9. The Journey (PMBOK 6.0)

10. The Journey (Jan 2021)
The structure of the exam will no longer be based on the Project
Management Process Groups. Instead, the exam will be structured
around these three domains, and in these proportions:
• People (42%) – about leadership of your project team
• Process (50%) – about the technical aspects of project management
• Business Environment (8%) – about the link with organizational
strategy
The examination will split approximately 50:50 between traditional
predictive project management (as per the PMBOK Guide) and Agile or
hybrid approaches (set out in the Agile Practice Guide).

11. The Journey (Jan 2021)
Three Domains Vs. PMI Talent Triangle

12. The Journey (Jan 2021)

13. The PMP® ECO
• Domain: The high-level knowledge areas that are essential to the practice of
project management.
• Task: The underlying responsibilities of the project manager within each domain
area.
• Enabler: Illustrative examples of the work associated with the task.
13
Domain Percentage of Items on Test
I. People 42%
II. Process 50%
III. Business Environment 8%
Total 100%

14. The Journey (Jan 2021)
Domains, Tasks and Enablers
• People (42%)
• Process (50%)
• Business Environment (8%)

16. The Journey (Jan 2021)
The examination will split approximately equally between
traditional, predictive project management (as per
the PMBOK Guide) and Agile or hybrid approaches (set out
in the Agile Practice Guide). And predictive, agile, and
hybrid approaches will feature in questions across all
domains and tasks. PMI is clear that the future is as agile
as it is planned, and that its exam must balance the two
approaches equally, as will its PMPs.
