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

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!

Page 30: PMP EXAM PREP COURSE - Falcon Trainingfalcontraining.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Falcon_Day_1-Chapter...THE PMP® AND THE CAPM® EXAM PREP COURSE ... The Course Textbook Pass the

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

Page 31: PMP EXAM PREP COURSE - Falcon Trainingfalcontraining.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Falcon_Day_1-Chapter...THE PMP® AND THE CAPM® EXAM PREP COURSE ... The Course Textbook Pass the

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

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

Be a Teacher

Reciting is most powerful way to learn and remember

– Constantly practice restating, repeating, putting into

your own words

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 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.

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

Now the bad news . . .

Those first two questions were CAPM style questions,

the final one was more like a typical PMP style

question

– “Learning the PMI language”

– “The sheer amount of material”

– “PMBOK® Guide is boring”

– “Very long questions”

– “I didn’t study enough”

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

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.

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

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.

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

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
