These 5 domains are &#8211; initiating, planning, executing, monitoring, and controlling. These are basically various stages of the project lifecycle and on each domain, there are some predefined tasks. The current PMP exam checks the competency of the candidate on the basis of the tasks of each domain, as well his skills and knowledge of each domain. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">The table below gives you a detailed look of domain names and percentage of the domains in the exam.<\/span><\/p>\n<table cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td colspan=\"2\" valign=\"top\">\n<p align=\"center\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Helvetica Neue; font-size: medium;\"><b>Current PMP Exam Outline<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"top\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Helvetica Neue; font-size: small;\"><b>DOMAIN<\/b><\/span><\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Helvetica Neue; font-size: small;\"><b>% WEIGHT<\/b><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"top\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Helvetica Neue; font-size: small;\">Domain I.

As the project management domain is evolving and the role of project managers have changed, it is significant to change the Project Management Professional (PMP) exam outline. PMP exam changes reflect the latest practices and so help the project managers to get the skills and knowledge they need in today\u2019s advanced project environment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">PMI keeps on doing research every 3-5 years to understand the progress and changes in the project management domain, impact of latest trends on the project management domain, and change in the role and responsibilities of project managers. The last round of this research was conducted in 2015 and the recent one has been conducted this year, which leads to the PMP Exam Changes 2020<\/span><span class=\"s1\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p2\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When_will_the_PMP_Exam_Changes_Come_into_Effect\"><\/span><span class=\"s1\">When will the PMP Exam Changes Come into Effect?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p2\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">The new PMP exam changes have been announced by the PMI (Project Management Institute). But the changes won\u2019t come into effect from now. The current version of the PMP exam will remain valid until 30 June 2020, and 1 July 2020 is the first day to take the new version of the PMP exam. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">So, there are 2 important dates to remember at this moment:<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>30 June 2020 &#8211;<\/b> The last day to take the current PMP exam<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>31 July 2020 &#8211;<\/b> The first day to take the new PMP exam<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p2\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Current_PMP_Exam_vs_New_PMP_Exam\"><\/span><span class=\"s1\">Current PMP Exam vs New PMP Exam<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p2\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">If we compare the current version of the PMP exam with the new version of the PMP exam, we\u2019ll find a considerable difference. Although the old PMP exam consists of 5 domains, the new PMP exam involves 3 domains. But the new PMP exam will have tasks under each domain just like the current PMP exam. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">However, in the new PMP exam content outline, there are a new term \u201cenablers\u201d. Let\u2019s understand, what are the domains, tasks, and enablers as per new PMP exam changes. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Domain &#8211;<\/b> it\u2019s the high-level knowledge area that is required for the project management practice.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Tasks &#8211;<\/b> The responsibilities of a project manager in each domain area.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Enablers &#8211;<\/b> Illustrative examples of the work that is associated with the task.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">Consider the difference between the current and new PMP exam i.e. Current PMP Exam vs New PMP Exam.<\/span><\/p>\n<table class=\"t1\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"td1\" colspan=\"3\" valign=\"top\">\n<h4 class=\"p6\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"s1\">Current PMP Exam vs New PMP Exam<\/span><\/h4>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"td5\" valign=\"top\">\n<p class=\"p7\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Points of Difference<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"td6\" valign=\"top\">\n<p class=\"p7\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Current PMP Exam<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"td5\" valign=\"top\">\n<p class=\"p7\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>New PMP Exam<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"td7\" valign=\"top\">\n<p class=\"p7\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Domains<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"td8\" valign=\"top\">\n<p class=\"p7\"><span class=\"s1\">5<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"td7\" valign=\"top\">\n<p class=\"p7\"><span class=\"s1\">3<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"td5\" valign=\"top\">\n<p class=\"p7\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Tasks<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"td6\" valign=\"top\">\n<p class=\"p7\"><span class=\"s1\">42<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"td5\" valign=\"top\">\n<p class=\"p7\"><span class=\"s1\">35<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"td9\" valign=\"top\">\n<p class=\"p7\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Enablers<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"td10\" valign=\"top\">\n<p class=\"p7\"><span class=\"s1\">No<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"td9\" valign=\"top\">\n<p class=\"p7\"><span class=\"s1\">Yes<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">On the basis of the above table, you may feel that the new PMP exam changes have resulted in the fewer exam objectives so the exam has been shrunk. But not so; the content of the PMP exam doesn\u2019t change and you\u2019ll still have to refer to the PMBOK 6 for the new PMP exam, as for the current PMP exam.

PMI released PMBOK\u00ae 6th Edition on March 26th, 2018 only and it\u2019s not expected to change before 2023. So, you will have to follow the PMBOK 6 for the new PMP exam preparation.
