The PMP® examination will be updated on the 31 August 2011.
Exams taken before 31 August 2011 will use the same study materials as today.Exams taken on 31 August 2011 and after will require new study materials aligned to the updated PMP Examination Content Outline.
Approximately 30% of the PMP exam content will change as a result of changes made to the PMP Role Delineation Study (RDS). This change will be implemented through existing items being updated as appropriate, new examination items being developed to meet these requirements, and old items which do not meet the criteria being retired.
Some key points:
-
There will be no change in the PMP® eligibility requirements.
-
There will be no change to A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK® Guide) these were made in 2009.
-
Existing PDU and CCR requirements remain unchanged for PMP® holders – you keep the PDUs you have earned.

PMI conducts a Role Delineation Study (RDS) every five to seven years, for each of its credentials based on the role in project management the credential serves.

The major change resulting from the RDS is that the content area (Domain 6) will now be tested in every domain rather than as a separate domain on the examination. The recognition obtained through the RDS is that professional and social responsibility is integrated into all of the work of project management. Consequently, PMIs Professional and Social ResponsibilityCode of Ethics and Professional Conductshould be viewed as now integrated into the day-to-day role of a project manager, emphasising its importance in each phase of the project lifecycle.
