PMP: Project Management Professional Workbook

PMP: Project Management Professional Workbook



This book provides exercises based on concepts from the knowledge areas in the Project Management Body of Knowledge Guide. It is organized in order of how the PMBOK Guide discusses the knowledge area, except for integration management, which we have at the end since it brings everything else together. This book is organized as follows:Chapter 1 This chapter covers Scope Management, including justifying proceeding with projects, project selection methods, project initiation and the project charter, creating a scope statement, and creating a scope management plan.Chapter 2 In this chapter we discuss the most important aspects of Time Management, including creating a WBS, performing activity sequencing, duration activity estimating, developing a schedule, calculating critical path and PERT, and controlling schedule changes.Chapter 3 The Cost Management chapter covers resource planning, cost estimating, creating a budget and cost baseline, and controlling cost changes. Chapter 4 This chapter reviews major Quality Management concepts such as planning for quality, quality planning tools, calculating the cost of quality, quality assurance, and quality control.Chapter 5 This chapter discusses Human Resource Management, including creating a staffing management plan and a RAM, acquiring staff, and team development.Chapter 6 This chapter covers major Communications Management concepts including understanding your stakeholders, communicating with the team, deciding on information distribution, creating a communications plan, performance reporting, and closing the project.Chapter 7 This chapter focuses on Risk Management, emphasizing creating a risk management plan, identifying risks, qualitative and quantitative analysis, risk impact and probability matrix, risk response types, and creating a risk response plan.Chapter 8 The Procurement Management chapter describes deciding on contract types, creating a procurement management plan, creating a SOW, evaluating and selecting a vendor, and creating a contract.Chapter 9 We finish off the book with Integration Management. Although this is one of the first items covered in the PMBOK Guide, it is the application of all of the other knowledge areas to planning, execution, change control, and professional responsibility on a project.
