Like other fields of knowledge, project management is constantly evolving. There are new findings from science and practice that are constantly advancing project management as a whole or specific sub-areas.
PMI employees and specially commissioned agencies continuously monitor and analyze market developments and emerging trends and regularly produce so-called "Thought Leadership Reports" (see also LINK), which provide excellent orientation on developments in project management.
This is the title of the next #PMXPO - Virtual Experience Series 2024 taking place on March 21, 2024. The PMXPO format is fantastic and has won several awards in 2023.
In recent years, the European Chapter Collaboration (ECC), in which numerous European PMI chapters had come together to create joint benefits for their members, had gone quiet.
Now there is once again an agreement between the European chapters that allows them to attend events across Europe at member discounts from the other chapters.
Promoting and advancing the application of professional project management in all areas of society is the overriding goal of PMI. With over 700,000 members, PMI is the world's largest organization in this field. For many, simply being a member of this great family is a benefit in itself. However, being a member of PMI and the PMI Germany Chapter also brings many other benefits. These are often not even known. For this reason, we are going on a search for you and presenting a "Benefit of the Month" every month.
Today we want to introduce the mentoring program of the PMI Germany Chapter. A great benefit for chapter members!
There are now a large number of PMI offerings on the topic of artificial intelligence in project management. Project Infinity is another one.

The PMI Global Summit is PMI's Eventex Award-winning flagship event. It was developed during the coronavirus pandemic and took place for the first time in Las Vegas in 2022 and in Atlanta in 2023.
Naturally, most of the 3,500 participants in Atlanta came from the USA. In order to bring the event format to other continents, the event will be traveling as the PMI Global Summit Series in the future.
In Europe, the PMI Global Summit Series will be held from 10.04. to 11.04.2024 in the center of Berlin, at the bcc (https://bcc-berlin.de/).
In order to support our profession as a professional association and to implement our chapter strategy, we need support and are looking for more volunteers.
A chapter is a group of PMI members within a specific geographical area - in our case, Germany. The PMI Germany Chapter creates a sense of belonging and fosters a community spirit among members. We organize regular meetings, events, workshops and seminars where professionals can come together, exchange ideas and learn from each other. But we couldn't do all this without our volunteers - the essential core of the chapter. And to be able to do more as a professional association, we also need more support, i.e. more volunteers.
As a professional association, it is important for us to pick up on topics and trends and work out what they mean for the field of project management. In the PMI Germany Chapter, we do this in so-called Communities of Practice (CoP).
In just over a month the first round of the mentoring program for members of the PMI Germany Chapter ends. The overall feedback is very positive and offers helpful recommendations ahead of the preparation for our second round, targeted to kick off in Q1/24.
In mid-December, the first round of our mentoring program will be completed. In this initial round, 68 participants embarked on a journey of sharing experiences and mutual support. 33 mentors are guiding 35 mentees - including 8 members of the PMI Chapter Ukraine. Even though this round is still ongoing, the feedback we (as program team) did receive through an anonymous survey is quite encouraging for us.
Adaptation is the order of the day for modern companies. According to a recent PMI global survey on project management, two-thirds of organizations are engaged in ongoing and continuous digital transformation. Other priorities include changing corporate strategy (36%), introducing new technologies (34%) and expanding into new markets (32%). All of this is associated with more or less far-reaching changes. In order to manage these changes, you need future-oriented project teams.
How can project managers build and maintain such high-performance, future-oriented teams?
