PMP Preparation Guidelines

Many people have been requesting for the guidelines for PMP preparation. So posting this on the Knome to enable everybody's access to this. This was from my own and one of my PMP Circle Mates (Tanveer Shaikh's) preparation for PMP one year back. During first 3 months of my preparations, my focus was more on learning concepts of various project management methodolologies, in last 15 days I gave many full length tests that helped me in gauging my preparation level over time. Books Recommended :  - PMBOK Official guide - PMP Exam Prep - Rita Mulchy Total Preparation Duration :  3-4 months You may use following few points as a guideline to prepare yourself . 1) If you start with PMBOK but you'll find it boring and difficult to understand. 2) If possible create a study circle of fellow PMP aspirants 3) Read PMP Rita Mulcahy. 4) Get a copy of RITA Process game (from the Rita Mulchy book) and practice with it every alternate day. It will ensure that you imbibed the PMBOK process...

Do you remember a place called library?

Do you remember a place called library, where we used to go to read technical books and refer journals? This would be the question our next generation would be asking among themselves. There is no doubt that reading a paper book gives you much more pleasure than could give you a e-book and so quite understandably, in today's digital world, people read books for pleasure and personal satisfaction rather to enhance knowledge. Why would anybody wait for a book when the same and even better information is available real-time just by punching few keys. So, with the leveraged market for smart-devices like new generation phones, and tablets, do you foresee a world where this aspect of our world would be truly paperless?
