– Ch.3 (“the standard”) moved to an annex
– New knowledge area: Stakeholder Management (ch.13)
– Four Planning Processes were added: Plan Scope Management, Plan Schedule Management, Plan Cost Management and Plan Stakeholder Management. (This change brings back the Scope Planning process from the Third Edition and adds three new planning processes.)
