Dear Readers

We would like to give you an update of our activities in the Board and our perspectives for the coming months.

The team is now as complete as it gets, and we are eager to support our members with conferences, events and training opportunities as Covid19 allows us to. We have not been able to operate in 2020 as originally planned due to Covid19. For 2020, we set out to strengthen our core services, our base in Jutland, the PM conference and events, career development offerings, communication, and member benefits.

PMI is going through a transformation, so is our profession and so is the standards.

PMI continues to serve the profession of project management by ensuring practitioners are ready for the future. This means PMI needs to empower project professionals to deliver value in The Project Economy.

PMI is committed to ensuring all of its offerings – including credentials (such as the Project Management Professional (PMP)® certification), exam prep options, and The Standard for Project Management and A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK® Guide)—remain relevant as the profession evolves.

The purpose of this article is to follow up on the webinars on the PMBOK 7. Edition which were arranged by the Danish PMI chapter in May and give a unique insight from working firsthand with the development of the PMBOK Guide 7. Edition.

The COVID-19 outbreak has challenged leadership as well as individuals privately and professionally and has highlighted the importance of being able to adapt.
