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!

The Dresden Local Group invites you to a meetup in a fantastic atmosphere!

Whether you are an experienced project manager, a Product Owner steering team dynamics, or a student just starting out in the world of project execution and collaboration, this evening is perfect for you. Come along to network, reflect, share a laugh, and perhaps even tell your own story. Open to professionals of all experience levels in project management, product development, and related roles, as well as anyone else interested in project management—including students.

We look forward to an engaging exchange.

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.

Presentation1 by Peter Reynders: The Evolution of Project Management Methods

This presentation explores four major project management approaches:

• Waterfall (Stage-Gate®): A structured, sequential approach suited to projects with clearly defined requirements.
• Agile: An iterative, flexible approach that emphasizes collaboration, feedback, and adaptation.
• Agile/Waterfall Hybrids: Combinations of structured planning and agile execution, balancing predictability with flexibility.
• Domain Models: Separation of features as cost elements from products, focus on revenue streams

Today all four approaches are widely used in practice. We will discuss when each method is most appropriate, considering factors such as project complexity, uncertainty, and stakeholder expectations. Real-life examples will illustrate their respective advantages and disadvantages and demonstrate how selecting the right approach can contribute to project success.
