Simple PMP

by Phil Martin

The PMP exam is the golden standard for project management professionals, but let's face it - it’s tough to stay conscious when reading the PMBOK. This book is the antidote. Everything you need to know to pass the PMP exam is included. It is literally 1/3 the size in volume compared to some of the more popular tomes out there. All that fluff has been removed and boiled down to the straight facts, plus enough glue to bring it all together so that it makes sense. Those uber-fancy terms and run-on sentences have been removed so you can quickly understand what is being said, instead of having to reread the same sentence 3 times. This book has been updated for the PMBOK Guide Sixth Edition, which includes all sorts of greatness over the previous edition including the following * An updated PMI's Talent Triangle * A focus on schedule instead of time * 3 new processes have been added * 1 process has been removed * 'Monitor' is the new 'Control' * An increase in the number of ITTOs * A recognition that agile methodologies now rule the planet Enjoy a fun-but-serious way of learning the PMP material, which includes some great mnemonics on memorizing knowledge areas, processes and process groups.

About the author

I grew up in the creative cauldron of nineties Manchester when Madchester rocked the charts and the Hacienda ruled clubland. The city has shaped me as a writer. I write thrillers and crime based on the fine folk of Manchester and Salford. The Little Girl Lost trilogy has however developed into an international thriller taking in Manchester, Morocco, London, Barcelona, Monza, Zurich, Moscow, Chechnya, Batumi and... Milton Keynes.

I listened to this book via Audible.

Phil Martin does a good job of breaking down the PMBOK into easily understandable sections. I enjoyed his narration and way of organizing the vast array of content needed for the PMP exam. He also makes great use of examples to help reinforce the concepts and processes.

My rating of four stars is a bit tentative, as we'll have to wait and see if I get my PMP certification. I certainly wouldn't say this should be your only way to prepare for the exam, but it seems like a great addition to help reinforce the material.

I love this book! Hubby hated it. I read it multiple times before my Project+ test. Gives you the big picture and explains things in just the best way!
