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 align the next topics for our Roadmap.

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.

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.
