PM Lessons Learned Monthly PMP Exam Study Group: Podcasts for the 47 PMBOK 5e Processes

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
