There are only few days left to express your opinions about the upcoming new standard for project managers - the exposure for The Standard for Project Management (not part of PMBOK anymore) ends on 14 February 2020.
This is supposed to be a consensus-based standard, so if you have something to say it better be now - otherwise you'll have to live with whatever the outcome is...
And there are significant changes - gone is the Initiating/Planning/Executing/Monitoring/Closing standard, replaced with discussions on generic principles universally applicable (PMI members and others alike).
Gone is most of the process-based guidance on how to actually do things in real-world - or maybe moved to a digital platform without your input as it's not exposed for public comments anymore. On the new StandardsPlus platform there is a mixture of sections from (the old) PMBOK and personal opinions from various people.
Anyway, I'll stop here as I don't want to influence your opinion - but if you care about what you do, and PMBOK has any meaning in your professional life, don't let things happen to you but make them happen! Go to https://www.pmi.org/pmbok-guide-standards/...exposure-draft, read about it and submit your comments - so it will truly be a consensus based standard (or not, it enough negative comments are received). Saving Changes...
