PMI exam development processes stand apart from other certification programs. PMI aligns its processes with the certification industry’s best practices such as those found in the Standards for Educational and Psychological Testing. The PMP ® certification is also accredited against the internationally recognized ISO/ANSI 17024 standards and ISO 9001 .1  \nA key development requirement for a fair and reliable certification exam is an analysis of the job being assessed and a market assessment of standards and industry practices. Given that the PMP is a global certification, PMI conducted a job task analysis (JTA), which included a criterion-referenced approach to assessing candidates.  \nWith the emergence of several trends in the profession previously unaddressed in the PMP certification exam, such as artificial intelligence (AI), and sustainability, it was critical that PMI evaluate the impacts of these trendson professional practice expectations. These trends were used as inputs into the JTA to validate their relevance and correlation to tasks included in the PMP certification exam. Validation ensures that each exam measures the most critical and frequently performed elements of the project management profession in terms of realistic work settings and ways of working identified as likely to lead to project success.  \nThe PMP ","cbCailERs3ifgpWL","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCailERs3ifgpWL","pdf",1418156,23,"English","# Introduction\n# Exam Content Outline\n# Domains, Tasks, and Enablers\n## Domain I People\n## Domain II Process\n## Domain III Business Environment\n# PMP Certification Eligibility Requirements\n# PMP Certification Exam Information\n# Taking the PMP Certification Exam\n# Retaking the PMP Certification Exam\n# Acknowledgments\n# Continuing Certification Requirements (CCR) Program\n# Resources","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of PMI’s job task analysis for the PMP exam?\",\"answer\":\"PMI uses job task analysis and a criterion-referenced approach to assess candidates fairly.
