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.

The world is facing changes such as digitalization, electrification in the automotive industry, and climate change. The focus is on — energy. In this respect, alternative energy generation options are becoming increasingly important, and the industry needs to reorient itself. Projects in particular have a special role to play here — namely, to enable these necessary innovations in the first place. Projects such as that of TenneT Germany will not remain isolated cases: >>> Link to article (LinkedIn). The Community of Practice (CoP) Energy aims to focus on finding ideas and ways in which project management can help bring these changes into the energy sector.

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.

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.

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.
