PMs know excellence is a journey, not a destination. Dedication to their craft sets them apart from their peers; excellence and professionalism combine for maximum impact. The 2017 PMI-SVC Professional Development Day offers you a variety of educational opportunities to sharpen your skills and earn 6 PDUs. What a great way to learn and maintain your certification!

Project Sponsorship - They can make or break a project. Learn how to improve your relationship to continuously delight your sponsors, providing them what they need, how they want it, and when they demand it. 

Risk Management – "RISK" should not be a 4-letter word. Professionals actively evaluate these opportunities to mitigate their potential negative impact while maximizing the positive outcomes. 

Open Communications – We all know that 90% of project management is communications, but what comprises that 90? Improve the content and timing of your communications to help your project and career flourish.  

In 2018, the PMP®, CAPM® and PMI-ACP® exams will change to align with PMBOK® Guide – Sixth Edition and the new Agile Practice Guide, which serves as a reference. Information for each exam can be found in the appropriate Exam Content Outline (ECO) on PMI.org. (Please note the ECO will not change for the PMP® Exam). Beginning 26 March 2018, the PMP exam will reflect content from the PMBOK® Guide – Sixth Edition. Exams administered before 26 March 2018 will reflect the PMBOK® Guide – Fifth Edition. On 26 March 2018, the PMI-ACP® exam will also be updated to reflect the new Agile Practice Guide.

These updates will ensure the exam content is consistent with the PMBOK^® Guide.

As a result of the release of the PMBOK^® Guide – Sixth Edition in September 2017, the PMP exam will change 26 March 2018. 
You must test and pass the exam by 25 March 2018 if you want to test on PMBOK^® Guide– Fifth Edition.  Many test sites may be crowded in March 2018.  Be prepared and test/pass early.
