We face new challenges in projects every day. With this CoP, we want to take a "deep dive" into a wide range of topics from the broad field of project management across all industries and develop new approaches to tackling these issues, as well as publish them in presentations and articles where appropriate.

In this meeting, we want to discuss about intermediate results of the first topics.

The construction and infrastructure industry is facing increasing complexity, growing risk, and increasing demands on professional project management. With the new PMI-Construction Professional (PMI-CP) certification, the Project Management Institute is setting an international standard specifically for the challenges of construction projects.

The single greatest decision on many projects is selecting a vendor to provide software or services. Sometimes the methods used for soliciting, evaluating and negotiating with vendors, are not done "according to the book," which is when the results of the decisions made are most likely to result in problems during project execution.

At this event, all members of the PMI Germany Chapter have the opportunity to ask questions on topics that interest them in connection with the PMI Germany Chapter community. The open dialog in the early evening will be moderated by Joerg Glunde, Vice President Members of the PMI Germany Chapter e.V., possibly together with other volunteers of the PMI Germany Chapter.

Construction projects are under a lot of pressure—tight deadlines, complex stakeholders, and increasing demands for transparency and control. An effective Project Management Office (PMO) can be a decisive factor for success if it is understood not only as a reporting unit, but also as an active management and integration tool.

As PMI Germany Chapter, it is important to us to warmly welcome our new members to the chapter and inform them about current developments, exciting offers, and news from the world of project management. That is why we hold our monthly welcome hour for new members—a format for exchange, insights, and participation. At this event, our new members have the opportunity to ask questions about topics that interest them in connection with the PMI Germany Chapter community. The open dialogue in the early evening is moderated by Jörg Glunde, Vice President of Membership of PMI Germany Chapter e.V., possibly together with other volunteers from the PMI Germany Chapter.

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.

Ein 30-minütiges Live-Experiment mit dem Xuviate Flow Simulator. Und eine Überraschung, die verändern dürfte, wie du über Portfolio-Verbesserung nachdenkst.

Alle stürzen sich gerade darauf, KI und neue Tools über die Projektarbeit zu legen. Aber was, wenn die größten Hebel längst darunter liegen, festgehalten in den Policies, die bestimmen, wie Arbeit durchs Portfolio fließt?

In nur 30 Minuten simuliert Mark Geschke ein volles Jahr (260 Arbeitstage) eines realistischen Projekt-Portfolios mit mehreren Teams. Live, im Xuviate Flow Simulator. Wir starten mit einer Baseline, die die meisten Führungskräfte sofort wiedererkennen: zu viel angefangen, zu wenig abgeschlossen, Termine, die kippen, und am Jahresende nur rund 10% des möglichen finanziellen Werts realisiert.

Dann verändern wir drei Dinge. Eines nach dem anderen:

• WIP auf Portfolio-Ebene begrenzen
• Klare Priorisierungsregeln in der gesamten Organisation einführen
• Gezielte teamübergreifende Zusammenarbeit ermöglichen
