PMI members can view the Exposure Draft here ed.pmi.org and scan Append X1 for a summary of changes.

Hi Mike. I find it amazing that in 2011 with such widespread adoption of agile methods, a document that represents the body of knowledge for project managers barely acknowledges its existence and certainly does not make any serious attempt to integrate it or even describe it as an alternative method. I also care passionately about this, and cannot understand why it is not being addressed more seriously. A while ago I wrote a post where I showed how iteration management, which embodies a lot of the agile methods, could be incorporated quite easily within one particular section of PMBOK. Although this is still not extensive, simply acknowledging this and incorporating iteration management as one way of managing project execution would be a huge step forward in my view.
