What advise would you give to those currently planning to take training and start studying in Q3/Q4 2016?

Hurry up and start training prior to Q3 2016, but analyze the possibility of waiting and start training with the new version?

Thoughts?

Hello Mounir,

the actual dates published on PMI webistes are "end of 2017" for the online version and "beginning of 2018" for the printed version.

No warranty that these are the final dates now ...
Hi Markus
I could not find the dates on PMI website - the only thing is that the new exam specs will be 1Q2018. So we are back to the point it is one year later than usual so the difference between 5th and 6th is 5 years instead of 4.

Thanks

To Mounir's Question - what has changed? Lots and lots of elaboration has been added. What hasn't changed - some of the graphics (at all) and the basic tenets of project management.

Agree a great deal of elaborations but no real structural changes.

Actually, some (not to say many) old timers like me still believe the 1996 and 2000 editions are much better than the recent ones despite the elaborations. A lot of the elaborations is repetition - for example OPA as an input it is repeated 40 times?

If you are curious - take a look at my recent two e-books on transforming the PMBOK Guide and would love to hear your opinion.

If interested, email me and would be happy to share. You can also download from Bookboon.com

Are individual reply's also seen by everyone? I thought not, but if everyone can see my reply to you, then no need to post twice, but if not, it would be nice for others to see what I've or you've responded.

Anyway not significant to the topic.
