Trying to beat the PMP Exam cutover date of 31 JUL 2013?


Use these PMBOK Fourth Edition study aids from PM Lessons Learned (PMLL) and be ready to pass the PMP Exam on the first attempt. Dana Safford, PMP, spent the last three-years providing the PMLL Monthly PMP Exam Study Group with PMBOK Fourth Edition study materials.

During the last week in December 2012, the Project Management Institute (PMI) released the Fifth Edition of the Project Management Body of Knowledge or PMBOK. On 31 JUL 2013, the Fifth Edition will become the basis for all PMP exams (original or re-tests). Other than last minute exam question & answer sessions, PMLL will not present further PMBOK Fourth Edition information during the PMLL Monthly PMP Exam Study Group. Instead we offer the sum total of almost four-years of PMLL Monthly PMP Study Group conference calls and podcasts.

If you are preparing to sit for the PMP exam before the 31 JUL 2013 cur-over date, then use either of the PMLL Study Streams: Knowledge Areas or Process Groups. The PMLL Knowledge Area Study Stream covers the horizontal Knowledge Areas and all of the PM and soft skills topics.  You will find the summary document for the PMLL Knowledge Area Study Stream at: http://archive.org/details/HenryWill_PMPPMLLPMBOKv4CompleteKnowledgeAreaView-PointTopicsSlideDecks_PMPExamPrep_/

The PMLL Process Group Study Stream covers the vertical Process Groups and all of the PM and soft skills topics. You will find the summary document for the PMLL Knowledge Area Study Stream at: http://archive.org/details/HenryWill_PMPPMLLPMBOKv4CompleteProcessGroupView-PointTopicsSlideDecks_PMPExamPrep_/

Both documents provide all of the slide sets and pointers to the podcasts from almost four-years of PMLL Monthly PMP Exam Study Group sessions.

On 2 MAY 2013, the PMLL Monthly PMP Exam Study Group will begin PMBOK Fifth Edition material.

Good luck to everyone preparing for the PMP Exam!
