December Newsletter
|
|
In July 2026 the PMP Exam will change. It not the big a change in topics to learn as some trainers are claiming, but lots of small changes to content, the application process, and exam. On the topics side, specific coverage of how to work with remote teams is reducing as this becomes the norm and new coverage around sustainability and AI are being added.
|
The changes may seem large with the Business Environment domain growing from 8% to 26%, but do not fret, it is mainly a reshuffle. Topics such as managing change and managing risk that are currently in the Process domain will be moving into the Business Environment in the new ECO. So, nothing new to learn, just now these concepts fall into a different domain.
|
You can read a full account including changes to the experience, qualifications, question counts, question types, exam timings, etc. on this dedicated 2026 ECO page.

Larger Question Banks and More Questions per Quiz
|
|
You may have noticed, the end of topic quizzes used to earn progress tracking badges are getting bigger. They are being updated to require scoring 4/5 questions correctly, whereas before the passing grade was 3/3.
|
|
|
Statistically this is no harder, but it provides a better coverage of all the topics per module. The question pool sizes have increased also, so there is less chance of getting any of the same questions if you retake a quiz a couple of times. So, less ‘test-wise’ learners and more accurate evaluation.

Website Enhancements
Page transitions have been added to the site to show when content is loading. This should give users a visual indication that something is happening, and to wait a moment for the content to load.
|
|
|
|
Scroll depth bars – each page now has an orange scroll depth bar that shows where you are in the page length of content. For visual people, it can provide a percent-page-complete type view to show progress.
|
|
|
|
Each content page now contains an interactive mind map of key concepts. You can click to expand and drill down into the core ideas of each project manager task.
|
|
|
|
These interactive maps also show the structure of how elements relate to each other and fit within larger concepts. From a learning perspective, creating a spatial representation allows people notice patterns, and see structure more easily. It frees up working memory, and supports learning.
