Project Management practices are evolving in today’s dynamic environment. PMI has been able
to keep up with the pace of these changes and has been flexible to adopt emerging practices like
Agile. While keeping up with the trend, there have been a few amendments in PMBOK Sixth
Edition. Here are the core changes that PMP aspirants should know as they prepare for the
exam based on sixth edition.
1. Each Knowledge Area will contain a section titled “Approaches for Agile, Iterative, and Adaptive
Environments”, which shall describe how these practices integrate in project settings.
2. Realigned Chapters – A few chapters are realigned in front end (Chapters 1 to 3). The
information from Chapter 1 to 3 will be furnished in two chapters namely Chapters 1 and 2.
3. A new Chapter 3 will be devoted to “The Role of the Project Manager”, where many aspects of
the Project Manager’s role will be specifically mapped to P MI Talent Triangle.
4. There will be Process Tailoring, which implies analyzing the project to determine how much
emphasis shall be laid on each process (based on the scope and size of the project).
5. There will be various notations throughout new PMBOK® Guide differentiating between
processes that are “Ongoing” (continuously executing) vs. "Non -ongoing processes”. This
concept will be emphasized for the first time in sixth edition.
6. The Project Scope vs. Product Scope concept will also be emphasized for the firs t time.
7. The Earned Value tool kit will now include “Earned Schedule Management".
8. There will be a distinction between "Communication" (communication between two people) and
"Communications" (artifacts, such as published e -mails).
9. The new Lessons Learned Register is now part of the set of ITTOs. Project Managers will now be
encouraged to prepare updates on a frequent basis (not just at the end of the project).
10. The standard has more voluntary instead of mandatory tone in some areas. For instance, for
Requirements Collection, they might now say something to the effect that, “Here is a list of
possible choices of tools. Choose any of these that best might fit your current project.”
11. “Tools and Techniques” will be grouped under common headings.
12. More emphasis will be laid on strategic and business knowledge, including discussion of project
management business documents.
13. Each Knowledge Area features four new sections:
-Key Concepts
-Trends and Emerging Practices
-Tailoring Considerations
- Considerations for Agile/Adaptive Environments
14. Instead of earlier 47 processes, there will now be 49 processes.
15. Three new processes will be added, while one process will be deleted.
