PMBOK® Guide—Sixth Edition
PMI is currently in the process of developing the PMBOK® Guide—Sixth Edition. The PMBOK® Guide is the leading global standard for project management. The PMBOK® Guide contains the processes that project management experts agree are necessary for most projects in most environments. The PMBOK® Guide reflects the evolving knowledge within the profession. Processes are presented by Process Group and Knowledge Area.
PMI Standards guidelines and publications are developed through a voluntary consensus process. The consensus process brings together volunteers and/or seeks out the views of persons who have an interest and expertise in the topic covered by the standards.
The PMBOK® Guide has contributed significantly to the advancement of the project management profession worldwide by championing a common lexicon and disseminating generally accepted project management knowledge and practice.
Publication of the PMBOK® Guide—Sixth Edition is expected in Q1 2017. The effort is led by Cyndi Dionisio, Project Chair.
