What is the PMP Exam Content Outline (ECO)?
Short answer
The ECO is PMI’s published list of domains and tasks used to build the PMP exam. Download the current version from PMI.org and map every study week to it.
Detailed answer
Third-party summaries cannot replace the official ECO PDF. Use it to build a coverage checklist, allocate hours by domain, and audit mock mistakes. When PMI updates the outline, refresh your plan: especially around 2026 transition messaging.
Who this applies to
Every PMP candidate at the start of preparation.
