Background – The Project Management Institute (PMI)® performs a “Role Delineation Study (RDS)” periodically, every 5 to 7 years . The goal of this study is to identify what are the project managers around the world doing in their current projects and the changing trends and practices in project Management and it updates the content of the exam as per the result of the study. After the most recent RDS, PMI now has a list of tasks that the project managers perform, as well as the knowledge and skills required for the job and upgraded the exam syllabus for PMP certification and that is why there is an upgrade in PMBOK® Guide as well which is the single most important publication by the PMI® for PMP® Certification aspirants to study and prepare for the PMP® Exam.
