What you will learn

The PMBOK® Guide only summarizes or lists Project Management framework and context topics in Chapters 1 and 2. The entire book is basically a reference book for the PMI project management standard. It is not oriented toward learning the material. For this reason, the class covers each framework, context, standard, and knowledge area topic in detail with information from the source reference materials used to create the exam. General knowledge that the project manager is expected to know through experience and prior training is covered, so that the course is comprehensive in preparing you to take the test.

Note: PMI is the owner of the registered trademark for Project Management Professional (PMP/CAPM) (PMP,CAPM)®

Why take this course?

Major corporations are adopting A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK® Guide) 5th Edition, from the Project Management Institute, and the related Project Management Professional (PMP) Certification, as the primary sources of competency in the field of Project Management.

Market research indicates that employers want to hire project management practitioners who have real experience leading and directing projects. To better meet this need, PMI is incorporating in the certification application process the requirement to document experience leading and directing the various tasks required in effective project management. In addition, PMI is placing increased emphasis on situational questions in the testing process for the PMP Certification to better evaluate applicant skill in actually using their PMBOK® Guide knowledge. This has made the PMP Certification test harder than it was in the past, and increases the value of preparation course work prior to taking the test. This course, along with the review of materials and repeated practice testing, will more than adequately prepare student to take the PMP Certification Exam. For those individuals who cannot qualify for the PMP Certification Exam, this course will amply prepare them to sit for the CAPM Certification Exam.

What's nice about this course is that, although some specific formulas will require memorization, the bulk of this is intuitive knowledge or knowledge I have gleaned from my work. It's a comfort that not all of these lectures are completely foreign concepts, while also challenging me with just enough new information.

As someone who has taught classes I am very aware that the material is being presented in dry tone. It appears to be done all in one attempt, with some prepared notes as illustrated in the last course showing an error in right clicking the slide. It fundamentally relies on power point slides with definitions. It is very heavy in the abstract, even when real world examples could help to drive the position home. For example, when presenting regulators as stakeholders in insuring a better process, a common interaction most people have is in building codes. Using the example of construction project and then follow up with regulations. The course then went into Bureaucracies as an abstract form, but this could have progressed into law enforcement or even FBI examples, which people are familiar with. I just watched one segment where they discuss statistical scattering of data (variance, std, averages) by equations only, without the context of data points in a scatter plot. It felt a bit bizarre.
