On 1 November 2015 your PMP exam will be changing to align with the current status of the project management profession.
If you’re taking your exam after November 1, you’ll need to prepare for 8 entirely new tasks found across domains 1-to-4. To save you from searching the PMP Examination Content Outline, here they are…
Domain 1 – Initiating the Project
- Task 2
- Identify key deliverables based on the business requirements, in order to manage customer expectations and direct the achievement of project goals.
- Task 7
- Conduct benefit analysis with stakeholders (including sponsor, customer, subject matter experts), in order to validate project alignment with organisational strategy and expected business value.
- Task 8
- Inform stakeholders of the approved project charter, in order to ensure common understanding of the key deliverables, milestones, and their roles and responsibilities.
Domain 2 – Planning the Project
- Task 13
- Develop the stakeholder management plan by analysing needs, interests, and potential impact, in order to effectively manage stakeholders' expectations and engage them in project decisions.
Domain 3 – Executing the Project

Please note: this is not the finalised version of the PMP examination content outline. The proportion of questions from each domain that will appear on the exam has not as yet been determined.
The knowledge and skills associated with these domains and tasks will be forthcoming. PMI state that this information will be available no later than 15 June 2015.
