    What is the syllabus for the new PMP exam?

    When the new exam was announced, it caused a lot of confusion. PMI said the new exam is based on the exam content outline and people were confused as to what resources they should use to prepare for the new exam. Let me simplify this for you. The major components of the new PMP exam include:

      • Traditional / Predictive project management
      • Agile/Hybrid Project Management
      • The new exam content outline

    To prepare for Traditional / Predictive Project management, you should consult the PMBOK 6 & 7

    To prepare for Agile/Hybrid project management, you should consult the scrum guide and the Agile Practice Guide.

    To prepare for the new exam content outline, you should download the new ECO from PMI’s website.


    Will the PMBOK 7 affect the PMP exam?

    Therefore, there are no plans to change the current PMP exam of 2021. Let's make this clear: As of this point in time, The PMBOK 7 does not affect the current PMP exam. 

    Here is a collection of other insights that will help provide clarity:

      • The PMBOK 6 is very much valid for use even though the PMBOK 7 is released since August 2021. Moving forward both PMBOK 6 and 7 will continue to be used as reference guides for preparation.
      • All information from PMBOK 6, including process groups and knowledge areas, remains essential to the exam as it covers traditional project management in detail.
      • The release of the PMBOK 7 currently does not have any major implications for the new exam.
      • The PMBOK is only one of several preparation sources for the new PMP exam. It is not the ONLY resource to prepare for the exam.
      • It is possible the PMP exam might change down the road, however as of now, there has been no evidence to suggest this could happen in the near term.


  • PMP Application

    PMP Application

    Describe all your project following this template as an example.

    B2B consulting company   ( all the descriptions must be around 300 words)

    Objective: ( Give a brief description of your project to all allow anyone outside to understand the purpose of the project )

    ( For Examplesmile The goal of the project was to set up a consulting services company specializing in monitoring and marketing to support creative companies in their development strategy. The company was to provide training, coaching and market research services to help its clients seize the best opportunities for their growth.

    Role: Describe your Role ( My role was to manage all the projects as Project Manager )

    Initiation: thanks to a market study carried out with the target customers, I was able to validate the business opportunity. The analysis has indeed served to reveal the need that creative entrepreneurs have for relevant information in order to make the best business decisions. In addition, training and support in the use of the best marketing tools were also identified as a need. The aim of the project was to participate in the creation of viable and sustainable creative businesses.

    Planning Coordinate the details of setting up the business by developing the business plan including the communication plan, the marketing plan, as well as the financial projection. It was also necessary to proceed to a systematic identification of the stakeholders (customers, collaborators, funding organizations and partner organizations) and to design the strategies to enter into contact with each of them.

    Execution and Monitoring Once the business plan was completed and validated, administrative procedures were initiated to obtain the various authorizations to exercise. At the same time, the team of collaborators was set up and the connection with the first customers was carried out. Since the requirements were predictive, the predictive methodology was the one that was used.

    Closing Once the business was active I closed the project by documenting the operations management plan.

    Outcome: New business was active and operational.
