PMI released it just in the nick of time (before June ended): https://www.pmi.org/-/media/pmi/documents/...e-june-2019.pdf

I plan to do a thorough comparison of the 2015 and 2019 versions to understand the differences as these will be very relevant to the forthcoming exam changes, but right away we can see that they've moved away from the top-level domain structure being PMBOK process group focused to the more generic People (42% of questions), Process (50% of questions) & Business Environment (8% of questions) and they have reduced the number of tasks within the domains from 42 to 35.

They have also added another layer of detail under the tasks by providing examples of those tasks.

Whether you are planning to take your PMP after December or you are in the PMP certification training business you will likely want to review this document...

That´s right Kiron. Question I do: 50% exam content is related to predictive practices and the other 50% to adaptative practices.

1) What will be the reference material to prepare adaptative practices? Agile Practice Guide?

2) And what about PMI-ACP certification? Is PMI overlapping PMP and PMI-ACP content?

It would be great if somebody could answer these questions.

It does state that predictive, adaptive and hybrid approaches will be used in the exam.

Yes. Still it is not very clear how the exam questions are going to be restructured with the note about Agile practices and predictive life cycle.
