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!
