I find following mistakes in PMBOK5 updated till date

Formatting Error

1.     List of Tables and Figures---- but list elaborate sequentially first figures then after tables, hence either heading should be – List of Figures and Tables or below sequence is to be corrected.

Typographical / Technical Error

2.     Page 53 fig 3-3, ----- In between, Enterprise/organization and Customer , -- Teaming agreements is written, ---- this term is now not relevant with the main content of Knowledge Area (section 12), or in other words it is wrongly  written here. It should be removed from here or any suitable change is required.

3.     Page 53 fig 3-3 – like that stake holder management strategy is also non-relevant. 

Like that P421 fig A1-2 is a repetition. These flow diagrams are not revised wrt to changes in pmbok5.

Pure Technical Errors

4.     Page 40 fig 2-2 ------ graph line of cost of change should be upward convex shape in place of upward concave shape. For more understanding see, the fig 8-7—Pareto Diagram of this book.

Graph line will ascend with respect to time but its curvature will not be upward. It will be downward like Pareto Chart of fig 8-7. Because cumulative cost baseline always shows a S pattern, while changes of cost will initially be higher and later on will be lesser as the time will move, hence in no case its shape will be upward- concave and infinite.

5.     Also I do not find comfortable the table 2-1, it may be more clear by changing few words of cells – of column one- row 3  and row 6.

 Col 1 / Row 3 - In place of resource availability – Resource Availability to Project work.

Col 1 / Row 6 - In place of project management administrative Staff – Staff available for projects

It would be more close to real sense.

Presently meanings of these rows are not synced with others.

Technical Error:

1.     Figure 3-5 P59 and Figure X1-1 P 467 are showing little contradictory information - project communication versus manage communication and manage project team.

Regarding work performance reports both figures are not synchronized with 47 processes’ flow diagrams or its input /outputs. These are showing work performance reports are input to develop project management plan or project management plan, while in 47 processes directly or indirectly work performance reports are not the input for project management plan.

Every where OPA is input to planning group processes, but this OPA neither having WPR or PD-updates.

2.     In fig 6-10, P 158, Notation shown SS – 15 days (Lag),   is wrong and contradictory with fig 6-11 P160 and also 1^st paragraph of P159. It should be SS +15 days (Lag) in place of SS – 15 days (Lag)
