Errors in the PMBOK Guide, 5th Edition

Harwinder

If you are preparing for PMP or CAPM exam, please be aware of the errors in the PMBOK Guide, 5th Edition. PMI has published the official Errata list here:

https://www.pmi.org/PMBOK-Guide-and-Standards/~/media/PDF/Standards/PMBOK_Guide_5th_Errata_2ndPrinting.ashx

Unfortunately, the official errata does not list all the errors. In reality, there are far more errors in the Guide than what is listed in the Errata. I'm compiling a list of such errors and would post the "Super Errata" for PMBOK Guide, 5th Edition soon. Stay tuned ...

If you have spotted any errors in the Guide, please reply to this post and share it with the community. Thanks in advance.

The errata appears to be for the 1st edition. The 2nd printing appears to have the noted errata changes in place. I only verified the first 3. Of course as Harwinder suggests, there may be more correction items to be found.

@wimhof that's correct. Thanks for pointing it out. As the document says at the beginning, the errata is for "first printing" only, and it also tells you how to identify which print you have. In my case, I have the first print.

I'll try to cleanup my notes and post the other issues I've identified so far. Someone would have to confirm whether those issues exist in the second printing too.

Someone eh? ok. I just did the verification that the 2nd printing has the errata changes mentioned incorporated.

As for any others that you (or others) find, I can verify vs. 2nd printing.
