Given that the 6th edition hasn't been published yet, the only thing we have to go on is PMI's trailer:
https://www.pmi.org/pmbok-guide-standards/...e-sixth-edition

From what I can see coming out, I am very happing to see Tailoring Considerations added. Each project should be unique, not just in its results, but in how it is executed.

Considerations for Agile/Adaptive environments will also satisfy many agile project managers.

Yes, PMI's site gives an overview that I am excited to dive deeper into in just about a week when the new edition becomes available. I do think that key concepts and trends/emerging practices are fantastic enhancements to the knowledge areas as real-life examples/lessons learned from other PMPs in my study group really helped me connect the dots when I prepared for the exam. And as far as agile goes, it's just time that it has a place in PMBOK.

From what I gather, agile is the most anticipated? change for the PMBOK, with an entire section devoted to that process. I'll have to wait until the 6 comes out before I can really give a more definitive answer.

But what do you feel are the important changes? What do you feel will have the most beneficial impact for practitioners, students and yourself?
