Ein 30-minütiges Live-Experiment mit dem Xuviate Flow Simulator. Und eine Überraschung, die verändern dürfte, wie du über Portfolio-Verbesserung nachdenkst.

Alle stürzen sich gerade darauf, KI und neue Tools über die Projektarbeit zu legen. Aber was, wenn die größten Hebel längst darunter liegen, festgehalten in den Policies, die bestimmen, wie Arbeit durchs Portfolio fließt?

In nur 30 Minuten simuliert Mark Geschke ein volles Jahr (260 Arbeitstage) eines realistischen Projekt-Portfolios mit mehreren Teams. Live, im Xuviate Flow Simulator. Wir starten mit einer Baseline, die die meisten Führungskräfte sofort wiedererkennen: zu viel angefangen, zu wenig abgeschlossen, Termine, die kippen, und am Jahresende nur rund 10% des möglichen finanziellen Werts realisiert.

Dann verändern wir drei Dinge. Eines nach dem anderen:

• WIP auf Portfolio-Ebene begrenzen
• Klare Priorisierungsregeln in der gesamten Organisation einführen
• Gezielte teamübergreifende Zusammenarbeit ermöglichen

A 30-minute live experiment with the Xuviate Flow Simulator - and a surprise that should change how you think about portfolio improvement.

Everyone is rushing to layer AI and new tooling onto project delivery. But what if the biggest gains are already sitting underneath all of that - locked up in the policies that govern how work flows through the portfolio?

In just 30 minutes, Mark Geschke will run a full simulated year (260 working days) of a realistic, multi-team project portfolio - live, in the Xuviate Flow Simulator. We'll start from a baseline most leaders will instantly recognise: too much started, too little finished, deadlines slipping, and only around 10% of the potential financial value captured by year-end.

Please address any questuions directly to Mathias Tölken (mathias@xuviate.com) or Martin Bertram (Martin.Bertram@pmi-gc.de)

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

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 ‘Resources 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.

Die LG Berlin des PMI Germany Chapters lädt ein zum Online-Event unseres Sponsors Blue-Ant zur Lunchtime:

Ressourcenmanagement – Warum es so oft scheitert – und wiedas Chaos endlich ein Ende hat.

Wir freuen uns auf zahlreiche Teilnahme.

Unclear service definitions are among the most common causes of conflicts, addenda, and delays in construction projects. Scope management is therefore much more than a contract appendix—it is a key management tool for stability, transparency, and economic project success.

This time it will be a refreshing "Book Club and More" giving us the opportunity to exchange and get ideas about books, podcasts, articles, etc to read / watch during the summer holidays. So get your favourite food and drink or whatever you want on the evening of16th June and see you online.

Webinar Agenda
17:30 – 18:00 Welcome and Networking - An informal opportunity to connect with others, share experiences, and settle in before the main session.
18:00 – 19:00 Featured Talk Liz Hector – Liz Hector Project Skills Mentor, Blogger, Speaker, and Mentor

Talk Summary
Project environments continue to accelerate, with constant change, increasing complexity, and growing expectations placed on project professionals. For many women working in projects, this pressure can quietly lead to exhaustion, reduced engagement, and burnout.
In this interactive session, Liz Hector explores how project professionals can thrive rather than simply cope. Drawing on emotional intelligence, practical project experience, and mentoring insights, Liz will share how to build resilience at both an individual and team level.
