5. Approach for Updating Guides
Directives Review Board has not met in about five months.
PM plans to publish new and updated guides as handbooks as a temporary path forward.
PM will not cancel guides but will encourage projects to use the more current handbook.
Handbooks will reside on PM MAX.
PM published two handbooks in April 2017.
