Hace escasas semanas, PMI publicó oficialmente este mensaje en su web:
Some weeks ago, PMI published this:
«A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK® Guide) – 7th Edition will now be a reference to inform the development of the exam items. However, before any validated exam item is added to the exam, there is a very rigorous and thorough review and field test cycle. This process takes multiple months.»
Knowing the changes PMI is undergoing, my best guess will be to focus on the ECO (Exam Content Outline) firstly, the PMBOK V6, secondly, the Agile Guideline, thirdly and the PMBOK V7 as a secondary source.
Hi Sachin,
I passed my exam in Nov 2021.
I started my preparation with thorough understanding of PMBOK 6th Edition and midway in my preparation journey 7th edition was released. I did a light read of 7th edition due to time limitation.
However, the 6th edition gave me a very good basic understanding of all the concepts and techniques.
Also, the Agile Practice Guide is a must read for the new exam format. You should have a very good understanding of the agile and hybrid concepts as the exam was 60% agile and hybrid based.
I had to thoroughly read this book twice and grasp the agile concepts. It is a short 180-page book and quite well written.
Good Luck,
Navjot

Navjot, this is interesting to know that 60% of the exam is Agile. Males me wonder what is left or how is PMI-ACP different.

hi Rami,
I had the same thoughts post the exam.
But it is true- the exam was about 60% agile and hybrid-based scenarios.....I am so glad that I spent considerable time on the Agile Practice Guide , which I would say is a must read for the newer format of the exam. It is really important to understand the agile and hybrid concepts for the new exam format and so, for someone like me who has limited experience with agile projects, I had to thoroughly read this book twice and grasp the agile concepts.
Another interesting thing I found was that my exam had NO maths/calculations questions. In fact, I did not have to use the pen and paper given to me in the test centre!

I remember fretting over the EV formulas for my PMP exam. I brought a calculator (back in 2003, that's what you were told to do) but never had to use it once! Now, for my PMI-SP . . .
