BEST PRACTICE STUDY
TECHNIQUES
24
How Much Do We Remember?
How you will learn on this course
25
If we could implant the information directly into
your brain we would – but we can’t so instead we
have the following:
Trainer knowledge and presentation
Slides
Notes
Mock exams
Text books
Games
Self study
How you will learn on this course
26
This course will focus on teaching you:
The content and knowledge needed to answer
exam questions
How to read and answer a typical question
The course isn’t designed to teach project
management but it’s a wonderful by-product.
Effective Learning Takes Time
Learning takes time and you will go through the
following steps:
Accumulation
Incubation
Inspiration
To make best use of your time, spread study over
several weeks
27
Study Tips
Take brief breaks (5–10 min) after 50 minutes study
Vary tasks and topics during study periods
Find one special place for study, and use only that
Eliminate distractions in this location
If you’re daydreaming, walk away for a few minutes
28
Study Tips
Avoid ‘escape’ syndrome of fretting and talking more
about studying than actually studying
Make a realistic appraisal of priorities:
– What has to be done
– How much time there is to do it
– When it will be done
– Then … just do it!
29
Memorising
Mix your styles of study as much as you can
Retention of information improves dramatically if you
touch each concept at least 3 times
Go over each concept at least once before, once
during, and once after class
30
Memorising
Study big ideas first. Understand the big picture, then
fit in the details.
– Easier to remember details if they can be fitted into
a framework
Study as if you are preparing for an essay test
Memorise formulas and terms which will be needed on
the exam
31
Memorising
Flip Cards
Diagrams
Mega Memory Techniques
Mnemonic Devices
32
Your Mnemonics…
33
Notetaking
Divide your page with a line down the side
Put terms, etc. on one side of the page, and the
definitions on the other
Cover one side of the paper, and try to recite using the
terms on the other side
34
The PMBOK® Guide combines
memorisation and understanding
Some Memorisation
– The PMBOK® Guide Definitions
– The PMBOK® Guide Framework
Mostly Processes, Tools and Techniques
– Time: PERT & CPM
– Cost: NPV & Earned Value
35
Test Yourself
Think of questions that might be on the exam
– Find a variety of ways to test yourself as you review
– Act of formulating questions helps discriminate
between important and less important information
During this course, we will ask you to create your own
questions and try to stump your colleagues
> Creating exam questions keeps you alert and thinking
actively
36
Be a Teacher
Reciting is most powerful way to learn and remember
– Constantly practice restating, repeating, putting into
your own words
37
How do you learn?
Everyone learns differently. Be aware of the way you
learn best and follow it where possible

EXAM TIPS: THE PMP EXAM
The Exam: First Things First
Write down hard-to-remember formulas before
beginning the exam
Write down your mnemonics and mind-maps
Read exam instructions carefully
Listen to the exam proctors instructions!
Sit the exam as you have studied – take breaks
44
The Exam: Reading the Questions
Read each question carefully before making a
response
Check for key words
Read the question, ignoring the answers. Decide what
the answer should be, then look for that answer.
Now, re-read question, look at each option carefully
and eliminate those that are not correct
Select the one that is most correct
Make sure answer you first selected is correct one
45
The Key to Your Happiness
If the PMBOK® Guide is different to your experience,
the PMBOK® Guide wins!
46
Tips for Passing the Exam
Learn the basic flow of inputs, tools and techniques
and outputs for each process
Learn where each process fits in terms of initiating,
planning, executing, controlling and closing
47
48
49
50
51
The Exam: Time Management
As you go through the exam, leave no question blank
Identify doubtful answers so you can return to them
Don’t linger too long on any one question
52
The Exam: Stay Calm
Regard a lapse of memory as perfectly normal
Accept the fact that you don’t know all the answers
and just guess!
53
The Exam: Not So Fast!
Take your time and don’t make errors
Use any extra time to edit and proofread answers
You might have made senseless errors you can pick
up the second time around
Go back over the exam, re-looking at doubtful items
Be cautious about changing an answer without a good
reason that you can put into words
There are no special points for finishing early!

Typical Example Question
A person who is involved in or may be affected by the activities or
anyone who has something to gain or lose by the activity of the
project is called a:
a. Team member
b. Customer
c. Stakeholder
d. Supporter
56
Typical Example Question
A new project has begun. The project charter has been written and
the project manager has been assigned. The project manager is
preparing the work breakdown structure for the project. The WBS is
typically used:
a. To explain the scope of the project relevant to the client.
b. As the basis for organizing and defining the total scope of the project.
c. To show the resource conflicts that exist in the project.
d. To show the logical relationship between tasks in the project.
57
Typical Example Question
Carol is working on a complex construction project that is using a range of new
technologies that have all been assessed as presenting uncertainty to the forecast
duration of the project. While much of this uncertainty has been mitigated as a result
of procurement decisions already made there is still uncertainty about the project
duration that the steering committee that she reports to would like more information
about.
As a result of discussions with her project sponsor she has decided that it is best to
use the PERT method of scheduling for the project that she is working on. Using the
PERT calculation the variance for the project is found to be 25 days and the duration
of the project is found to be 169 days. What is the range within which she can express
a 95% confidence of delivering the project?
a. 164–173 days
b. 144–194 days
c. 119–219 days
d. 159–179 days
58
Now the bad news . . .
Those first two questions were CAPM style questions,
the final one was more like a typical PMP style
question
59
Study hints from new PMP's
Know contracts
Know concept of administrative
closure
Know key outputs from each
process
Know your communication
channels
Write down formulas on scratch
paper first thing
Test yourself!
Know your formulas
Know Quality, Procurement,
Lifecycle, Earned Value
Understand duration and
network diagrams
Be able to identify critical path
Know WBS in detail
Know Scope of Work

Biggest Challenges
From people who have sat the course before:
– “Learning the PMI language”
– “The sheer amount of material”
– “PMBOK® Guide is boring”
– “Very long questions”
– “I didn’t study enough”

ORGANISATIONAL INFLUENCES
AND PROJECT LIFE CYCLE
Pass the PMP Exam, Chapter 1
The PMBOK® Guide, Chapter 2
Overview
Low
Medium
High
73
Project Management Framework
Project vs Operational Work: A project is time-limited
and unique; operational work is repetitive and ongoing.
74
Project Management Framework
PMO (Project Management Office): a department that
supports all projects across the organisation.
Can be Supportive, Controlling or Directive
75
Project Management Framework
Program: a group of related projects coordinated
together.
76
Project Management Framework
Portfolio: all of the projects and programs in the
organisation.
77
Project Management Framework
*Project Life Cycle: “The series of phases that a project passes through
from its initiation to its closure.” PMBOK® Guide
A project concludes when the scope has been delivered and the closing
processes have been completed.
There are three types of project life cycle:– Predictive – a lot of work is done at the beginning to define the work and
then it is carried out as per the plan with little change i.e. Construction
– Iterative and Incremental – Small iterations of the Predictive approach
– Adaptive – Multi-functional short bursts of work, iteratively. i.e. Scrum IT
projects
78
* This definition is taken from the Glossary of the Project Management Institute, A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK® Guide) – Fifth Edition. ©2013 Project
Management Institute, Inc. All rights reserved
Project Management Framework
Product Life Cycle: a product life cycle continues until
the product is no more, including usage and disposal.
79
Project Management Framework
Phases: Parts of a project that correspond to a
particular methodology and produce one or more
deliverables, like ‘requirements gathering’, ‘design’,
‘usability testing’, etc.
All of the PMBOK® Guide processes may occur in
each phase.
The PMBOK® Guide DOES NOT define a
methodology.
80
More Definitions!
Organisational Process Assets (OPA) – any
processes, tools, templates or policies the organization
has and owns that assist the project
Enterprise Environmental Factors (EEF) – any factors
external to the project which may constrain the project
81
More Definitions
Organizational Process Assets: These are the IP,
policies, procedures, templates, methodologies,
historical information, tools, and maybe even software
that are owned (hence the word asset) by the project.
TIP: Organizational Process Assets generally help a
project.
82
More Definitions
Enterprise Environmental Factors: These are a very
common input into many processes and include any
factors external to the project that must be taken into
account.
They may be external to the project but still within the
wider organisation and include such things as
organisational culture, policies and processes which the
project has to comply with.
They may be completely external and include such things
as industry regulations, & local and national laws.
TIP: Enterprise Environmental Factors generally
constrain a project
83
More Definitions
Work performance data: The raw unprocessed
information you collect about the project
Work performance information: The work
performance data that has been analysed using a
variety of techniques (i.e. Earned Value technique) to
give useful and understandable information about the
project
Work performance reports: The work performance
information presented in an appropriate way to
stakeholders
84
More Definitions
Progressive Elaboration:
The idea that as the project evolves over time,
more and more details and requirements are
available
Rolling Wave Planning: (is a form of Progressive Elaboration)
Iteratively defining the project in greater detail as it
progresses.
Plan short term in-depth, long term at a high-level.
85
More Definitions
Historical Information: information kept from previous
projects.
86
More Definitions
Baseline: the reference point. The baseline includes
approved changes, and so it can vary throughout the
life of a project.
87
More Definitions
Organisational Project Management Maturity Model
(OPM3)®: global best practice standard for enterprise
improvement.
88
OP3M is a registered mark of the Project Management Institute, Inc
More Definitions
Project Manager: the person ultimately responsible for
the outcome of the project.
Project Coordinator: less responsibility than the Project
Manager, but with some decision-making ability. Can
not make budget decisions. Usually found in weak
matrix or functional organisations.
Project Expeditor: lowest level of responsibility of the
three roles. Administrative responsibility for the project.

Whitaker, S. (2016). Pass the PMP Exam. CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform, p.28 - 29.
Net Present Value (NPV)
NPV is the Present value of the total benefits (income or revenue)
less the costs. NPV allows calculating the accurate value of the
project.
If NPV calculation> 0, then accept the project: If NPV calculation
<0, then reject the project.
NPV equals the sum of the initial cash outlay (expressed as a
negative number) plus all calculated Present Values
P.S. Present Value (PV) = 𝐹𝑉
