The document discusses the changes to the new PMP exam, including: - The exam is now based on the new Exam Content Outline (ECO) and will be online proctored. - The PMBOK guide has been updated to the 7th edition. - The exam questions now focus more on agile approaches rather than traditional project management processes. - Candidates will need to study additional materials beyond just the PMBOK guide to prepare for the updated exam. - Taking the exam will require more time and effort for preparation compared to the previous version.
