Overview

This session provides a comprehensive executive summary of the PMBOK® Guide - Eighth Edition. We will dissect the shift from the 12 Principles of the 7th Edition to the streamlined 6 Principles and 5 Focus Areas of the 8th. We will clarify the "Safety Zone" for current PMP candidates (taking the exam before July 2026) and the "Future State" for those planning for late 2026 and beyond. Finally, we will explore the new, robust appendices on Artificial Intelligence and Sustainability, demonstrating how PMI is modernizing the standard to meet global challenges.

Why you should Attend

Confusion is the enemy of certification. With the release of the 8th Edition, thousands of project professionals are asking: "Which book do I study?" and "Is my PMP certification about to become obsolete?" Misunderstanding the timeline between the book release (now) and the exam update (July 2026) could cost you hundreds of hours of studying the wrong material. Furthermore, failing to adopt the new 8th Edition's focus on AI and Data-Driven Decision Making will leave you behind in a rapidly automating industry. Attend this session to demystify the changes and secure your career's future.
