<br/><br/>
You may recall that the major outcomes of the PgMP® RDS include:
<ul type="disc"> 
<li> The three evaluations for the PgMP® credential, which include the panel review, the examination, and the Multi-rater Assessment (MRA), are being updated to reflect changes to the role that were identified in the study.</li> 
<li> The new RDS restructures the program management performance domains and tasks. </li> 
</ul> 

PMI recently updated their timeline for the exam change process:
<ul type="disc"> 
<li> The release date for the new PgMP exam has been changed from 1 January 2012 to 1 February 2012, providing candidates an additional three weeks to exam under the current structure. </li> 
<li> As with any credential exam update that results from a RDS, exam reports will not be available to candidates immediately after they take the new exam. Candidates who take the exam after 1 February will receive exam reports by the end of May. This delay is required in order to validate the new exam structure. Once the new exam structure is validated, candidates will again receive their results immediately after completing the exam. </li> 
<li> In order to implement the new exam efficiently, candidates will not be able to sit for the PgMP exam between 21 January and 31 January 2012. This period where the exam will be temporarily unavailable ensures Prometric facilities are appropriately administering the new PgMP exam across all testing centers globally on 1 February 2012. </li> 
</ul>

Communications surrounding this information will be released to PgMP candidates, training organizations and other stakeholders in the coming days.
