Welcome back to the PMLL Blog!
With the posting of PMLL podcast #170, we find ourselves at the end of the 47 processes that constitute the primary content within the Fifth Edition (5e) of the Guide to the Project Management Body Of Knowledge (PMBOK).
So, it makes sense to provide you with an initial list of all the PM Lessons Learned Podcasts that you need to study for the "Processes" portion of the Project Management Professional (PMP) Exam.
Remember, that on 31 JUL 2013, the basis of the PMP exam changed to the Fifth Edition (5e) of the PMBOK. There are 47 processes that you need to know. The list below provides pointers to the PMLL podcasts and the slides that we've been slowly working through; one hour at a time. You can also find the podcast on iTunes. However, iTunes does not provide you with the corresponding slides for each podcast. So download the slides along with the podcasts on each of the links to archive.org in the list below or go to the Monthly PMP Exam Call File area in the PMLessonsLearned Group in Yahoo Groups and download the slides.
Thanks to all of you that hung in there for this portion of the PMLL PMBOK 5e podcasts to finish. This content changed significantly from earlier editions. So be very careful that you know the source of your study material.
I noticed that many of you are still downloading PMLL PMP Study Group material from earlier editions of the PMBOK. The Fifth Edition material is all you need! Downloading the Fourth Edition and Third Edition material will only confuse you.
At this writing, you can safely ignore PMLL PMPExamPrep Podcasts #147 and below. There are a few podcasts below #147 that I will update with the very minor changes that will bring them up-to-date for the Fifth Edition.
Remember, the Internet is a big place. If you choose to use study material from another source, make sure you know its PMBOK base. Now that July 31, 2013 is behind us, you should only use material based on PMBOK Fifth Edition. For PMLL, that's podcast number 148 and above. You should remember, there’s roughly about a 50 % difference from the Fourth Edition to the Fifth Edition and it’s mostly in the knowledge groups, the processes, and their ITTOs. There are still evil people out there that will sell you material from the Fourth and even Third Editions of the PMBOK. If the material or website doesn’t explicitly say its material is based on the Fifth Edition, leave it alone. Please, be careful out there.
Here are a few that are always good to know:
PMLL 0070 Building Critical Knowledge Mass and Testing Techniques (PMPExamPrep)
PMLL 0101 Panel Discussion - I think I Want To Become A PMP! Now What do I do!?! (PMPExamPrep)
PMLL 0123 So You Want To Be A PMP PMPExamPrep
Here are the PMLL Podcasts for the PMBOK 5e:

PMLL 0149 PMLL Project Stakeholder Management – Part 2, PMBOK 5e (PMPExamPrep)

Sad News: Barbara Fuller
It is with a heavy heart that we are sorry to report the passing of one of the founding members of our PMlessonsLearned.com group. Barbara Fuller passed away this past Monday, January 5,2015. On the "About PMlessonsLearned" page on our website, you will see her listed as one of our founding members. You'll also see the many PMlessonsLearned.com conference calls that she participated in (and the podcasts). We've listed several of them below.
Henry Will, founder of our group, has the following to say about Barbara,
"Barbara was an inspiration to me in establishing the PMLL group. Not only did she support me, she also contributed wholeheartedly to the initial work to make the group become a reality. Barbara also gave her input to continually improve our group. I also volunteered with her in the local PMI New Jersey chapter. At one point, I suggested and initiated work for a Project Management Cruise for the New Jersey Chapter. The goal was for Project Managers to learn how to improve their professional work in a fun, relaxing, and social setting. Due to my other commitments, I wasn't able to do the work to make it happen. Barbara showed up to some initial meetings, took the lead, and made it happen. She was also a fellow Christian believer which brought us even closer. She will be sorely missed. I know she's in a better place due to her faith."
Several PMlessonsLearned.com members have already expressed their sadness at the loss. We take this time to memorialize the vibrant life of Barbara Fuller.
Here is a list of some of the memorable contributions that Barbara made to this group:
- Barbara was instrumental in developing our goal on our website: The goal of this group is to Empower Project Managers, and people studying for the PMP test. Increase PM Knowledge; Build Business Relationships; Increase your effectiveness; Increase your marketability; Gain Professional Support
- Thursday, October 16, 2008 PMLL Episode 0049 "Don't Just Capture Lessons Learned – Set them FREE!!!" (PM Best Practices)
- 16Aug2007 PMLL Episode 0019 "How to DO Lessons Learned on your project"
- 21Jun2007 PMLL Episode 0015 Managing Virtual Project Teams (Panelist)

PMLL Podcasts Will Be Coming Faster
24 DEC 2014
Hello,
Many of you are aware that we have been slowly working our way through the 47 processes that make up the bulk of the Project Management Body of Knowledge or PMBOK.
Our goal was to start with the Knowledge Areas with the most change and work ur way to the Knowledge Areas with the least change. We are there now. In the PMBOK Fifth Edition, the Project Risk Management and Project Integration Management Knowledge Areas contain the smallest amounts of new information. That's why we are doing them last. More than half of the content in PMLL podcasts 167 and 168 is not new (covering the Project Risk Management Knowledge Area).
I'm hearing from many of you that you'll be sitting for the PMP exam in the first few months of 2015, So rather than make you wait until April 2015 for me to finish all 47 processes, we decided make things happen quicker.
We will forego the live PMLL Lessons Learned Monthly PMP Exam Study Groups calls.
I recorded the new portions of the Project Risk Management Knowledge Area and tonight released PMLL podcast #168 just two weeks behind PMLL Podcast #167 (and without a live conference call).
I'll start the same for the Project Integration Management Knowledge Area and release those podcasts during January 2015 (also without live conference calls).
I'll schedule the next live conference call for 5 FEB 2015. Instead of drowning you in fast talking presentations, we'll do it as a Question & Answer session on any of the material in the PMBOK.
So, I hope this will help everyone prepare that much faster.
Happy Holidays and Happy Studying!
Regards,
Dana Safford
PMLL Monthly PMP Exam Study Group Instructor

5 Good Questions that Project Managers Ask the Team
I recently had someone ask me for some tips on getting a project executed.
I learned this (and relearned this) on projects I've worked on. These are important questions to ask those who are performing the tasks on the project.
- Schedule: Here is your lists of Tasks. Will you still be able to get these done in the durations listed and in the timelines scheduled?
- Dependencies: For your tasks that are listed here, is there anything that would prevent you from starting (or finishing) on time?

The iTunes issue is fixed!
Hi There,
Well, it took a while, but we finally figured out why our podcasts were not posting to iTunes. iTunes now contains all the PMBOK Fifth Edition podcasts (numbers 146 through 160).
To make-up for the delay, I'll tell you that a few of the older podcasts that contain material that is still valid for the PMBOK Fifth Edition.
While we created these podcasts for an earlier version of the Project Management Book of Knowledge (PMBoK), the concepts and all of the content are still valid for the PMBOK fifth edition.
Using each of the urls below, you can either listen to the podcast on the Internet Archive or scroll to the bottom-right of the page and right-click the .mp3 file to down load it.
66 - Brain Dumps
70 - Building Critical Mass and Test Taking Techniques
79 - David Radkovich Discusses Earned Value Method
88 - Project Selection Techniques
111 - Project Basics
122 - Professional and Social Responsibility
Thanks for your patience while I learned a lot about rss feeds.
