The document compares PMBOK 4 and 5. PMBOK 5, released in 2013, added stakeholder management as a new knowledge area. It also increased the total processes from 42 to 47 by adding additional processes to scope, time, risk, and procurement management. Other than these changes, the process groups and other knowledge areas remained the same between the two versions of PMBOK.
