What is new in PMBOK Edition 5. (New Additions in Edition 5 as compared to Edition 4)

Submitted by garg.058 on Sat, 12/29/2012 - 05:49

Hi Folks, 

I just downloaded my official copy of PMBOK editon 5. This edition will be available to non members from Jan 2013.

Here a quick overview of the updates in Edition 5:

• A 10th Knowledge Area has been added; Project Stakeholder Management expands upon the importance of appropriately engaging project stakeholders in key decisions and activities. 

• Project data information and information flow have been redefined to bring greater consistency and be more aligned with the Data, Information, Knowledge and Wisdom (DIKW) model used in the field of Knowledge Management. 

• Four new planning processes have been added: Plan Scope Management, Plan Schedule Management, Plan Cost Management and Plan Stakeholder Management: These were created to reinforce the concept that each of the subsidiary plans are integrated through the overall project management plan. 

Thnx

ravi

Hi,


I'm also the member of PMI, but PMBOK 5th shows me the cost of approx 45USD. Have you downloaded the book by free or paid ?
