PMBOK® Guide 8: What People Got Wrong

In this episode, Ricardo discusses the main misunderstandings about the eighth edition of the PMBOK Guide. He explains that the PMI has not abandoned traditional management nor transformed everything into agile, but has begun to integrate predictive, hybrid, and adaptive approaches in a more intelligent way. Ricardo emphasizes that governance, cost control, scheduling, and leadership remain essential, but are now applied in more complex and dynamic environments. He also clarifies that artificial intelligence appears as a support tool, not as a replacement for human leadership. Another important point is that no framework solves cultural problems or management failures on its own. According to Ricardo, the new PMBOK seeks to connect execution and value creation, reducing conflict between methodologies and encouraging adaptation to the real context of projects.
