What's new content is kept in order of when it happened.
1-5-2023: The Project Management Institute updated the PMP(R) Exam Prep materials as of 1/5/2022. If you are within 12 months of the purchased date of your Prep book from SmartPath LLC, the updated version can be downloaded today on your computer. The Agile Manifesto was added, along with emphasis on the principles of project management, and of course, they have continued the emphasis on delivering organizational outcomes which include the business values and benefits of both tangible and intangible, for both short and long term. The rearrangement on the Authorized Prep book is more consistent with the Logical Flow of a project and it still aligns to the ECO (Exam Content Outline) as do SmartPath LLC's Workflows which assist with exam visibility and are provided in digital format to our trainees at no cost to them. These workflows continue to assistant project managers with more detail aspects of project implementation, and fill in any foundational project management gaps that a trainee might have.
8-6-2022: PMI says we should not see another exam for about two more years since it only changed in Jan 2021. The PMP Exam is ONLY aligned to the PMP(R) Exam outline, nothing else, and it can test you on any best practice within the Exam outline. Their Authorized Prep book covers exam areas. The PMP(R) Exam is unrelated to the PMBOK(R) Guide

When the PMBOK(R) Guide, Seventh Edition August 2021 there were no changes in the PMP(R) Exam outline, so the PMP Exam will not change in 2021. You may be surprised that the PMP(R) Exam is aligned to the PMP Exam Content Outline (ECO), and not the PMBOK(R) Guide. In the meantime, the PMP(R) Exam Outline will change continuously based on industry best practices through any exam period. Keep your eye on the changes within the current exam outline.
