Following on the heels of our previous two posts on Career Prospects with Project Management Professional® Certification and PMP Training respectively, we finally come to the subject of PMP® Tutorials to see what’s covered in these tutorials.

PMP® certification is a 4-hour long exam with 200 grilling questions. Throw in our busy schedules at work and it may seem like a daunting task. A well-structured PMP® tutorial taught by experienced instructors and a deep understanding of the PMBOK® Guide is mandatory for cracking the exam.

PMP Exam

Importance of PMBOK® Guide (Project Management Book of Knowledge) in PMP® Tutorials:

  • The exam is based on the PMBOK® Guide (Project Management Book of Knowledge) published by Project Management Institute (PMI)®.
  • The PMBOK® Guide is an ANSI standard guide and gets updated every four years.
  • The PMBOK® Guide lays the guidelines for Project Management and also identifies the best practices.
  • The PMBOK® Guide provides and promotes a common terminology within the project management profession for application on management concepts. The PMI® vocabulary provides the foundations for the professional terminologies that can be consistently used by project, program, and portfolio managers and other stakeholders. It is therefore imperative to understand them from the examination perspective. You can get a better understanding with the ITIL Course.

Areas covered in the PMP® Tutorial:

PMP Tutorial HierarchyThe PMP certification online modules are generally designed around the PMBOK® Guide.  While the Project Management in itself is divided into 5 Phases, the approach to study them is broken down in terms of Key Knowledge areas.

  • The PMP® tutorial courses usually start with the introduction of the Project Management Domains, Key terminologies and Organizational structures. It introduces the roles and responsibilities of a Project Manager. It also deals with the differences of Project, Program and Portfolio Management and how Project Management plugs into either of them. Once there is clarity around the fundamentals, the course delves into Key Knowledge areas in depth.
  • The Key Knowledge Areas is where PMI® really tests ones understanding of the Project Management Framework. The Edureka course is designed to help students easily grasp the key. Find out about our course structure.

  • PMP® preparation requires that one is focused on quality over quantity; therefore it is wise to keep it simple. Attend all the sessions delivered by your training institute.

    Yeah its a
    good article. According to you what we project managers do is communicating.
    And a lot of this communication is done during project meetings. It can
    sometimes feel like you are running from one meeting to another and that your
    time is often wasted. Meetings don’t start on time, the issues aren’t dealt
    with, there is no agenda, there is no focus, nobody assigns any follow ups or
    tasks and of course then they also don’t end on time. An efficient project manager is required for the good management of a project. I think a project manager should
    PMP certified.
