About the Book

This book offers you tools, techniques, tips, and other information to assist you in passing the PMP Certification Examination and becoming PMP certified. The emphasis is on reconciling your approach to the exam with PMI's viewpoint and perspective on the examination. This book is not a guide to general project management but rather a specific study tool aimed at distilling PMI's approach to project management as set forth in the PMBOK, Third Edition. Project initiation, planning, execution, control, and closing are the core topics in this book offered in parallel to those same key areas in the PMBOK.
