Lots of JUNK on PMP Prep
04/23/2009 - 1:34pm

I love LinkedIn - it's an excellent source of information and online networking. However, I was reminded once again today that "buyer beware" is applicable to information browsing on the net and on networking sites.

A gentleman posted a discussion to many of the most popular project management gropus on LinkedIn, directing folks to a source of information to prep for the exam. I'm always excited about any information to help prep students. BUT, I quickly identified the site as one to avoid. Key giveaway? The author claims to have "successfully passed the PMP exam, 4th Edition."

That's very interesting given that the exam is not available yet. It is evident by the layout of the site and the prevalence of the "Google" ads, that he is hoping to make money with it. Unfortunately, it's at the cost of tainted knowledge. A closer review of the content did reveal a number of inaccuracies.

Are you ready?? PMBOK 4th Edition is here!
04/14/2009 - 8:07am

Released on December 31, 2008, the new edition (the 4th) of the PMBOK has been updated and revised.

IMPORTANT: The PMP exam will change to the 4th Edition as of July 1, 2009. The CAPM exam follows shortly on August 1, 2009.

Passionate PM recommends that candidates for either exam do not use 3rd Edition materials as the sole source to study for the 4th Edition exam.

At first glance, it may not appear that the changes are significant. In fact, I've even seen the changes called "cosmetic". However, when it comes to the exams, the changes may be more than cosmetic in nature. Studying PMBOK 4th Edition is pretty much like reading the PMBOK for the first time!

The processes (now 42 of them) have had changes to their Inputs, Tools & Techniques, and Outputs (ITTOs).

Summary of Changes

The process names are now consistently in a verb-noun format (i.e. Define Activities)
