PMBOK Sixth Edition is expected in Q1 2017

I m planning PMP for 2nd Q of 2016... Should i worry about the 6th Edition of PMBOK. Because few of my collegues told me that 6th Edition May be release Dec-2016 or Jan-2017...

Any news regarding PMBook 6?

Gracias Irene, pero la pregunta iba más enfocada al entrenamiento, no al examen en sí. Los entrenamientos de Project Management son costosos y es importante que los estudiantes exijan que se les asesore en el cambio de version.

De nuevo, todo esto, no ahora, sino en visperas de que vaya a salir la nueva version.

Hello George,

the release of the new PMBoK Guide edition was actually postponed to the end of 2017 (for the online version) respective the beginning of 2018 for the printed version.
However, as we know out of history PMI will change the PMP exam approx. about a half year after release of the new edition.
That is, cause all the training insititutes and publisher have to update their material along the changes.
Back to your question:
I would say, that every new aspirant should try to go for the exam based on the actual version as long as it seems possible, depending on the needed prep time.
If they could not start their prep until lets say 3 month before the exam will change, than i would recommend to start preparing based on the new material and go for the exam about 1 or to months after changes takes place, so you could consider the first lessons learned of new exam takers.

Hope this helps,

Markus
