A few weeks back I had an agent reconciling a vendor list. It ran clean. No error, no crash, output looked right. Then I noticed it had merged two suppliers that share a parent company into a single row, which would have thrown off every spend rollup downstream by a real number.
I stopped it and fixed it by hand. Not because anything alerted me. Because I'd been burned by that exact shape before, and the burn taught me something a tutorial never did.
I'm telling you this because on July 9 the PMP changes, and the change points straight at that moment.
What changed in the exam
For the first time, the PMP makes AI mandatory content instead of an elective. The Business Environment domain goes from 8% of the exam to 26%. PMBOK 8 becomes the base. Fees climb in August.
