Project Management for Development Professionals

Overview: Very few persons can walk into the PMP Certification Exam and pass it without considerable preparation. In fact, the PMI recommended exam preparation references total nearly 4300 pages of reading! In order to achieve certification, candidates must master the content of the PMBOK™ Guide and understand how it fits into the PMI terminology and context, and be able to apply the knowledge quickly and accurately.

This course will assist participants to master the reference materials and prepare them for the PMP Certification Exam. The course summarizes the contents of all of the recommended test preparation texts within the context of the PMBOK Guide, and it fully addresses all of the topics covered in the PMP Certification Exam.

Participants will master the PMI framework for their existing knowledge, will identify and acquire missing knowledge, and will have multiple opportunities to test the application of their knowledge through sample questions. In short, this course prepares applicants to pass the PMP Certification Exam by reminding them of what they know, educating them on what they do not know, and putting the whole into appropriate context. These benefits extend to anyone in an organization who needs a broader understanding of project management.
