PMBOK 6 will contain a new chapter on the role of the project manager which discusses the PMI Talent Triangle and the skill sets organizations demand that make project managers more competitive and relevant-technical project management, leadership, and strategic and business management.Change request is a key topic to know if you are preparing for the PMP exam.

The Agile concept is incorporated in all 10 knowledge areas.
