12. Why is the PMBOK® Guide changing?
• Project Management has evolved significantly since we
published the PMBOK® Guide – Fifth Edition in 2013.
• Part 2 of the PMBOK® Guide is accredited by the American
National Standards Institute (ANSI) and must be updated
every four to five years.
• PMI continually learns more about what drives successful
project outcomes through our research… and we want to
share those drivers with the project management community.
