It is important to remember that the PMP exam is not based up the PMBOK® Guide, as many people think. It is based on the tasks captured in the regularly updated role-delineation study (RDS)
undertaken by PMI.
We strongly recommend downloading the latest version of the PMP Examination Content outline from PMI and studying these tasks. You can download a copy from the PMI web site at
www.pmi.org/certification/project-management-professional-pmp.aspx
. This site also has the latest information about all aspects of the exam and eligibility.
