PMBOK Errata - Errors in the PMBOK Guide and their corrections

PMBOK Errata - Errors in the PMBOK Guide and their corrections
By Cornelius Fichtner, PMP
Believe it or not, but there are errors in the PMBOK® Guide 3rd Edition. That is why the PMI has made available two PDF documents with errata information. These sheets used to be readily available on the PMI website. However, the PMI redesigned their website in August 2007 and since then these files are no longer available. We have received a copy of these sheets from the PMI and are making them available for our students:
Before you download these PDF documents, please verify what version of the PMBOK Guide you are using so that you only use the correct errata sheets. Here are the instructions from the PMI:
Since the PMBOK® Guide—Third Edition was published in October 2004, there have been two errata sheets. The first pertained to the first printing of the book (or CD-ROM). The second errata sheet pertains to all printings up to the current (fifth) printing.
In order to determine the print run of your book, refer to the bottom of the copyright page (which precedes the Notice page and Table of Contents). You will see a descending numerical string of numbers beginning with 10. The first printing of the PMBOK® Guide—Third Edition will show the numerals 10 through 1. With each subsequent print run, the lowest numeral is removed from the string. Therefore, if your copy of the PMBOK® Guide—Third Edition has all 10 numerals, you have the first printing and you will need both errata sheets.
10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 (needs first errata sheet and second errata sheet)
10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 (needs second errata sheet)
10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 (needs second errata sheet)
10 9 8 7 6 5 4 (needs second errata sheet)
10 9 8 7 6 5 (needs second errata sheet)
And here are the two errata sheets:
