On this page
Use this page as the coverage map for the new PMP-2026 exam. On PMExams, the guide is organized around PMI’s new official domain weighting table for the exam version that begins on July 9, 2026.
New PMP 2026 domain weighting
People:33%
Process:41%
Business Environment:26%
Chapter map
People covers shared vision, conflict management, team leadership, stakeholder engagement, expectation alignment, knowledge transfer, and communication.
Process covers integrated planning, scope, value delivery, resources, procurement, finance, quality, schedule, and closure.
Business Environment covers governance, compliance, issues, risk, improvement, organizational change, external change, and broader business-environment impacts.
Responsible AI, sustainability, and broader enterprise context are cross-cutting signals. They matter when the scenario makes them relevant, especially inside Business Environment and parts of Process and People.
How to study from the new weighting
spend the most time in Process, because it is still the largest domain
give Business Environment much more attention than on the current exam, because its weight rises sharply to 26%
use People to sharpen the alignment, communication, and leadership judgment that still anchors many scenarios
