PMBOK Guide & Standards Overview

More Inclusive Content

Recognizing practitioners’ opportunity to leverage a variety of methods and approaches, the revised standards and guides will represent the full value delivery landscape.

Expect shifts in format and content that serve practitioners’ need for flexibility in delivering outcomes and value to their organizations.

Digitization of Content

Increasing value as an on-the-job reference, our future-state standard products will be available in a digital, accessible format for quick reference in real-world scenarios. This will include additional content focused on helping practitioners apply the standards in context, reflecting various approaches.

Expect an interactive, digital experience that allows you to take the standard and additional content on-the-go for ease of use.
