In addition to what Kiron said - the new edition has a lot of good additions and some changes are not so good or even bad Saving Changes...

Agreee with Kiron, change in traditional project management,things are included in PMBOK 6th Edition to cover up the changes which at present happening. Knowledge share is over whelming.
Mansoor,
I am curious - what you think traditional project management is and why is this relevant in a PMBOK Guide discussion? Saving Changes...

We need to get used to changes, since it is required by the profession. I do not wana say that all the changes are necessary or OK, however, this is the way that PMI decided to work. We better to trust them at least now.
Why do you better trust them? So if something that is wrong, we accept it because PMI said it is?

Please note - there is no book called PMBOK
There is a PMBOK Guide - a Guide to the PMBOK
If you know the difference and continue on using PMBOK, then you are helping confusing people. If you do not know, learn about it.
I need to go through it again. The second read is always better, and already it's way better than 5. Saving Changes...

What @Mounir stated above about take into account the difference is not trivial. If you ask me I will say that is critical to understand to not fail when you work into an initiative. Saving Changes...

Michael -
I did a webinar a couple of months back contrasting the two editions - while the addition of tailoring considerations, emerging trends, agile/adaptive considerations and the increased content on the PM role are all steps in the right direction, the size increase of the document (700+ vs. 500+ pages) and the growth in the ITTOs makes it a little overwhelming, especially for someone who might not have read earlier editions.
This growth also is likely to further the incorrect perception that it is intended to be a "one stop shopping" for project management as opposed to being one reference among many.

Kiron, I recall Ive watched this video you did and it was great. Do you mind sharing it again please. Saving Changes...

From the 4th edition up to the present (6th edition), I have been studying the PMBOK, and I have observed with great care the quantum leap that this new version has given, besides now including the standard project management, accompanied with the Agile Practice Guide. I aspire one day to have the dollars to certify me as PMP, because I gather all the professional credentials, which I have acquired for more than 13 years in the Venezuelan oil industry (PDVSA), in the area of Engineering and Construction Projects of the Paraguaná Refinery Complex. Knowledge that I have conjugated with the practices established by the IPA (Independent Project Analysis).
Sorry for my English,

Jhonan, sounds like you are ready now to start with the PMP certification. There are some courses that are not too expensive that give you the required training hours, but the exam fee will remain the same unfortunately. Saving Changes...
