About GPM Deutsche Gesellschaft für Projektmanagement e. V.

The GPM is a non-profit professional association for project management. Founded in 1979, the GPM today forms an extensive network for project management experts from all areas of business, academia, and public institutions. The professional association contributes significantly to the professionalization and further development of project management in Germany and offers extensive opportunities for training and further education as well as certification in project management. Through the umbrella organization International Project Management Association (IPMA), the GPM is networked worldwide and also advances work on norms and standards at the international level. The GPM Regions The currently 39 GPM regions represent the association locally, offer a platform for cross-industry networking and exchange of experience, and a wide range of events on project management, which are usually free of charge. The GPM regions thus perform important basic project management work. The GPM Technical Groups The GPM's technical groups address specific aspects of project management. They pick up on current developments in project management, systematize them, and continuously develop them further. Depending on the topic, the groups pursue an industry- or discipline-specific approach. Specialists contribute their know-how and experience to the work of the technical groups, exchange ideas regularly at events, and thus develop new know-how (including analyses, concepts, standards, products, technical articles, and books).
