This session offers an in-depth analysis of the current standards for leading projects and teams. At its core is a paradigm shift: moving away from purely process-driven workflows towards a value-oriented understanding of leadership that views leadership as a shared responsibility of the entire project team.

The Women in Projects Network proudly continues its six-year tradition of celebrating International Women’s Day. In 2026, we embrace the global theme *Give To Gain*, with a focus on personal growth, giving back, ,and enhancing career visibility and marketability.

Give To Gain emphasizes the power of reciprocity. When we generously share time, knowledge, visibility, and support, opportunities multiple and we all rise.

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.
