Study Group Session - Business environment: Manage and control change (Helmut Schneider)

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.​

PMP® Exam Mindset​

Recognize → Assess → Engage → Decide → Implement → Document → Monitor​
