PMI just released the draft version of PMBOK® Guide 5th edition for review; and I had the chance to go through it.
There are some changes in the new Guide, the biggest change is that they
introduced 7 new processes, one new knowledge area “Project Stakeholder Management“, and removed 2 processes “Manage Stakeholder Expectations, Report Performance “, so now we have 47 processes and 10 knowledge areas, below are the new changes:
- Seven new processes
| Process | Knowledge Area | Process Group |
| Plan Scope Management | Scope | Planning |
| Plan Schedule Management | Time | Planning |
| Plan Cost Management | Cost | Planning |
| Plan Stakeholder Management | Stakeholder | Planning |
| Manage Stakeholder Engagement | Stakeholder | Executing |
| Control Stakeholder Engagement | Stakeholder | Monitor & Control |
| Control Communication | Communication | Monitor & Control |
-
“Project Stakeholder Management“, which has four processes:
- Identify Stakeholders: This process was originally in the communication management knowledge area.
- Plan Stakeholder Management.
- Manage Stakeholder Engagement.
- Control Stakeholder Engagement.
-
Removed process :
