Hi, yes changes will happen in early Jan 2016. Essentially PMI is adding tasks to the 5 stages with the exception of closing.

These focus on stakeholder management and aligning project results to stakeholder expectations. Also communications with stakeholders, managing the relationships etc.

There is also renewed focus on procurement management.

I see PMI moving in a direction to ensure projects deliver results that meet business and stakeholder expectations.

I gave a short update in one on my presentations in early Nov. If u like the material, do contact me thanks

Cheers

Jen,

I echo this, the PMI is seeing the result of ensuring business value is realized. This is evident in the recent push for Business Analysis within the PMI community. The end game here is ensuring the stakeholders are brought throughout the process and that business value is effectively traced/mapped and implemented. It's a trend that I think will continue to influence the profession in 2016 and beyond.

Hi Abdallah, the last date for the current PMBOK version to be tested in the PMP is 11 Jan 2016, so if your exam is scheduled on the 27 Jan then you will be affected by the changes
