Introduction
The LPI objectives go through 3 different life cycles during maintenance and creation. They are:
- addendum
- revision
- redo
Life Cycles
Addendum Life Cycle
- Period: quarterly (or as required)
- Announcement Schedule: none
- Interested Parties: authors and courseware developers
As exam candidates and courseware creators ask for clarification on the objectives, LPI published quarterly updates to the published objectives.
These addenda, if any, are published on a quarterly basis and have no impact on the exam contents.
Revision Life Cycle
- Period: 2.5 years
- Announcement Schedule:
- Final Version: 6 months prior to adoption
- Interested Parties: authors, courseware developers
Every 2.5 years, LPI makes revisions to the published objectives. There is no substantial change to the objectives. Instead, versions of covered technologies may change, some technologies may also be dropped. Very rarely will anything be added.
Redo Life Cycle
- Period: 5 years (or as required)
- Announcement Schedule:
- Community Feedback Version: 1 year prior to adoption
- Final Version: 6 months prior to adoption
- Interested Parties: everyone
Every 5 years, or as required (both sooner or later), LPI will fully update the exam published exam objectives. Almost anything can change (but doesn't), new technologies may be introduced or removed and a full Job Task Analysis is performed to identify new job tasks, technologies and reapportion the weighting of the objectives in the exam.
