PMI Risk Management Professional (PMI-RMP)® Certification Updates
The intent of this blog is to provide a summarized comparison between the current exam content outline Current ECO August 2021 and the updated Pilot ECO November 2021 in order to facilitate the way forward for future candidates. The domains in the new ECO will change as well as the percentages of test questions per domain. The below tables illustrates the difference between both:
In today’s world, risk management practitioners operate in a variety of environments and utilize different project approaches. The new exam will incorporate approaches across the value delivery spectrum from Predictive, agile, to hybrid approaches. Questions will be found throughout the five domain areas and are not isolated to any particular domain or task.
In the current exam version, each domain is broken down into tasks and at the end of each domain there is a list of knowledge items and skills that candidates need to be familiar with. Moreover, at the end, there is a list of Core Knowledge and Skills that apply to all domains – Refer to the current ECO August 2021 (Pages 4 – 14) for more details. In the new upcoming version of the exam, each domain is broken down into tasks that are different than those included in the current version and each task is broken down into enablers which are basically examples of work associated with each task. The section for Core Knowledge and Skills required will be removed – Refer to Pilot ECO November 2021 (Pages 5 – 10) for more details.
The application process, eligibility and how to record your experience and education remains unchanged. To be eligible for the PMI-RMP certification, you must meet certain educational and professional experience requirements. All project risk management experience must have been accrued within the last five consecutive years prior to your application submission. APPLICATION PRCOESSING TIMES AND FEES The application processing time (Online, 5 Days Processing) and fees remain unchanged. However, processing time may vary if application was selected for audit.
REFERENCE MATERIAL The list of reference for the new version of the exam are updated and can be found on page 17 of the Pilot Eco November 2021 so if you are taking the pilot exam, make sure your study plan is based on those references. For easy reference, the below table lists the references recommended for each version of the exam.

Joy and happiness filled my heart upon receiving a paperback copy of PMI 50th Anniversary Commemorative Book as a Thank You Gift from PMI. What an amazing gift to kick-off the year. It means a lot to me because I was part of those first 50 years of growth. From cover to cover, the book looks amazing and is very obvious that there was lots of thought put into it. It includes all the story from the day PMI started and with the limited no. of princted copies, this will be a great souvenir to keep forever. Being part of PMI and this great community for many years, I estabished a strong sense of ownership and commitment towards the profession, PMI, the Community and it's members. I enjoy volunteering and giving back to the profession and as the famous Elizabeth Andrew say: "Volunteers don't necessarily habe the time, they just have the heart." Giving back to the Profession and Comunity is a noble thing to do and what motivates me most is seeing the people around me succeed. Looking forward to be part of PMI during the next 50 years and contribute to their growth and success. I wish you all a fantastic 2020 full of happiness, health, wealth and success !

During a conversation with a friend last week as we were working on a private project, he threw a joke that I should create a Certifcations Wall of Fame given that I earned lots of valuable certifications over the years. The joke turned into a serious conversation and thinking about it later, I concluded it would actually be a good idea so I decided to turn the joke into reality. As I look at all those badges all consolidated in one view, I feel so proud of those accomplishments. I can’t even express how much each and every one of those journeys added value and helped me grow both personally and professionally. It took lots of dedication, commitment and hard work to build this concrete wall and guess what, I am ready for the next one. When there is a Will, there is a Way ! |
Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Construction
I came across an article on LinkedIn today which I found very interesting. The article gets into the details of the benefits of AI in the Construction Industry: The Benefits of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Construction The article gives 10 examples of how AI can contribute positively towards construction projects of which most are related to Project Management, not the actual physical work on site. What are your thoughts on this ? |
