A major emphasis of the updates pertains to the addition of agile and other adaptive practices. An appendix is being added to address adaptive practices, and details are being added to each Knowledge Area to be inclusive of projects using an adaptive approach.
Another change will include a chapter on the role of the project manager with emphasis on skills related to strategic and business management. This will complement the discussion of technical and leadership skills to more fully round out presentation of the skills required of a PM as described in the PMI Talent Triangle™.
Other standards, including The Standard for Program Management and The Standard for Portfolio Management will be undergoing review later this year, likely in Q3. Publishing dates for updated versions of those standards is currently planned for the second half of 2017.
