EPISODE SUMMARY:

In this episode, I break down the big announcement from PMI: a brand-new PMP exam is coming in 2026.

Every time this happens, the internet freaks out…
But you don't need to.

I walk you through what's actually changing, why these updates are good for project managers, and how you can stay ahead no matter when you plan to sit for the exam. I've been through multiple PMP exam changes over the years, and I can promise you: we adapt, we adjust, and we win.


KEY TAKEAWAYS:

✔️ 1. No, the sky isn't falling.

PMI updates the exam every few years. I've seen it happen multiple times. Project management hasn't suddenly changed overnight — we just get a new way of talking about the same core skills.

✔️ 2. The new exam goes live in July 2026.

There's a pilot in January 2026, and the global rollout hits in July.
Translation: you have plenty of time.

✔️ 3. Here's the simple ECO shift I mentioned:

Current Exam:

  • People — 42%

  • Process — 50%

  • Business Environment — 8%

New 2026 Exam:

  • People — 33%

  • Process — 41%

  • Business Environment — 26%

The biggest jump is the Business Environment domain — and honestly, I'm thrilled PMI is finally giving this the weight it deserves.

✔️ 4. AI + value delivery are officially part of the future.

PMI is leaning into:

  • AI-supported project work

  • Strategic decision-making

  • Value delivery

  • Real-world adaptability

These are things I already teach in my program. The new exam finally catches up to what's actually happening in modern projects.

✔️ 5. You're already ahead of the curve.

My training is real-world focused. I teach the skills project managers actually use. So whether you take the current exam or the 2026 version, you'll be prepared. I'll make sure of it.


WHO THIS EPISODE IS FOR:

  • Anyone studying for the PMP right now

  • Anyone planning on taking the exam in 2025–2026

  • PMO leaders preparing their teams

  • Anyone who feels nervous about PMI's update
