PMI Statements About Changes in PMBOK® Guide 6th EDITION (PMI Video)

• New Content in Knowledge Areas

• In Integration Management add “Manage Project Knowledge” e.g. Lessons Learned
• In Scope Management focus on relationship between Project Manager and Business Analyst
• In Quality Management replace “Perform Quality Assurance” with “Manage Quality”
as most of the time the quality department is outside the project team
• Renaming of Knowledge areas:
• Project Schedule Management, as time cannot be managed 
• Project Resource Management, generalized to consider all types of resources
• Extension to Risk Management to consider overall risk for the project, non only event driven
risk to connect to programs and portfolios and add “Implement Risk Responses” to ensure
implementation of agreed-upon risk responses
• More international consideration in Project Procurement Management
• Shift to “Monitor Stakeholder Engagement” as stakeholders cannot be controlled
