PMBOK and Agile

The previous versions of the PMBOK Guide were mainly created for predictive projects. As adaptive methods became more popular, more information about adaptive systems was bolted onto the PMBOK Guide, but it was never truly integrated. Since the 7th edition was written from scratch, we had the opportunity to make it truly compatible with both approaches.

Some people say that the 7th edition “has become Agile”, which is wrong! It hasn’t “become Agile”, but it has become fully compatible with both approaches, or has become approach-agnostic, if you will.
