Purchased the book in preparation for taking the Project Managment Professional (PMP) exam through the Project Management Institute (PMI).

Pretty disappointed with the quality of the book as a whole. Not very informative and incredibly generalized. Would not be of much use as a standalone resource.

Core study guide for PMP (Project Management Professional) certification test. Much improved over previous versions with principles-based structure and separation for each Guide to PMBOK and Standard of Project Management. Use as both a reference and as cover-to-cover read for anyone who works on projects, not just those that lead them!

As a textbook, it's not particularly helpful. It covers the information contained in the PMP exam, certainly, but not necessarily in a way that would help you to pass the exam. It completely lacks in practice questions as well, which I feel is a major weakness.

เคยอ่าน PMBOK edition ก่อนปรากฏว่า edition นี้เป็นอีกรูปแบบที่ไม่คุ้นเคย แต่พอพยายามตั้งใจอ่านก็พบว่าใช้ได้เลยในวิธีการให้แนวทางความรู้ในการจัดการบริหารโครงการ ผมคิดว่าแสดงเนื้อหาเพื่อนำมาใช้ Integrate (บูรณาการ) ได้ดี ชอบแผนภูมิต่างๆ และส่วนที่เป็น 12 Principle และ 8 Project Performance Domain

This textbook is not written or organized well at all. It will not prepare you for the exam as a standalone resource. You are better off utilizing other study guides available on the internet and YouTube.

Quick review of the PMBOK as it had been probably 5-10 years since I looked at it. Definitely an essential resource for any professional project manager.
