Highlights from Greta Blash's Session on the 2026 PMP Exam Updates

Chapter News

Preparing for the PMP exam is about more than memorizing processes. It's about learning how to think like a project manager.

That was one of the biggest themes from PMI-LA's recent webinar, The New PMP: Navigating the 2026 Material and Exam Updates, where Greta Blash of Facilitated Methods guided attendees through upcoming changes to the exam while sharing practical strategies for approaching questions with greater confidence.

Preparing for the New Exam

Throughout the session, Greta explained how the PMP continues to evolve alongside the profession. Attendees learned about the latest exam updates, what to expect from the revised content, and how to build a study plan that prepares them for today's project management landscape.

Rather than focusing on memorization alone, the discussion emphasized understanding how PMI expects project managers to evaluate situations, communicate effectively, and make decisions.

Practical Tips That Stood Out

Greta also shared practical test taking strategies that attendees could immediately apply.

One memorable takeaway was that communication is often the right direction when navigating stakeholder or team challenges. Another was that answer choices suggesting you simply ignore an issue can frequently be ruled out, helping candidates narrow their options more effectively.

Those were just two of many practical insights shared throughout the session.

Learning Should Be Enjoyable Too

The webinar also included a lighter moment when Greta introduced attendees to a project management themed song that has helped candidates remember key concepts while studying for the PMP. It was a fun reminder that learning doesn't always have to be traditional, and that finding study techniques that work for you can make the journey more enjoyable.
