Paul Valéry, Leonardo de Vinci, and others have been credited with variations on this statement: “Written works are never finished, only abandoned.” We realize that OGPMC is not finished. We need to make the book more self-contained, bring it up to the latest PMBOK version, and fix more errors. We do not know yet what those errors are but we are sure they are there! Please help us find those errors by reporting them to Cheryl Scott at cts@chalkinstitute.org.
