PMP new exam domain weighting (verify with PMI)
Direct answer
Domain weights are defined by PMI in the official Exam Content Outline. Do not rely on third-party percentages for scheduling decisions. Download the current ECO from PMI and map your study hours proportionally.
Three exam domains (high level)
People: leadership, teams, conflict, stakeholders. Process: scope, schedule, risk, quality, delivery. Business Environment: compliance, value, governance, benefits.
Official PMI exam structure, domain weights, and post-9 July 2026 format details must be verified against current PMI publications before treating any figure as final.
