You’ve probably heard that the Project Management Professional (PMP) examination will change on August 31, 2011. According to the Project Management Institute (PMI) approximately 30 percent of the PMP exam content will be updated to reflect the findings of their project management study. While there may be updates to several portions of the PMP examination, the primary update focuses on the Professional and Social Responsibility domain.
Currently the Professional and Social Responsibility domain is tested as a separate knowledge area on the PMP examination. With the updated exam, Professional and Social Responsibility will be tested throughout all portions of the exam – not in an exclusive area as it is now.
If you’ve been prepping for the PMP I highly encourage you to complete your studies and pass the exam before August 31. It’s better to study and prepare from materials that have been proven effective for the current examination than to wait for the new examination and start your efforts anew. Continue to study with the PMBOK version 4 – which won’t be updated and released until sometime in 2012.
Instructing.com, my website, offers an online PMP Boot Camp that will help you prepare to pass the existing PMP exam. This online course includes 35 contact hours of training and covers everything you must know to pass the PMP examination. The cost of this online course is $55 – until September 1. The content of the course will be updated and the cost of the course will increase at that time. Don’t delay! Pass your PMP exam now.
