What this means◦ A recently completed Role Delineation Study (RDS) provided an updated
description of the project management professional role.
◦ Research included a large-scale survey of global Project Management Professional (PMP)® certification holders to validate updates to domains, tasks, knowledge, and skills.
◦ The RDS captures perspectives of project management practitioners from all industries, work settings, and regions. It serves as the foundation for the PMP exam and ensures its validity and relevance.
