Edson -
I can't provide too many details as those of us who were in Review Team One were required to sign the usual non-disclosure documents, but some key points:
1. It is principles rather than process-based
2. It is a full rewrite of the document and is expected to be under 200 pages
3. It does cover agile, hybrid and traditional approaches in a more natural fashion than the "bolt on" approach taken for the Sixth Edition
4. It does a good job of balancing the people side of the profession with the hard skills
As far as the relationship to the exam goes, the Seventh Edition will NOT be a reference for the new exam when it is launched on July 1. The Seventh Edition of the Guide will not be available till after the exam change so PMI is still listing the Sixth Edition as one of the references for the new exam.
