Project Management Professional (PMP)® Certification Prep – (Official)

The PMP exam has been updated in accordance with the September 2017 release of the PMBOK Guide – Sixth Edition. The changes ensure compatibility between the Guide and the exam. Though the Guide is now one of the primary references for the exam, it does not mean that the candidates’ knowledge of the PMBOK Guide will be tested. Also, there will be no change in the PMP Content Outline.
