PMBOK 8 EP01 Tailoring Changes Everything

PMBOK® Guide – Eighth Edition changes how PMI expects project managers to think — and tailoring is at the center of it.

In this first episode of our PMBOK 8 series, we break down what actually changed, why PMI made the shift, and how tailoring now drives real project decisions.

PMBOK 8 is not about memorizing new rules or following rigid templates.
It’s about learning how to choose the right approach based on project context — something experienced project managers have been doing for years, but PMI has now made explicit.

In this video, you’ll learn:

Why PMBOK 8 exists and what problems it’s solving

How PMI evolved from PMBOK 6 to PMBOK 7 — and what PMBOK 8 fixes

What “tailoring” really means in practice (not theory)

How PMI expects you to make decisions instead of following checklists

Why this shift matters for real projects and the PMP® exam

This episode sets the foundation for the entire series and explains the mindset PMI is now testing — not just the terminology.

If you’re a project manager, PMP® candidate, or PM leader navigating hybrid delivery, changing requirements, and real-world constraints, this series is built for you.
