We all know by now that PMBOK Guide – Sixth Edition is coming out in the Q3 of 2017. As per the latest from PMI, PMBOK 6 will be published both online and in print in American English and 10 additional languages.

But the below abstract from PMI website interests us the most!

Agile comes to the PMBOK® Guide

The Sixth Edition of our flagship standard and body of knowledge, The PMBOK® Guide, is scheduled for publication later this year.

New to the Sixth Edition, each knowledge area will contain a section entitled Approaches for Agile, Iterative and Adaptive Environments, describing how these practices integrate in project settings.

Detail on agile and other adaptive and iterative approaches will also be included in an appendix.

Other content enhancements include:

– More emphasis on strategic and business knowledge, including discussion of project management business documents.

– Information on the PMI Talent Triangle™ and the essential skills for success in today’s market.
