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?

Hi George,

now i am confused, cause this information provided by Kristin are the same available oin the exposure draft website with is shared several times here now, so nothing new about that.
And the other point is, that Kristins mail said nothing about the release dates if i havn't missed something, right?

The information i gave is nothing what i have defined by myself, it is all official information available on their websites .... sorry, but i don't get it ...
It is the standard copy-paste answer :-) LOL

Markus, thanks for your information... I'm sure you guys have much more accurate information that I do...

I don't think I need to worry much, but, Q1 2017 or Q1 2018 is a whole year difference in planning...

But again, I think I get your point...

Thanks....

Hi Julia

Size yes now about 4 x 1996 official version. But structure? What changed - adding the Stakeholder Chapter and a few processes. Any other substantial change?

I am curious because in a recent e-book I published I researched this (in addition to my own experience since the 1996 version) I have not seen any major significant change. Of course this is opinion and I classify major as in the major components such as project life cycle, process groups, knowledge areas.

You can choose not to answer since we are outside the main focus of this post but my curiosity is at peak. :-)

Did PMI answer on the official release of the guide? The post you shared is about the exposure but when will the official version come out?

I know that some are sharing 1Q2107 but is this the official PMI message?

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, thanks... Can you point me to the direct link?, so I can use it as an official reference... Nevermind you can't, I just wanted to avoid searching around...
