Sharing in case it helps someone else. I was deep into Process Groups and ITTO memorization when the 2026 ECO dropped.
Here's what I changed:
1. Less ITTO memorization, more focus on principles and mindset. ITTOs still matter but application matters more now.
2. Paying way more attention to Business Environment – it jumped from 8% to 26% of the exam .
3. Practicing case study questions with a timer. The new question types mean reading speed matters more now.
4. Still using PrepCast for now, but supplementing with the free 2026 ECO crosswalk I found on PMI's site.
5. Shifting from "what process group am I in?" to "what value am I delivering?"
I'm still nervous but feel less lost. Anyone else want to share what's working for them?
