PMI is constantly reviewing its documents and exams for currency and applicability to today’s project management practices. The PMBOK Guide, Third Edition was released in 2005 as an update to the previous edition, the PMBOK 2000. There are several changes in the new edition. None of the changes are major, although the PMBOK has been slightly reorganized to better reflect current project management practices.
