Mastering End-to-End R&D Project and Portfolio Management in Life Sciences

The CoP Life Sciences brings together dedicated members of the PMI Germany Chapter who share practical insights, experiences, and best practices on industry-specific topics in the life sciences sector.

This time, we are delighted to welcome Mr. Markus Schätzler from Planisware as our guest speaker, who will present his talk on "From Lab to Launch: Mastering End-to-End R&D Project and Portfolio Management in Life Sciences"

The life sciences industry is facing greater pressure than ever to innovate — driven by increasingly stringent regulatory requirements and rapidly shifting market demands.


In this presentation, we will explore how leading companies leverage modern project and portfolio management strategies — supported by powerful software solutions — to make their development processes more efficient, transparent, and adaptable, from the first idea to successful implementation.
