260809 CoP KMU chapter Bild KMU Our former Community of Practice "Pragmatic Multi-Project Management for SMEs" has been renamed "Enterprise Agility for SMEs."

This is much more than a name change. It reflects our true mission: translating the PMI Enterprise Agility Manifesto into a pragmatic approach that helps small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) make better decisions, allocate resources more effectively, and respond faster to change. Project Portfolio Management is not the objective itself—it is the means to achieve Enterprise Agility.

The first major program update is confirmed: Prof. Dr. Maja Göpel will join PM Summit 2026 as a keynote speaker.

The transformation researcher, bestselling author, and advisor is one of the leading voices in the German-speaking world when it comes to sustainable development, future-proof economic thinking, and societal change.
In her keynote, she will put current economic, ecological, and social challenges into perspective and show how a future-ready course can succeed. You will gain insights that provide orientation and invite you not only to observe the future, but to actively help shape it.

PM Summit will take place on November 24 & 25, 2026, in Düsseldorf.

260707 Global Construction The Global Construction Project Management Conference 2026 was a great success. Speakers and participants from five continents came together virtually to discuss current developments, challenges and future perspectives in construction project management.

For the PMI Germany Chapter, it was a great pleasure to contribute to this international conference and to join forces with other PMI chapters in setting a strong example of cross-border collaboration within the PMI community.

Artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming the way organizations manage portfolios, programs, and projects. With the publication of The Standard for Artificial Intelligence in Portfolio, Program, and Project Management, PMI has introduced its first comprehensive framework for the application of AI in project management.

Importantly, the standard goes far beyond the use of individual AI tools. It positions AI as a strategic organizational capability and addresses topics including:

Why do even professionally managed projects increasingly struggle with complexity, uncertainty, and constant change? And what sets apart the organizations that continue to deliver successful outcomes?

The new PMI Pulse of the Profession^® 2026 Report explores exactly these questions. It provides compelling insights into how project management is evolving—from a primary focus on planning and control toward the ability to understand complex systems, balance stakeholder needs, and remain effective in the face of uncertainty.

The new issue of PMimpact, the magazine of the PMI Germany Chapter, has been published. This time, the focus is on a topic that is increasingly shaping project management in many organizations: sustainability.

Sustainability has long been more than just an additional project objective. It influences decisions, priorities, communication, stakeholder expectations, and the question of how impact is defined in projects in the first place. This is exactly where the new issue comes in: it shows how project management can support, structure, and make sustainable transformation effective.
