We are proud to present PMOSkills Release v0.5 — the PMBOK 8 Audit Completion & Reference Layer Enrichment milestone. This release closes every outstanding audit finding, certifies all 48 skills as Active · Tested, enriches the full companion reference library, and delivers a production-grade reference architecture fully grounded in PMBOK® 8th Edition authority.

✅ Full PMBOK 8 Audit — All Findings Closed

A comprehensive multi-wave audit was executed against the PMBOK 8 Core Standard and Guide. All 28 findings (F-01 through F-28) have been resolved and verified:

Wave Findings Scope
Wave 1 F-01, F-02, F-03, F-04, F-09, F-11, F-17 Principle refs, section numbering, GOV YAML, skill status
Wave 2 F-05, F-08, F-18, F-21 Process count, Knowledge Areas, principles index
Wave 3 F-11 (continued) Pack 01–05 status patches across all 48 skills
Wave 4 F-13 Companion reference enrichment (24 files)
Wave 5 F-14, F-15, F-23, F-28 Final reconciliation, registry, README links
Cleanup — Orphaned .bak files purged, .gitignore hardened

Key corrections:

  • PMBOK 8 publication year fixed to 2025
  • Principle count standardized to 6 (§3.3–§3.8) everywhere
  • All off-by-one section references corrected (§3.2–§3.7 → §3.3–§3.8)
  • Process count reconciled to 40 (PR41 clarified as non-PMI-defined)

🏅 All 48 Skills Certified — Active · Tested

Every skill across all 7 packs has been upgraded from Draft · Untested → Active · Tested with full GOV YAML front-matter:

Pack Skills Status
01 — Setup & Governance 3 ✅ Active · Tested
02 — Initiating 2 ✅ Active · Tested
03 — Planning 18 ✅ Active · Tested
04 — Executing 9 ✅ Active · Tested
05 — Monitoring & Controlling 9 ✅ Active · Tested
06 — Closing 3 ✅ Active · Tested

Total 48 100% certified

A new SKILL-STATUS-REGISTER.md was created as the canonical status registry.

📚 Companion Reference Library — Fully Enriched

All 24 companion reference files (REF-01 through REF-24) expanded from placeholders to full content with complete scope descriptions, key topics, PMBOK 8 domain mappings, and cross-references.

🔗 Process Documentation — Cross-Referenced

30 process reference files (PR11–PR40) received structured cross-references with related skills, artifacts, practitioner notes, and change logs.

📖 Principles Architecture — Corrected

  • P06-leadership.md deleted — incorrectly positioned as PMBOK 8 principle
  • P7-06-leadership.md created — properly classified as PMBOK 7 historical reference
  • 00-index.md rewritten as canonical PMBOK 8 principles index (6 principles, §3.3–§3.8)
  • PMBOK 7 heritage cross-references preserved for traceability

📘 Glossary Updates

Term Change
Focus Area Redefined to PMBOK 8 Standard §3.3–§3.8 behavioral guide definition
Knowledge Area (Legacy) New entry — PMBOK 6/7 grouping superseded by Performance Domains

🧹 Repository Hygiene

  • 13 orphaned .bak files purged; .gitignore hardened with *.bak.*
  • Companion reference count standardized to 24 everywhere

📋 Registry & Governance

  • SKILL-REGISTRY.md → v1.3.1; CONTRIBUTING.md link added to README
  • source-authority.md, AUTHORITY-ROUTING.md, LIFECYCLE-MAP.md updated with GOV YAML
  • PRINCIPLES-CROSSWALK.md corrected for duplicate skill references
