Changes to the PMP Certification Exam – January 2016

更新：PMP考试更新已移至2016年1月11日，以使所有利益相关者有足够的时间为此更改做准备（来源：PMI）。

In June 2015, PMI published a new PMP certification exam content outline, and after January 11th, 2016, the PMP exam will be based upon the new exam content outline. (Earlier, the scheduled date for the change was November 1st, 2015).

这引起了PMP有抱负者的恐慌。

I have received many emails about these changes. Many think that if they do not pass the exam before January 11th, 2016, their efforts will be in vain and they have to start their studies based on the new syllabus.

更改后，许多PMP有抱负者的资格将不久后到期，他们担心如果失败，他们没有足够的时间来准备新格式。

同样，许多有抱负的人也有问题。

Therefore, I am writing this blog post to answer their queries. I believe I can clear up your doubts.

First, relax. It is not a major change in the exam, and the PMBOK Guide 5th Edition is still the exam reference. No tasks have been removed from the syllabus. So, whatever you have studied will be valid.

现在我们来到新内容。

当前的PMP考试内容大纲有34个任务，2016年1月11日之后，它将有42个任务；PMI添加了八项新任务。

这八个任务是：

域– I（启动）：将三个新任务添加到此过程组（任务2，任务7和任务8）。

域– II（计划）：执行过程组添加了一个新任务（任务13）。

Domain–III (Executing): Two new tasks were added to this process group (task 6, task 7).

域– IV（监视和控制）：此处添加了两个新任务（任务6，任务7）。

域– V（截止）：此过程组未添加新任务。

您可能认为这很多；但是，事实并非如此。在准备过程中，您已经研究了大多数任务。

For example, let’s look at one new task added to the monitoring and controlling process group:

“Capture, analyze, and manage lessons learned, using lessons learned management techniques to enable continuous improvement.”

Read this again and ask yourself, are you seeing this for the first time?

Although this is a new task added to the exam content outline, you were already aware of these tasks.

同样，大多数其他新任务并不全新，您已经在参考书和培训课程中阅读了它们：例如，精益管理，看板，Six Sigma, and ISO, etc.

因此，您不必担心考试内容并专注于考试准备。如果您在11月1日之前通过考试，对您有好处！但是，如果您不能在2016年1月11日之前通过考试，请放心，您的准备工作将是有效的，您可以舒适地进行考试。

一些新任务有蜜蜂n added but you can study most of the content with your current study materials and the rest can be researched on the internet. I would not recommend you buy any new books or attend the training again.

如果您参加了培训，并且earned 35 contact hours，它们对生活有效。

为什么需要更改？

The PMI updates its exam content based on the Role Delineation Study (RDS) every three or five years after consulting with stakeholders. The RDS process ensures that the course content remains updated. This procedure ensures the relevancy of the PMP certification and guarantees that it is good for you and the industry; therefore, instead of overthinking it, focus on your studies and pass the PMP exam.

Summary

I am not implying that you should ignore the added content. I am only saying that it is not a drastic change. Nothing has been brought out of the blue and added to the exam content, and you should not overthink it. I suggest you note down the added tasks and go through them to pass the PMP exam.
