Customer Reviews

excellent reader's disgest version of PMP

I am happy to report that I passed my PMP test on the first try. I studied Francis's book, and PMBOK for 5 consecutive weeks in addition to taking several practice questions from Phillips, Rita, and Heldman's book. You can probably get as much as 60-80% of the necessary knowledge to pass the test from Fracis' and PMBOK guide alone but will most definitely need to study/review other sources even if you have extensive managerial experience. Francis' book gets to the point and reviews the main concepts not covered in the PMBOK namely professional responsibility, and conflict resolution. This book is fairly an inexpensive option over the other books out there. Good luck to all future test takers. Regards, Jose Fajardo, PMP

A Great Test Prep Resource

This Exam Cram makes it very easy to understand the Five Process Groups and relevant Knowledge Areas with Core and Facilitating Processes. It was this focus on the Process Groups, the phases that one takes when performing an actual project, that more clearly helped me to understand application of the Knowledge Areas and where they fit in.Although undoubtedly the PMBOK is the "BIBLE" of the PMP Exam and a resource without which no one should consider taking the actual exam, I found it to be too focused from the Knowledge Area perspective. I feel in contrast that the Exam Cram's Process Groups approach helped to round out my perspectives and gave me a better overall understanding of the subject matter.Although not the only source of study for the PMP Exam, I found that with the application of the PMBOK, the PMP Exam Cram 2, ESI's The Portable PMP Prep, and Mulcahy's PM Fastrack Exam Simulation, the subject matter was easily demystified and the test became a very achievable task that I passed without the use of any preparatory seminars.

I Passed

I just passed my PMP and don't think I would have without this book. I literally crammed for my exam. I was having a very hard time digging through the PMBOK and this book sorts it out by project phases vs. knowledge areas which I found very helpful. I will be sharing my copy with all my friends who are studying for the PMP.

Studying for PMP exam????

I think you will find this book very helpful.I am currently studying for the PMP exam and I found this book of great value in preparing for the test. The authors discussion of project management in the IT world is right on the money.

I passed the exam with flying colors!!!!

Book follows the look and feel of the exam. Neatly encapsulated paragraphs of pertinent information, entitled "Alert" makes review easy. Book can be downloaded onto a computer and reviewed on the road. Great investiment.
