The need for PMP Exam changes in 2019:
The need for the exam changes is because our jobs as project managers have changed.
Every 3-5 years, PMI® conducts research to understand how the project management profession has progressed, and developed over time, the impact of emerging trends, and how the roles and responsibilities of project managers have changed. The last round of this research was conducted in 2015 and resulted in the current PMP exam content outline.
Subject matter experts from leading organizations around the world have worked with PMI to define the PMP of the future.
Important dates:
There are two important dates to remember for those currently studying for the exam:
15 December 2019 | This is the last day to take the current version of the PMP Exam. |
16 December 2019 | This is the first day to take the new version of the PMP Exam. |
Details of the 2019 PMP Exam Changes:
The PMP Exam Content Outline changed on July 1, 2019, which will result in a change to the PMP Exam in December 2019.
Contrary to what you may think, the PMP exam is NOT based on A Guide to The Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK® Guide). Instead, the exam is based on The PMP Exam Content Outline. And then PMI will use this new outline as the basis to update the exam.
Here is what what has happened:
- The new outline will includes additional responsibilities that we project managers have and new techniques that we use.
Nearly 50% of the exam will emphasize some form of Agile project management. - The new outline removed or de-emphasized some responsibilities and techniques.
- PMI will update the question bank for the PMP exam by adding, removing and updating questions.
- PMI will start using the new questions on 16 December 2019.
The last time PMI made a similar update was in 2015. Back then, PMI estimated that approximately 25% of the questions on the PMP exam were updated as a result.
Is The PMBOK® Guide Changing?
No.
The PMP exam uses the PMBOK® Guide Sixth Edition as one of the references for the PMP Exam. The PMBOK® Guide Seventh Edition is not expected until around 2023. This means that the PMBOK® Guide is not changing and that PMI will continue to use the Sixth Edition as an exam reference until at least 2023.
What should you do?
Use the PMBOK® Guide Sixth Edition in any case, if you are taking the exam before or after 15 December 2019.
What Does All This Mean for a PMP aspirant?
We recommend that you plan on taking the exam before it changes in December.
If you plan on taking the PMP exam on or before 15 December 2019
- Continue your studies without changing anything.
- Use the current PMP Exam Content Outline (published in 2015) as your general guide to the exam.
- Study using the PMBOK® Guide Sixth Edition.
- Plan your studies and schedule your exam no later than 15 November 2019 so that you can avoid the last moment rush expected in December when everyone would want to take the exam before the change.
- Scheduling your exam in November also gives you an additional month to take it again in case you don't pass at first.
If you plan on taking the PMP exam on or after 16 December 2019
- Follow the new exam content outline published by PMI. Details here: https://www.repsupport.org/pmp-exam-content-outline-has-changed
- Contact your training provider and ask them if they have performed a comparison between the old and new exam content outline and if they will be updating your training materials especially the practice questions/ exam simulator.
- Find out how and when you will be given access to any additional training materials they provide.
- Study using the updated materials provided to you by your training provider.
- Study using the PMBOK® Guide Sixth Edition.
- Schedule your exam on or after 16 December 2019
Should I take the PMP Exam before or after the 2019 Update?
Ideally: before.
Preparing for the PMP exam takes approximately 8-12 weeks. Therefore, if you are reading this before mid October 2019 then you have enough time to do it. If you are reading this after mid October 2019 then although it is still possible, but your window of opportunity is getting smaller by the day.
