Vidya has explained the concepts related to PMP very nicely. Though this was written for PMBOK 5th edition, I found it suitable for PMBOK 6th version to a great extent.
#PMP HOURS SPREADSHEET SIMULATOR#
I purchased Cornelius Fichtner’s PMP simulator (#ad) along with his PMP Formula & Maths guide (#ad).įew years ago, I had bought PMP Maths book authored by Vidya Subramanian (#ad). During weekends & holidays I devoted more time for the studies. I used these books for clarification of concepts which I didn’t quite understand from PMBOK. In Rita’s book, the process chapter & Procurement Management is explained well. Kim’s book book is organized Process Group wise instead of Knowledge Areas (as is in PMBOK guide). I must say that I found Kim Heldman’s book more suited to my taste than Rita’s book as the former has explained concepts in pretty much detail. This is a very useful support group for any PMP aspirant.
I made use of your student support LinkedIn group, and am thankful that you resolved all of my questions on PMP topics. In addition, I referred Rita’s book (#ad) and Kim Heldman’s book (#ad) as supplementary resources.Īlso, I needed someone to guide me with questions about PMP topics. With it, patience is the name of the game. On plenty of occasions PMBOK can confuse you though. My primary resource was PMBOK guide – which I read 3 times, cover to cover.Īlthough it is not an interesting or easy read I felt that this it is necessary for me to study.
I figured that by intently focusing on these 4 areas I can prepare for the exam without leaving anything to chance. It is basically a carefully chosen set of books, simulators, and study support group, along with focus on (and practice of) application of concepts to real project management scenarios. I am confident of getting opportunities as I am now geared up for higher challenges.Īlso read: Colette shows how she went from working in PM role to actually working as PM at PMI! Can you share your PMP study plan template? The benefit which I expect from PMP certification is better consideration for the new job opportunities. Now that you are PMP certified, what are your expectation? What I mean by this is that PMP exam is not just a test of your knowledge but also the application of it in a short period of time with many unknowns. I find it similar to a T-20 Cricket match – where within 20 overs you need to score at an average of 8 to 9 runs per over. Truth be told, PMP has its own charm as it tests not only your conceptual knowledge but how you can apply that knowledge to a given project management situation and act. First I got Prince-2 certified, and then took up PMP. This year I decided to put my head down work towards the certifications. But I kept the strong inclination towards achieving the PMP credential alive. Due to the crazy working hours and long official tours I was not able to pursue. I aspired to become PMP certified since long. In this post he bares the approach, tools and techniques, and strategies he used to pass the PMP certification exam. Having been Prince2 certified he wanted to polish his project management knowledge with PMP certification.
