When will the changes to the PMP
examination take place?
The last day to test under the current
version of the PMP exam is 1 November
2015. After this date, the PMP will reflect
the new exam content outline.
PMP® exam is changing in 2015
What this means
A recently completed Role Delineation
Study (RDS) provided an updated
description of the project management
professional role. Research included a large
-scale survey of global Project
Management Professional (PMP)
® certification holders to validate updates
to domains, tasks, knowledge, and skills.
The RDS captures perspectives of project
management practitioners from all
industries, work settings, and regions. It
serves as the foundation for the PMP
exam and ensures its validity and
relevance.
How the PMP® is affected
The five domains of practice for the PMP
remain the same. However, tasks within
each domain have been modified, added,
or removed.
To view all the changes in detail, see
the Exam Content Outline.
Important Note: This is not the final
version of the new PMP Exam Content
Outline. The proportion of questions from
each domain that will appear on the exam
has not yet been determined. Additionally,
the knowledge and skills associated with
each of these domains and tasks is not
included. This information will be available
no later than 15 June 2015.

Lighter Side of Project Management
A Lesson working with your Program Director
A PMO, a Project Manager, and the Program Director are walking to lunch when they find an antique oil lamp. They rub it and a Genie comes out. The Genie says, “I’ll give each of you just one wish” “Me first! Me first!” says the PMO, “I want to be in the Bahamas, driving a speedboat, without a care in the world.” Poof! She’s gone. “Me next! Me next!” says the Project Manager. “I want to be in Hawaii, relaxing on the beach with my personal masseuse, an endless supply of Pina Coladas and the love of my life.” Poof! He’s gone. “OK, you’re up,” the Genie says to the Program Director. The Program Director says, “I want those two back in the office after lunch.”
…Moral of the story: Always let your boss have the first say.
