Welcome to the 5 th edition of PM@CH – <strong>The</strong> Swiss <strong>Project</strong> Management Review By James Greene, PMP Chapter Officer <strong>PMI</strong> Switzerland Chapter james.greene@pmi-switzerland.ch It seems like it was just last month, but in reality, more than three and a half years have passed since the first meeting of the team of volunteers who would eventually publish PM@CH. On a cold winter evening in early 2006, Dr. Claudia Casciaro, PMP, Beat Dietziker, PMP, Rüdiger Geist, PMP and James Greene, PMP, met in a restaurant in Olten to discuss how to turn a simple idea into reality. <strong>The</strong> premise then, which is still valid today, was: In scientific fields, there is the rule “publish or perish”. As project managers, we too are expected to constantly pursue professional development, but have fewer opportunities to publish our research results, experiences and knowledge for the benefit of the broader PM community. (PM@CH) has been created to provide such a channel for project managers in Switzerland and Europe. We knew that we had a long, hard road ahead of us. We are all volunteers with busy careers and family lives. But we shared a sense of urgency and a vision for PM@CH. In just 9 months – December 2006 – we had turned our vision into reality, with the release of the 1st edition. <strong>The</strong> 2 nd edition followed in summer 2007, a 3 rd edition in spring 2008, and the 4 th edition in late 2008. As the production of the 4 th edition was completed, Claudia Casciaro asked to step down from the PM@CH management team to have more time for her family.

At the same time, I would like to welcome two new volunteers: Mr. Andreas R Luginbuehl, PMP and Ms. Corinna E. Groeger, PMP, who both joined the PM@CH management team at the beginning of 2009 and have greatly contributed to this 5 th edition. PM@CH will continue to grow and mature in the coming editions. Our goal is to position PM@CH as a key benefit for <strong>PMI</strong> Switzerland Chapter members – an opportunity for all members to contribute (as an author or co-author of an article), and to learn from the experiences described by their peers. As of June 30, 2009, two out of every three members of the <strong>PMI</strong> Switzerland Chapter has earned the PMP ® certification. Contributing to PM@CH – as an author or co-author of an article, or in some other volunteer capacity – is a great way to earn professional development units (PDUs) as well as helping to promote professionalism in project management.
