Gents,
Please advise if the PMBOK 5th is valid for PMP Exam as there are materials from the 5th edition not showing in the 6th Edition.
If these materials are considered even they are not published in the 6th edition, then do you think that the 5th edition is still alive?

Best Regards
Jalal

I hope this helps. Your e-mail address will never be displayed on the site. Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic. Note: BBcode and smileys are still usable.

Jalal,

The PMP exam is NOT a test of your knowledge of the PMBOK Guide. The PMP exam tests your abilities as a project manager. PMI uses the PMBOK Guide as the primary reference book, and then it uses "others" as well. I put "others" in quotes because PMI does not state what "other" reference books they use.

That much said... even though a methodology is not in the PMBOK Guide it could still be on the exam.

Until Next Time,
