I couldn't help but to share this post for the following reasons!! Firstly, this post is quite helpful for the new PMP aspirants for preperaration. Pierre has concisely & comprehensively highlighted the PMP exam prep steps. Secondly, being the President of PMI himself, he has endeavoured to become a PMP which shows his will power, resilience & of course enthusiasm. And the additional reason is-the Cerfitificate Recipient & Issuer is the same person! I found it witty & interesting! Last but not the least, having attending several courses, training & exams, I find PMP exam is still one of the most competing, stressful & tough exams maintaing quality, standard & depth. Surely, this will motivate & push the new PMPs a step ahead. #pmi #pmp #projectmanagement

I've been asked quite a few times by friends, colleagues and even an Uber driver how to pass the PMP exam (You will be surprised how many IT gurus are driving Ubers as side gigs). My "secret", just like any other PMP holder, is to set up a PMP mindset. PMP is definitely getting more complicated after endorsing Agile frameworks, but it’s still manageable given that millions of dollars are spent practising it worldwide with a promising return. Step 1️⃣ , forget about what you think Project Management is about (only for the exam). I see PIMBOK as the best-case scenario, which might not apply to real-life implementation. Real-life crises such as resource constraints, risk of overrun budget, and toxic work culture, often don’t allow PMs to apply the full practices. However, the PMI exam is all about testing paper knowledge. Forgetting about my personal experience gave me more brain capacity to understand PMI processes theoretically and connected the dots where I left at my previous projects. There were many moments when I was suddenly enlightened, “That’s why we did it like that!” Step 2️⃣ , be a proactive communicator. Regardless of how much Elon Musk hates meetings, PMI still believes face-to-face communication is the most powerful tool for problem-solving, collaboration and effective information sharing. Being a proactive communicator doesn’t mean asking for help from sponsors, ELT, or the Product Owner. It means, -      Don’t take action right away, learn more about the situation first -      Always work with the team no matter what -      Collect enough information from the document or people to understand the root cause Step 3️⃣ , It might sound politically wrong (and it probably does), but hey, I’m a result-oriented type of person. If you are too busy to study comprehensively, I highly recommend spending the last week only on mock exams. You’ll be amazed how much PMI materials can be absorbed by learning from your mistakes. But still, mock exams will give you a better shot but not a promising rate to pass. My career started with managing/facilitating to manage projects so many processes I’ve already known and finishing the whole video training from Udemy provided better guidance on how to become a basic/typical PM: -      To identify requirements   -      To address needs, concerns & expectations -      To set up, maintain and carry out communications -      To manage stakeholders -      To balance competing project constraints 🔥 Hope it helped. If you have more questions feel free to ask and good luck with your PM ladder！

One of the more important steps in preparing for the PMP exam is to schedule your exam date as soon as you meet all the eligibility requirements. This step will give you a specific date toward which you can work. Now you have a deadline - a big red "X" on your calendar -, and this will motivate you in your studies. If you don't have the date scheduled, you can always find excuses for not studying and delaying things. But having the date in your mind and calendar will drive you to study regularly. Now that you see your exam approaching, here are a few good study activities: Read the PMBOK® Guide. Read it twice. Because the PMP exam is based mainly on the PMBOK® Guide contents, it makes sense to know what it says. However, the PMP exam requires far more than just recounting facts. You can't just memorize the PMBOK® Guide and pass the exam. You must understand how each of the 49 PMBOK® Guide processes, along with their inputs, outputs, and tools and techniques, would be applied in real-life project situations. So an excellent way to enhance your studies is to apply the concepts you learn from the PMBOK® Guide to your projects right away. Next, read the Agile Practice Guide. This publication from the PMI provides tools, situational guidelines and an understanding of the various agile approaches available to enable better results. Since 50% of the PMP exam will represent agile or hybrid approaches, it is important to be knowledgeable about agile. Then, read the PMI Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct, and as with the PMBOK, read it at least twice. Think of project scenarios for each topic that will be more meaningful and help you remember the concepts as you study the Code. Learn how each section in the Code is different and why each is necessary for the project management profession. And lastly, don't forget to discuss project management topics with others to learn the material. We suggest finding a local or online study group and meeting with them as you study for the exam. #PMP #PMPexamPrep #projectmanagement
