Page 470, Third bullet item, after RESOURCE REQUIREMENTS - PHYSICAL is spelled Phy "isical"


The editor here wouldn't let me misspell it the same way the guide has it. :)

Good catch, David!

I'm surprised with all the pairs of eyeballs (mine included) who reviewed the drafts prior to release that someone or something (e.g. spell checker) didn't pick up on this!

I don't believe the volunteer committee publishes an errata sheet post-publication so this might just be a lesson learned for the Seventh Edition team.

is it in CAPS in the actual book? if yes then Word spellchecker would have probably ignored it

Nit picking item number 2. In a chart, such as "Plan Procurement Management" Outputs. (figure 12-2)

How different is .1 vs. .10? (1/10 vs. 1/10)

.1 Procurement management plan
.10 Organizational process assets updates.

Different concepts -- same number?

Perhaps the list should have been 1. and 10. ?
