PMI released the first PMBOK® Guide in 1996 and since then it has become the global standard for project managers.

For the fourth edition, the project team made several improvements. The first was the inclusion of project documents, such as issue logs, duration estimates and resource requirements, to aid project managers in project execution.

Another noticeable change, says Cynthia Stackpole, PMP, project manager for the update, was the combination of the change request, corrective action, preventive action and defect repair groupings into one heading called “Change Requests.”

“Our goal was to bring about clarity and have the specific planning process outputs serve as inputs to developing the project management plan and not the other way around,” she says.
