At our meetings so far last year, it has become clear that our members would like to take a closer look at the PMBOK® Guide. At the next meeting, one of our participants will give a presentation on the topic of ‘Stakeholders in the Performance Domains’ and show how these can be applied in projects in the life sciences sector.
Afterwards, we would like to initiate a discussion and exchange our own experiences and good practices.

Communication-Driven AI Agents for Next-Generation Project Management

Project management runs on communication — yet most PM tools still focus on internal data instead of integrating the real project reality that lives in emails, meetings, and chats. This talk shows how fully integrated AI assistants inside PM tools can turn live communication into timelines, risks, and decisions in real time, while keeping humans in control of what becomes the committed plan. Using real-world examples and live automation demos, we explore how communication-driven AI enables a 10× increase in project manager productivity without removing accountability.

PMI Berlin/Brandenburg Local Group Round table

Dear (new) members of the Berlin/Brandenburg Local Group and anyone interested in project management in the Berlin area, we invite you to our monthly meetup!

The PMI Berlin Local Group Round table is an open, informal networking event for everyone interested in project management.

The meetup is ideal for anyone who wants to get to know us and the work of the PMI Berlin Local Group: You'll learn who we are, what we organize, and how you can get involved and actively participate. Whether you're simply curious, want to network, or are considering getting involved yourself – come along and get to know us in person.

We want to talk to you! Ask your questions, give us feedback, and share your ideas. Your opinion matters and helps us better tailor the chapter to the needs of our community.

This Webinar will be held in German language. An English Version will be held on March 17th.

AI is everywhere - summarising your documents, drafting your emails, answering your questions. But here's the problem: it's usually all personal. One person, one prompt, one answer. Meanwhile, the coordination challenges that actually slow organisations down - aligning priorities across teams, keeping projects and BAU (business as usual) work flowing, making decisions on current data instead of last month's export - remain bottlenecked.

In this webinar, we open up our own setup and show you how we've connected AI directly to Businessmap - not as a chatbot on the side, but as a co-worker and sparring partner that works both IN the system and ON the system, inside the platform where our work actually happens.

Whether you manage projects or BAU work in Businessmap, this session gives you a first-hand look at what becomes possible when AI moves from a chat window to the centre of how you work.

Englisch roundtable in Stuttgart continues.

How we use AI in and with Businessmap - and how it has become our force multiplier

The world is facing changes such as digitalization, electrification in the automotive industry, and climate change. The focus is on — energy. In this respect, alternative energy generation options are becoming increasingly important, and the industry needs to reorient itself. Projects in particular have a special role to play here — namely, to enable these necessary innovations in the first place. Projects such as that of TenneT Germany will not remain isolated cases: >>> Link to article (LinkedIn). The Community of Practice (CoP) Energy aims to focus on finding ideas and ways in which project management can help bring these changes into the energy sector.

Moderne AI-Tools versprechen schnellere Projekte – doch wo entsteht der tatsächliche Mehrwert im Projektalltag, und wie behält man dabei die Kontrolle? In diesem interaktiven Vortrag zeigt Nils Hyoma, wie Teams AI Agents gezielt und verantwortungsvoll einsetzen, um bessere Ergebnisse zu erzielen und wiederkehrende, nervige Aufgaben zu automatisieren – ohne Transparenz, Steuerbarkeit oder Qualität zu opfern.

Teil 2: Von Szenarien zu echter Software (Vibe Engineering)

Im zweiten Teil zeigt Nils in einer Live-Demo, wie Szenarien genutzt werden, um im Sinne von Vibe Engineering tatsächlich Software zu entwickeln. Gemeinsam schauen wir uns an, wie aus BDD-Szenarien konkrete Implementierungsschritte entstehen und wie AI Agents diese Spezifikation als Leitplanke nutzen.

This presentation outlines practical methods for measuring social and environmental impact using established frameworks such as SROI, Theory of Change, and IRIS standards. It highlights how organizations can align their programs with the UN Sustainable Development Goals, integrate ESG criteria into strategy and reporting, and measure carbon emissions through tools like the Greenhouse Gas Protocol and carbon accounting software. The session emphasizes unified impact reporting, stakeholder engagement, and continuous improvement as essential practices for demonstrating value, strengthening credibility, and driving sustainable, mission‑aligned change.
