Preparing For The Project Management Professional (PMP) Certification Exam

Preparing For The Project Management Professional (PMP) Certification Exam, 9780814408599 (0814408591), AMACOM, 2005

This book has been written to help those preparing for the Project Management
Professional Examination. It is aimed at those who want to learn project management
methodology. It is not intended to be a drill in exam questions; there are
more than enough of those around. It is intended to cover all of the material that the
Project Management Institute (PMI) considers important enough to be included in the
exam. This book has been revised to reflect the changes in the Project Management
Professional Examination put into effect as of the third quarter of 2005 and reflects the
Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge, Third (2004) Edition.

I have been working in the field of project management for the past thirty years and
was managing projects long before that and long before there was a methodology called
project management. Once I began to consider project management as a profession and
a disciplined methodology, it became clear to me what had gone wrong with some of my
projects in the past.

From that point on I began applying the tools and techniques of project management,
and slowly the unification and completeness of the methodology became clear.
Project management works as a unified body of knowledge, but all of the tools and
techniques depend on one another to succeed. You cannot do a good job of cost estimating
if you have not developed a good set of deliverables for the project any more than
you can produce a good schedule without taking the time necessary to develop good
estimates of the task durations.
