Relationship between
Project Management Principles
& Project Performance Domains
6 Major
Changes
 (1)
PMI has shifted from process
based standard to principle
based standard
 The principle statements capture and summarize generally
accepted objectives for the practice of project management
and its core functions. The principle statements provide
broad parameters within which project teams can operate
and offer many ways to remain aligned with the intent of
the principles.

This shift begins with a systems view of value delivery as

part of The Standard for Project Management and
continues with the presentation of the PMBOK® Guide
content

PMI has shifted from process based standard to principle based standard
Project Management Principles
1. Be a Diligent, Respectful, and Caring Steward
2. Create a Collaborative Project Team Environment
3. Effectively Engage with Stakeholders
4. Focus on Value
5. Recognize, Evaluate, and Respond to System
Interactions
6. Demonstrate Leadership Behaviors
7. Tailor Based on Context
8. Build Quality into Processes and Deliverables
9. Navigate Complexity
10. Optimize Risk Responses
11. Embrace Adaptability and Resiliency
12. Enable Change to Achieve the Envisioned Future State

• A systems focus for value delivery changes the perspective from
one of governing portfolios, programs, and projects to focusing
on the value chain that links those and other business
capabilities to advancing organizational strategy, value, and
business objectives.
• In the context of project management, The Standard for Project
Management and the PMBOK® Guide emphasize that projects
do not simply produce outputs, but more importantly, enable
those outputs to drive outcomes that ultimately deliver value to
the organization and its stakeholders.

PMI Shifts from knowledge area to performance domains

 A performance domain is a group of related activities that
are critical for the effective delivery of project outcomes.

This systems view reflects a shift from the Knowledge Areas

in past editions of the PMBOK® Guide to eight project
performance domains.

Collectively, the performance domains represent a project

management system of interactive, interrelated, and
interdependent management capabilities that work in
unison to achieve desired project outcomes.

Collection and Summary of
Models, Methods, and Artifacts
 A new section on Models, Methods, and Artifacts provides
a high-level grouping of models, methods, and artifacts
that support project management.

This section maintains linkages to tools, techniques, and

outputs from previous editions that support project
management without prescribing when, how, or which
tools teams should use.

The creation of PMIstandards+™
 the creation of PMIstandards+™, an interactive digital
platform that incorporates current, emerging, and future
practices, methods, artifacts, and other useful information.

The digital content better reflects the dynamic nature of a

body of knowledge. PMIstandards+ provides project
practitioners and other stakeholders with access to a richer
and broader range of information and resources that can
more quickly accommodate advances and changes in
project management.

The content explains how specific practices, methods, or

artifacts apply to projects based on industry segments,
project types, or other characteristics.

This standard provides a foundational
reference for stakeholders participating
in a project. This includes, but is not
limited to, project practitioners,
consultants, educators, students,
sponsors, stakeholders, and vendors
Examination Content Outline (ECO)
ECO (2015)
ECO (2021)
The Project Management Institute (PMI) jealously
guards the reputation of its premier qualification, the
Project Management Professional (PMP). So it regularly
updates the standards and how it assesses them. And
now we’re about to see major PMP exam changes, from
1 January 2021.
ECO (2021)
The structure of the exam will no longer be based on the Project
Management Process Groups. Instead, the exam will be structured
around these three domains, and in these proportions:
• People (42%) – about leadership of your project team
• Process (50%) – about the technical aspects of project management
• Business Environment (8%) – about the link with organizational
strategy
The examination will split approximately 50:50 between traditional
predictive project management (as per the PMBOK Guide) and Agile or
hybrid approaches (set out in the Agile Practice Guide).
ECO (Jan 2021)
The PMP® ECO

• Domain: The high-level knowledge areas that are essential to the practice of
project management.
• Task: The underlying responsibilities of the project manager within each domain
area.
• Enabler: Illustrative examples of the work associated with the task.
