The PMPBOK 7th edition concept is different than previous versions, the notion of management knowledge area doesn't exist. A new concept appears is the notion of project performance domain.
Therefore, I invite all interested members to share their points view and observations about the new version. Saving Changes...

Hello Rami;
Thanks for sharing your Point view with us.
As a practitioner, your opinion makes sens, we Can suppose that we have two references and work with both of them to update our own standard. But in the other Side, and as is used to be in the past, each New Pmpbok version replace all the previous versions, so I don't know how things will be with two different and sometimes contradictory concepts.

I believe PMI are taking a more adaptive Agile approach this time unlike the previous versions even with the exam itself.
On the other hand, the concepts are not contradictory in both at all. They do look at things from different angles but they certainly complement each other. Not sure where you have noticed contradictory concepts ?

"This first edition of ISO 21502, together with ISO 21500:—1, cancels and replaces ISO 21500:2012, which has been technically revised. The main changes compared with ISO 21500:2012 are as follows: a) the concept of project management has been expanded to include project-related oversight and direction activities of the sponsoring organization; b) information about how projects can deliver outcomes and enable the realization of benefits has been added; c) consideration of the organizational context of projects has been added; d) descriptions of additional project roles and responsibilities have been added; e) new topics have been added, such as creating a project environment that is conducive to success, project life cycles, decision points and gates, and additional project practices, such as benefits management and change control, to reflect current practices in project management; f) pre- and post-project activities have been added; g) the format has been changed from process-based to practices and narrative-based (see Annex A for details)."

Hello Asmaa,
First,I'd like to thank you for starting this thread. I think PMBOK 7 as you already know is a drastic departure from what PMI has been publishing for years.
I think the content of PMBOK 7 is excellent to set the stage integrating the different project frameworks (Traditional, Agile, Hybrid). I think it is well suited to as an introductory overview to project management, and should not be mistaken for a training standard to gain PM knowledge.
I think PMI is changing their approach adopting (Agile) to become more flexible in framing a better resource knowledge structure, and building a database for Tools & Techniques, so they don't have to update 800 page book cramming all the knowledge in one guide.
So, for individuals seeking specific knowledge they will need to adapt to navigating through these different guides and databases.
As for the certification examination PMI will probably update their exam content outline for each of their certifications. for example:
CAPM: PMI might recommend PMBOK7, and some additional resources.
PMP: PMI might recommend PMBOK6, PMBOK7, and some additional resources.
Only time will tell. We will wait an see what transpires in the future. Saving Changes...

The worst version I have ever read. This new version does not inhehit contents from previous version. Some common terms are explained, defined in a weird language, not easy to understand. It even will be very difficult for new readers to understand project management discipline by reading it alone. Very dissapointed! Saving Changes...
