The PMBOK® Guide – 8th Edition, a Compass, not a Cookbook

Webinar Overview (from IIL website):

The PMBOK® Guide has (almost) come full circle in just three editions. After the principle-heavy shift of the 7th Edition left many project managers asking, “But what do I actually do?”, the 8th Edition brings back a way to frame the framework—through processes, process groups, and ITTOs (Inputs, Tools, Techniques, Outputs)— but without heavy prescription or pretending every project needs to live in a Gantt chart.

In this webinar, we unpack what really changed, why PMI corrected course, and what it means for PMP® exam aspirants and modern project managers juggling hybrid delivery, AI, business outcomes… and reality.
