What's New in PMBOK® 8th Edition? Presented by the PMI Tallahassee Chapter
The PMBOK® Guide just got a major upgrade — and if you hold a PMP or you're working toward one, this is the conversation you cannot afford to miss. Join us on May 21st from 12–1 PM as PMI Tallahassee brings together PMI Authorized Training Partners and seasoned practitioners for a real, unfiltered panel discussion on everything that changed, why it matters, and exactly what it means for you.
Bring your lunch. Bring your questions. Leave ready.
Let's be honest.
When PMI drops a new edition of the PMBOK® Guide, the noise starts immediately.
LinkedIn posts. Blog articles. Hot takes from every corner of the profession.
But what you actually need isn't more noise —
You need clarity. You need context. You need people who've been in the field telling you what this really means.
That's exactly what we're bringing you.
🎯 What's This Event About?
What's New in PMBOK® 8th Edition? is a free, virtual Lunch & Learn panel hosted by the PMI Tallahassee Chapter — and it's designed to cut through the clutter and give you the real picture.
The 8th Edition isn't just a revision. It represents a continued evolution in how PMI thinks about project management — blending principles-based thinking with practical application across predictive, agile, and hybrid environments.
Whether you're a certified PMP, actively studying, or a practitioner navigating project delivery every day — this session was designed for you.
