Important Dates and Updates for PMP Exam

In the mid of September 2017, the PMBOK Guide 6th edition was released by PMI. The Guide has been revised considering the latest trends and practices in Project Management. Not only this, but we can witness the inclusion of Agile in all processes of the PMBOK Guide and these changes will definitely impact on PMI’s certification exams. We all were waiting for the confirmation from the PMI on the change in PMP exam and here we have a date March 26th, 2018. PMI also confirmed that experts from all around the world are working on setting questions to ensure the PMP certification remains relevant to current practice.

However, PMP is not an exam based on the PMBOK Guide, but it is considered as a primary reference for the exam. Hence, the updates in the PMBOK Guide will have some major impact like changes in terminology and harmonization of process groups, tools, and techniques.

After the update of the existing PMBOK Guide, we can expect the following changes in the PMBOK Guide® Version 6:

• First three chapters are completely revised
