In the sixth edition we find instead a new chapter that deals with the <strong>role of the project manager<\/strong> and its functions.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to this, the skills and competences that a project manager must possess are now aligned with the so-called <strong>Triangle of Talent<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>It is not enough to have technical skills, but due to the dynamism of the working environment and the evolutionary trends in the sector, it is necessary that the project manager possesses also additional skills. The most relevant include:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Strategic and corporate management<\/strong>: It is necessary to understand the progress and the functioning of the company business in order to adapt the project to it. The project manager must therefore possess the skills to <strong>analyze the competition, the market,<\/strong> know the legal implications, business models, etc.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Leadership skills<\/strong>: In the fifth edition of the PMbok, this skill is already explained, but the new edition gives it more emphasis. Among the leadership skills, we find emotional intelligence, <strong>problem solving, team building<\/strong> and the ability to influence and motivate the team;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Technical skills<\/strong>: This refers mainly to the sector in which a person works and the specific skills required for the project.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a name=\"knowledge\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>\u00a0The sixth edition of the PMbok: The knowledge areas<\/h2>\n<p>In the fifth edition of PMbok 10 areas of knowledge were listed.<\/p>\n<p>These still remain in the sixth edition, but two appear with new names, as specified in the following list:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Integration Management<\/li>\n<li>Scope Management<\/li>\n<li>Time Management is replaced by <strong>Schedule Management<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Cost Management<\/li>\n<li>Quality Management<\/li>\n<li>Human Resource Management is replaced by <strong>Resource Management<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Communications Management<\/li>\n<li>Risk Management<\/li>\n<li>Procurement Management<\/li>\n<li>Stakeholder Management<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Why these two changes?<\/p>\n<p>The new term <strong>Resource Management<\/strong> refers not only to the human workforce, but also to the physical resources (such as materials, equipment, licenses, etc.) that can be part of a project and contribute to its success.<\/p>\n<p>Time Management has been replaced with <strong>Schedule Management<\/strong>, so that the importance of <strong>project management planning<\/strong> is emphasized.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-9863 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/twproject.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/the-sixth-edition-of-the-PMbok-630x420.jpg\" alt=\"the sixth edition of the PMbok\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" srcset=\"https:\/\/twproject.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/the-sixth-edition-of-the-PMbok-630x420.jpg 630w, https:\/\/twproject.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/the-sixth-edition-of-the-PMbok-1130x753.jpg 1130w, https:\/\/twproject.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/the-sixth-edition-of-the-PMbok-1500x1000.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/twproject.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/the-sixth-edition-of-the-PMbok-705x470.jpg 705w, https:\/\/twproject.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/the-sixth-edition-of-the-PMbok-450x300.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Moreover, in the sixth edition of the PMbok, each area of knowledge has four additional sections:<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, in the sixth edition of the PMbok, each area of knowledge will have four additional sections:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Key concepts;<\/li>\n<li>Tailoring considerations: they must help to focus on the important processes of a project depending to its size and, of course, on the scope of work;<\/li>\n<li>Developments and new project management practices;<\/li>\n<li>Focus on <strong>the Agile\u00a0 and adaptive Methodology<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a name=\"three\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><strong>PMBOK sixth edition: The three new processes<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong>The sixth edition of the PMbok<\/strong>\u00a0lists 49 processes, 2 more than the last edition.<\/p>\n<p>In reality the changes to the processes are 4 because the three processes have been added while one has been eliminated.<\/p>\n<p>The<strong> Close Procurement <\/strong>process has been removed. This refers to the closing of vendor contracts, a task that in most organizations is not performed by the project manager.<\/p>\n<p>Among the new processes added we find:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Manage Project Knowledge<\/strong>: born from the need to process the data of the market and the business in which the company operates to transform them into knowledge and &#8220;wisdom&#8221; on which certain decisions will be based.

Therefore, implementing the risk response in the management of the project is a necessary addition;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Control Resources<\/strong>: this new process refers to the monitoring and control of the various resources present in the project and is aligned with the modification, seen previously, in the area of knowledge from human resources.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><a name=\"processes\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><strong>PMBOK sixth edition: 6 changes in existing processes<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>6 processes are renamed in the <strong>current PMbok edition<\/strong>, even if their content remains unchanged:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Perform Quality Assurance becomes Manage Quality.<\/li>\n<li>Plan Human Resource Management becomes Plan Resource Management.<\/li>\n<li>Control Communications becomes Monitor Communications.<\/li>\n<li>Control Risks becomes Monitor Risks.<\/li>\n<li>Plan Stakeholder Management becomes Plan Stakeholder Engagement.<\/li>\n<li>Control Stakeholder Engagement becomes Monitor Stakeholder Engagement.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>From Perform Quality Assurance to Manage Quality.
