordinating across teams, and systematically improving processes can make a significant difference.
While this simulation does not provide instant solutions, it equips participants with the awareness and foundational insights needed to explore and apply these concepts in their own organisations. As an added benefit, it also introduces participants to Businessmap, demonstrating how this versatile platform supports a structured, visual approach to project and process management. Ultimately, the simulation bridges the gap between theory and real-world collaboration, helping industrial teams discover more effective ways of working.

Following the resounding success of our recent onsite event and in response to numerous requests from those unable to attend, the PMI English Local Group Munich is pleased to present this engaging and thought-provoking topic online.

The artificial intelligence (AI) software market is undergoing rapid expansion. The potential of AI drives this growth to enhance efficiency, optimize decision-making, and foster innovation. An AI software project is an undertaking that aims to deliver a software product or service that embeds AI functionality to be used by humans or machines. This type of project differs significantly from traditional software projects and projects in general. These differences stem from several distinct features that are paramount to AI software development. The AI projects are inherently data-dependent and require iterative development cycles. Uncertainty and experimentation are also inherent to AI projects, as they deal with uncertain requirements and often seek the right solution through iterative hypothesis testing and refining to achieve desired outcomes. Additionally, AI software projects demand specialized expertise, such as knowledge of machine learning, as well as consideration of ethical aspects.

The Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) Guide provides principles and guidance for managing projects effectively. However, it does not necessarily address the unique needs of AI software projects. To address these differences, Dr. Alexey Burdakov, Ph.D., has written a paper that critically evaluates the applicability of the PMBOK Guide framework to Artificial Intelligence (AI) software projects, highlighting key limitations and proposing tailored adaptations.

Exam strategies and simulation

This presentation focuses on effective strategies for preparing for the PMP exam, including time management, question-solving techniques, and common pitfalls to avoid. We will explore simulation exams as a key tool to assess readiness, improve confidence, and identify knowledge gaps. Practical tips on how to interpret tricky questions and manage exam stress will also be covered.
