Thrilled to Share a Milestone! The PMBOK® Guide, 8th Edition – Is Here!!!
After nearly two years of collaboration with an exceptional team, I’m honored to have served as one of the 12 core contributors and co-authors of the PMBOK® Guide – 8th Edition Development Team.
For many in our field, the PMBOK® Guide is the cornerstone of project management practice and education. I began my career and graduate studies with the 5th Edition in hand, fast forward almost 15 years later and having the opportunity to help shape the 8th Edition feels surreal.
This edition introduces a holistic approach to value delivery by connecting:
Why (Principles)
How (Performance Domains)
When (Focus Areas)
One of the most exciting evolutions is the emphasis on Mindset, a proactive, ownership-driven, value-focused perspective. Today, successful project management isn’t just about tools and techniques; it’s about empowering teams to deliver meaningful outcomes.
A heartfelt thank you to Jesse Fewell for outstanding leadership and to Josh Parrott, MBI for unwavering support. And to every member of this incredible team, your insights and dedication made this journey unforgettable.
Proud of what we’ve accomplished together and excited for the impact this edition will have on the future of project management!
Thanks to my co-authors, its been a pleasure working with you:
