Project management has evolved significantly over the years, and so has the PMBOK Guide! In this episode of Project Management Masterclass, we take a deep dive into the fascinating journey of the PMBOK—from its first edition in 1996 to the game-changing shifts in the seventh edition.

I share my personal experiences with PMBOK, from navigating my early days as a rookie project manager to adapting Agile and hybrid methodologies. We explore how the guide has transitioned from rigid process-driven frameworks to principle-based approaches that prioritize value delivery, adaptability, and leadership.

If you’re a seasoned project manager, this episode will help you appreciate how far we've come. If you're new to the field, understanding this evolution will empower you to manage projects more effectively in today's fast-paced world. Plus, I discuss what’s ahead for the upcoming eighth edition and why staying updated is crucial for your professional growth.

🔹 Key Takeaways:
✔️ How PMBOK has evolved from process-based to principle-driven project management
✔️ The impact of Agile, Lean, and hybrid methodologies on project success
✔️ Why value delivery matters more than just completing tasks on time and within budget
✔️ Lessons learned from my personal journey with PMBOK
