| 327 of 345 people found the following review helpful:  An almost necessary evil, By Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge: (Pmbok Guide) (Paperback) Starting off, I'm a certified PMP. I went through the process, memorized everything PMI wanted me to memorize, and passed the test. That said, this book isn't worth the paper it's written on. The good: - You have to memorize the PMI project management process step by step, as a lot of the test questions involve what comes next, what comes first in this phase, etc. This book does go through all the steps one at a time, with some description. - It makes a good paperweight or looks impressive on a bookshelf. The bad: - It must have been written by aliens, come to earth to mess with aspiring project managers through developing the most unreadable reference book ever. - Many of the charts and graphs just aren't that high quality - as if they were done by a child in crayon then translated to digital - It is very expensive, and doesn't help you actually pass the exam. - Minor changes from the third edition - but you'll be tested...

The good: By studying just this book and the free online tests, you can pass the PMP test (I did). For an experienced PM, the definitions and calculations are not difficult to learn (learn = memorize). The bad: Much of PMBOK deals with process input, tools, techniques, and outputs. The organization of these makes them extremely difficult to learn. There is no overall construct that integrates them and brings them all together to make them easy to learn. My understanding is that some paid courses organize these better than the PMBOK and provide either mnemonic devices and/or better diagrams / charts. My strategy: - Read the PMBOK. - Underline definitions, key words, and input, tools, techniques, and outputs. - Memorize the underlined info. - Practice the calculations. - Take the online tests.

Its intention is to serve as a guide to the body of knowledge within the project management community and as practiced by members of the profession. There is no single document that contains the project management body of knowledge. Indeed, some of it is not published at all but, rather, is simply recognized as good practices and norms within the profession. This body of knowledge is growing every day. The PMBOK Guide is not intended to be used to learn project management or project management concepts. It's especially not intended to teach or suggest PM techniques or methodologies. It's not a "how to" book nor is it a description of a methodology. It's a standard, not a methodology. PM professionals and the organizations they work for can use the PMBOK Guide as a guide for developing their own methodologies or for creating organization standards. It's particularly important to... Read more |
