A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK^® Guide)—Eighth Edition and The Standard for Project Management represent the most data-driven and community-informed update in the guide’s history.

Building on the long-standing legacy of PMI, the Eighth Edition retains the principles and performance domains foundation of the Seventh Edition, but simplifies and clarifies them to be more actionable, blending mindset, technical, and practical guidance to reflect how project management is practiced today. It includes:

• Six core principles that influence effective project management behavior
• Seven performance domains that represent key areas of practice
• Expanded coverage of AI, PMOs, and procurement, with reintroduced process guidance presented in an evolved, non-prescriptive way.

Together, these updates connect the why, what, and how of project management.

Whether you manage traditional initiatives or lead agile transformations, the PMBOK^® Guide – Eighth Edition provides clarity, relevance, and confidence for modern project delivery. For more, visit: https://www.pmi.org/standards/pmbok
