Cons: Many grammatical and spelling errors. The book would benefit from a thorough proof read and revision. Some of the terminology used does not match the PMBOK 5th edition. For example: The book references 'administrative PMO' - this is not a type of PMO. There are several other misleading terms throughout this book. I would recommend reading the PMBOK and completing the required course work before using this book as a supplemental reference.Pros: I purchased this book after I completed my required course work. I found this book to have excellent, well explained examples. The book is well organized. The examples and terminology breakdown makes complex concepts much more digestible.
This book has inaccurate information in it. If you study this book in preparation for your PMP exam, you will learn the wrong information.I have been studying multiple books including the PMBOK 5 and this Dummies book should be taken off the market immediately. The Dummies book also includes incorrect words so the QA is not good. I was able to overlook some incorrect words but decided to toss my book when an answer to an exam question was incorrect. One question was about a type of PMO but the answer to that particular question was an "administrative PMO" according to the book's answer sheet. There is no such thing as an "administrative PMO". PMOs are Supporting, Controlling, and Directive. "Administrative" is not even a type of PMO. Do not buy this book folks. It's hard telling how much other information is incorrect. If I hadn't written in my book, I would ask for a refund. My book is sitting in my trash can right now.
Gives a lot of examples instead of just stating factoids. I need to put things into context and this books tells you how to remember all the processes and knowledge areas. Then i studied the PEMBOK guide book and it was a lot easier.
Don't buy the PMBOK, buy the PMP certification for Dummies. The first will put you to sleep, the latter will enlighten you by explaining the material in a very logical way with many, many hints and recommendations. This is not an easy subject, but with the "Dummies" book you can learn the material.
Some of the information is inaccurate. Some of the terms don't sync with the PMBOK 5th edition (i.e. Administrative PMO is listed, but does not exist in the PMBOK 5th edition). I recommend reading the PMBOK 5th edition completely and then obtaining other supplemental references (i.e. Rita Mulcahy's PMP Exam Prep 8th edition, PMP Cert Exam Prep by Sohel Akhter), etc....)
Great book easy to understand full of easy language. It is very descriptive and helpful. It is enjoyable too.Thanks
Effectively prepared me for the exam. The ITTO's were a big part of the exam, be sure to highlight them in the book.
This book is the key tool in my toolbox of PMP study resources.I can't recommend this book more strongly.Instead of teaching in some tortured language in a manner that makes the test impossible, the book is organized in a way that enables the reader to make the connections necessary to answer the questions as they will appear on the test.
