On Monday, November 2, at 7:00 p.m., the Power Skills Community of Practice (CoP) invites you to its very first Inspire Session. What is an Inspire Session? A guest speaker from outside the chapter or a selected chapter member gives a short presentation on a topic chosen by the CoP members themselves. For this inaugural event, the CoP members selected Janine Faaß, Team Lead for Project Management & PMO at Zeppelin Rental GmbH, from among five proposed speakers.

From Change to Controlled Action:​
Regulatory requirements, technological developments, organizational changes, or simply changing stakeholder requirements can have a significant impact on projects.​

In this interactive online workshop, participants will work on a practical change scenario and combine three central tasks of the PMP® Exam Content Outline 2026: ​

1. Manage and Control Changes (ECO DIII-T3)​

2. Support Organizational Change (ECO DIII-T7)​

3. Evaluate External Business Environment Changes (ECO DIII-T8)​

Together we develop a structured approach: ​

Recognize change → evaluate impact on scope and backlog → involve stakeholders → implement them in a controlled manner​
Practical, interactive and with a clear PMP® exam reference.​

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 ‘Schedule 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.

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.

Regular meeting of the Risk Management CoP - Topic: Best Practices in Risk Management

The PMBOK® Guide 8 gives project finances their own performance domain. Its message: financial figures matter because they drive value-oriented decisions. This session covers defining value, estimating costs, building budgets and reserves, and steering early with earned value.

Zu späte Eskalation, vertagte Entscheidungen, Arbeitspaketen, die länger zu 90 Prozent fertig sind: Vieles davon erlebt Projektleitung als eigenes Versagen, aber weist das auf eine unbesetzte Funktionen im Team hin. Projektleitungen verantworten das Ergebnis, haben aber selten das letzte Wort über Prioritäten, Budget oder Resourcen. Kollidieren Termin und Umfang, entscheidet oft niemand. Die Projektleitung verhandelt dann, statt zu leiten.

Das CALM Modell unterscheidet drei Funktionen, die jedes Projekt braucht: Richtung, Ergebnis und Fluss. Wer sie auseinanderhält, erkennt, welche davon im eigenen Projekt unbesetzt ist und kann sie gezielt einfordern.

Nach einem kurzen Impuls diskutieren vier Personen mit Sicht der verschiedenen Rollen zwei Fragen: Wer trägt was im Projekt? Und wer entscheidet, wenn es kollidiert, im Lenkungskreis und bei der Eskalation? Zwischendurch stimmt das Publikum ab und bringt eigene Fälle ein.

Zum Mitnehmen gibt es nach dem Abend einen Rollencheck mit sechs Fragen für das nächste Kick-off.

Grundlage ist die Zipresso Podcast-Staffel „Wer entscheidet hier eigentlich?" und das Betriebsmodell CALM.
