PMBOK8 synthesizes value system thinking, leadership, culture, and technology. The next version of RMVOC is an attempt to synthesize the 6th edition (structure), the 7th (philosophy) with the addition of manufacturability (AI).

PMBOK8 has its own focus on different areas:

1 Sustainability Integration – for the first time as a separate principle and a constant topic in domains.

2 Digitalization and AI – represented by a standalone application with use cases (risk prediction, data analysis, assistants). In my opinion, somewhat speculative, we’ll see.

3 The principle of evidence-based tailoring emphasizes the need not to blindly follow a standard, but to adapt to realities, which has long been talked about by practitioners.

4 The return of the process approach – Process Groups – with an emphasis on flexibility.

5 The emphasis on value, culture and leadership remains.
