We all know that the 3rd Edition comprises only 39 processes whereas the 6th Edition has 49 processes as compared to the 47 processes that are listed down in the 5th Edition. Processes that we renamed in the 6th Edition Since the aspiring project management professionals need to know the changes that were introduced in the 6th Edition, it becomes essential for them to learn the key differences between the 5th and 6th editions. Therefore, the exams that have been conducted after March 2018 have been completely based on this edition.
