A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK \u00ae Guide) 6th Edition was released September 2017. The new PMBOK \u00ae Guide 6th edition contains 978 pages, including the Agile Practice Guide (186 pages). When compared with PMBOK \u00ae Guide5th edition was only 616 pages, the 6th edition is one of the major content updates.<\/p>\n
2 of the knowledge areas are renamed:<\/p>\n
1. Time management will be renamed to Schedule Management – this change will place an emphasis the importance of scheduling in project management.<\/p>\n
2. Human Resource management will be renaming to Resource Management -this change will also place a boarder perspective on all resources that a project willneed; for example: materials, equipment, licenses etc.<\/p>\n
In the 6th edition of PMBOK, three new processes will be added and one will be removed:<\/p>\n
1. Manage Project Knowledge (new process) – added under the executing process group<\/p>\n
2. Implement Risk Response (new process) – added under the executing process group<\/p>\n
3. Control Resources (new process) – added under monitoring and controlling process group<\/p>\n
4. Close Procurements (removed from 6th edition) – removed from close project phase<\/p>\n
So there are 49 processes in PMBOK 6 (47 PMBOK 5 processes + 3 new processes – 1process).<\/p>\n
PMBOK guide 6th edition will gear towards more suggestive wording instead of mandatory wording. Thus, 9 processes have been renamed as follows:<\/p>\n
