Should I prepare for the new PMP after 9 July 2026?
Short answer
Yes: if you need more study time, missed the pre-transition window, or want to align preparation to the updated exam narrative PMI describes for post-9 July 2026.
Detailed answer
Post-transition preparation should emphasize situational judgment, professional responsibility, and modern delivery contexts (including agile, hybrid, and emerging themes referenced in updated PMI materials). Use scenario practice and mocks rather than memorization-only study.
Who this applies to
Candidates scheduling on or after the transition window who are not yet exam-ready.
