PMI Germany Chapter e.V.

Dear members, dear project management interested friends,

the PMI Germany Chapter wishes you a happy new year!

In 2023 we are entering our third year as a Germany-wide active chapter. The first two years were very much characterized by crises and changes. But after the pandemic, the war in Ukraine, and the energy crisis, things can only get better.

What can be expected from the chapter in 2023?

The next edition of the Chapter Magazine will be published in February 2023.

Passion for a world in which projects are carried out professionally - that is what drives us volunteers in the PMI Germany Chapter. And because we value the passion of our volunteers, we have volunteer events to exchange ideas in the community and to say thank you.

After almost exactly three years, a really big in-person PMI conference took place, however with a new name - PMI Global Summit - and a new concept, namely the combination of PMI Leadership Institute Meeting North America with the target group of volunteers as well as the PMI Global Conference and PMO Symposium, which were primarily aimed at PM practitioners.

Another aspect made this event unique: exactly 90 days after taking over the role as CEO, Pierre Le Manh was welcoming about 3,500 on-site and 3,000 online attendees.

If you are interested in volunteering and putting your project management and leadership experience to good use, then apply to join us. As Head of Communications for the Region South of the PMI Germany Chapter, you will plan, coordinate and manage the preparation and spread of information from the Southern Region for our members and an extended group of interested parties.

Structurally, we as a chapter are set up in such a way that primarily in the Local Groups member offers are provided in the form of events. For all chapter members living in the south, this means that they can participate in all online chapter events as before. In addition, the in-person events planned by the active Local Groups in the Southern Region will continue as normal.

On the initiative of Andrea De Ruiter, a group of volunteers is currently being formed who want to intensify chapter life in the greater Munich area. In perspective, we expect a chapter meeting comparable to those from the times of the Southern Germany Chapter in February 2023.

This year, the Pulse of the Profession Report investigated the relationship between power skills and project success.

Power skills are knowledge and abilities in the areas of communication, problem- and conflict-resolution, team leadership and strategy.

The PMI Germany Chapter is launching the PMP Study Brunch in 2023. This will be a great opportunity to learn about the new PMP exam pattern.

We will meet on regular basis twice a month. In doing so, we will address your questions. Difficult issues will become discussed respectfully in the community of the participants. Solicit other volunteers to help in your questions. 

The PMP Study Brunch will be a great opportunity to learn about the new PMP exam pattern. Experienced speaker will cover topics from the domains of PMP as per PMBOK 7. A few sessions will also cover simulator questions from the PMP exam.

We would like to inform you that our board member Dr. Werner Waldner has resigned from his position as VP Region South effective December 1, 2022 for personal reasons. We would like to thank Dr. Werner Waldner for his contributions to the Chapter and its members and are pleased that he will remain with us as a volunteer in the area of Social Responsibility Projects in the Region South.

In accordance with our bylaws, the VP Region South position will be posted for the next board election in March 2023. Until then, the Board will soon appoint interim Region South lead.

thing works without communication. You will not be able to lead your project successfully without communicating. So communication is important – also for an association like PMI Germany Chapter e. V. – you will find out why in a moment.
