The PMI States that changes are coming, but what changes are coming? What certifications are changing due to PMBOK6 new version?
PMI States: Updates are planned for later this year to five certifications. That means time is running out to take our current exams. Reserve your exam date soon. Saving Changes...
Rather than my transcribing the content, I'd recommend folks visit this micro-site which PMI setup for the benefit of Registered Education Providers: https://www.pmi.org/update-center
. The Publication/Exam Updates menu has a bunch of choices related to your question - of course, PMI will only reveal so much :-)

Kiron,
I have two questions:
1- This is a very interesting link that you’ve provided. How did you reach to that link. When I open on the website, www.pmi.org, I only found this: https://www.pmi.org/certifications/exam-changes
2- I did not see any info about the RMP so I assume it is not changing soon. I noticed that you’ve mentioned to Dinah that it will. Is there any info on the PMI website about this ? I did not find any.
Thanks, RK

I am studying for the RMP. There are a few changes in the Risk Management section of the PMBOK. However, I am not sure when they will update the RMP test. But I am planning to schedule my test soon so I will not be affected.

PMI will be refreshing the Risk Management Standard later on this year so my guess is that they might do a new RDS and issue an updated ECO (which would result in a changed exam) in late 2018 or in 2019.

If you notice, the PMBoK version that is aligned with Risk Management Standard is PMBOK 4. RMP is really much behind rest of certifications.
BTW, I'm also preparing for RMP and should take the exam anytime in a month or so
