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 ‘Stakeholder 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.

Dear project management enthusiasts,

at the end of the year the PMI local group Hamburg meets at the Christmas market!

From Vague to Voiced: Verbal Presence for Project Leaders

Three everyday habits that decide whether you are truly heard

You know your project inside and out, yet something gets lost when you speak. Presence rarely slips in the big moments. It slips in small phrases: the "just" that shrinks your contribution, the "um" that fills a pause, the update that opens with the problem. Over time, those habits decide whether people see you as someone reporting the work or someone leading it.

For any questions, please contact us at lgdarmstadt@pmi-gc.de.

Dear members,

We would like to celebrate the end of the year with you in a cozy and festive atmosphere! We cordially invite you to our year-end gathering at the Christmas market.

Let's reminisce about the year over mulled wine, punch, and Christmas treats, enjoy some good conversation, and strengthen our network. Whether you're a Christmas enthusiast or simply looking for a relaxing evening – there will be something for everyone!

For members only!

Artificial Intelligence is rapidly changing the way projects are planned, managed, and delivered. But successful adoption requires more than simply adding new tools. In this session, Buso Chika will explore how project professionals can use AI in a practical and responsible way—combining automation, better decision-making, and strong governance to create real business value.

There will be 2 Presentations separated by a break to network.

Agile-Stage-Gate® Hybrids

• Stage Gate® is a method of cross-functional coordination.
• Agile work is best for specific tasks like optimizing a concept or optimizing a scale-up.
• Therefore, one can use Agile philosophy and tools in these stages within a product development process.

What Comes after Agile resp. Agile-Stage-Gate® Hybrids?

• In many cases the Agile approach has shortened the projects and resulted in better products:
• Especially when the market and technology is changing during the project duration.
• Agile has led to longer project durations for line-extension products.
• Stage-Gate® has products and features (components) under one project or program.
• This has created lots of ambiguities and limits.
• Let us separate projects, products and features.
