This session will provide Chapter members and friends with insight into the upcoming PMBOK Seventh Edition, which is becoming Principle and Performance Domain based. It will also give attendees a glimpse of the new “Standards Plus” product, the UX of which is in beta test on a small subset of content. A responsive web site that will run on computers, tablets and phones, it will wrap videos, infographics, documents and templates around PMBOK content. In preparation for the session, look for articles on ProjectManagement.com in the Critical Path Blog.
