PMP "Accelerated"

"Hey Jackson and Marie, it's me, your coach. I'm calling to check in on your PMP studies. I know you've been slacking off a bit lately, and I'm concerned that you're not going to be prepared for the exam. "I know you're both busy with work and other commitments, but it's important to make time for your studies. The PMP is a challenging exam, and you need to be prepared if you want to pass. "I'm here to help you in any way I can. I can provide you with study materials, answer your questions, and give you feedback on your practice exams. "I'm also going to recommend that you study the Agile Practice Guide and the PMP Immersion. These resources will help you understand the latest project management principles and practices. "Finally, I want you to focus on the principles of project management, not just the ITTOs. The ITTOs are important, but they're just the details. The principles are what will help you succeed in your career as a project manager. "I know you can do this. You're both smart and capable people. Just put in the time and effort, and you'll pass the PMP exam. "I'm rooting for you! Jackson and Marie listened to the voicemail from their coach. They knew he was right. They needed to get back on track with their studies if they wanted to pass the PMP exam. They decided to start by studying the Agile Practice Guide. They learned about the different types of agile projects and the principles of agile project management. They also studied the PMP Immersion. This resource helped them understand the latest project management trends and best practices. In addition to studying, Jackson and Marie also made time to practice taking practice exams. This helped them to identify their areas of weakness and to improve their knowledge of the PMP material. After several weeks of hard work, Jackson and Marie felt confident that they were ready for the PMP exam. They took the exam and passed with flying colors! Jackson and Marie were so happy that they had decided to get back on track with their studies. They knew that the PMP certification would help them to advance their careers in project management. I hope you enjoyed this story about Jackson and Marie. I hope it inspires you to stay focused on your own PMP studies. Remember, the PMP is a challenging exam, but it's definitely possible to pass if you put in the time and effort. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/pmpradio/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/pmpradio/support

LINKS: https://tinyurl.com/pmbokprinciples https://tinyurl.com/pmbokdomains The 7th edition of the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) Guide symbolizes a noteworthy pivot in the sphere of project management. It embraces a universally applicable approach, significantly emphasizing the role of interpersonal skills, principles, and soft skills in project management. The guide posits that people play an essential part in determining the success or failure of a project, and it promotes a natural logic approach to managing projects. Additionally, this edition is strongly influenced by agile concepts and subtle details, which mirrors the escalating prominence of agile methodologies in the realm of project management. Yet, despite the introduction of these new perspectives in the 7th edition, the 6th edition remains a pertinent resource because of its comprehensive focus on predictive or traditional project management. The 6th edition lays a solid foundation for understanding conventional project management practices and methodologies. To reconcile the changes between the two editions and merge the traditional and agile methodologies, the Project Management Institute (PMI) has released the "Process Groups: A Practice Guide." This guide serves as a compass for practitioners, helping them traverse the complexities of project management. It's important to note that a robust understanding of traditional project management, which is defined by the five process groups, 10 knowledge areas, and 49 processes, remains crucial. Even though the Project Management Professional (PMP) exam is based on the exam content outline, this holistic understanding is key to allowing professionals to grasp the broader context of project management. It empowers them to appropriately apply the principles and practices to different project scenarios and requirements. In order to gain a comprehensive understanding of the evolving dynamics of project management, I strongly encourage you to delve into not just the 6th and 7th editions of the PMBOK Guide, but also into the Agile Practice Guide and its valuable content. This will facilitate an expanded knowledge base that provides enormous value, enabling professionals to adeptly navigate through both predictive and agile project management methodologies. Investing time and effort in understanding these resources will help practitioners shape a balanced and versatile skill set that goes beyond the constraints of a single PMBOK Guide edition. This wide-ranging viewpoint and deep comprehension of project management principles and practices will assuredly boost one's efficiency in the field and contribute significantly to the success of their projects. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/projectmanagement/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/projectmanagement/support

The podcast by project managers for project managers. Jesse Fewell was part of the core team writing the PMBOK® Guide 7th Edition. Hear about the new PMBOK® Guide's principles-based approach. What has changed, what has not changed, and how this influences project management today.

BILL YATES:  Yeah, Jesse was putting in I can't even imagine how many hours in coming out with a new edition, especially one like this that is a big shift.  And we'll get into that shift.  One of the things that we'll talk about with Jesse is the principles-based approach in this 7th Edition.  Just to help people get a sense for what we're talking about, I'm just going to quickly list off those 12 principles.  So these are the 12 principles that are in the PMBOK® Guide 7th Edition that really drive decisions that project managers make, things like stewardship, the team, stakeholders, focusing on value, systems thinking, leadership tailoring, quality, complexity, risk, adaptability, and resiliency and change.  So that gives you a sense for the principles that help drive project managers in the roles that they fill.  We'll talk more with Jesse about that.  That's a key shift in the 7th Edition. WENDY GROUNDS:  And Bill, we also, if project managers are looking to pass their exam, we do offer some help, too, don't we. BILL YATES:  Absolutely.  The PMP Exam is our specialty.  That's really what inspired Andy to start Velociteach back in 2002.  He wanted to write a book that would help people pass an exam and achieve this goal of earning their PMP.  That is a true focus of our business, helping people pass and earn the PMP, and then helping people get better at their job. WENDY GROUNDS:  And you're going to get some free PDUs from listening to this podcast.  Listen up at the end, and we'll tell you how to do that. Meet Jesse Hi, Jesse.  Welcome to Manage This.  We're really glad that you're talking with us today. JESSE FEWELL:  Oh, I always love hanging out with the Velociteach people. BILL YATES:  Love having you. WENDY GROUNDS:  Yeah.  It's been a while since we've last talked with you.  What have you been up to in the meantime? JESSE FEWELL:  Oh, my goodness.  So we last chatted in the 2017 promotion of the PMBOK® 6th Edition.  And what I've been up to since then is I've been moving further and further into the world of agile leadership...

The Logic and Reasoning explained in this video can be found in this image: https://tinyurl.com/pmbok7pentagon PMBOK Guide 7th Ed....One of the MOST POLARIZING publications from Project Management Institute. How should one think about the SEVENTH EDITION and use it alongside the SIXTH EDITION and the AGILE PRACTICE GUIDE? This video lends some ideas and my unique perspectives using the contraption I call "Process Group Pentagon" ⬠ ⭓ ⭔ ⬟ https://youtu.be/q1UFc65F510 #projectmanagement #agile #changemanagement #pmbok7 #pmbokguide #pmbokguide7thedition Many are confused about how to use the 6th and 7th addition! Have knowledge areas gone away? Have process groups gone away? How should we think about this? This webinar will answer all those questions and more. DOWNLOAD PMBOK GUIDE 7TH EDITION HERE: https://www.pmi.org/pmbok-guide-standards/foundational/pmbok... (You must log in as PMI member first) # Learn what is new in the PMBOK Guide in a lot of detail! # Know how to navigate the PMBOK Guide 7th Edition and know what changed. # Use it to augment existing methods. # Train your PMO on what is new ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Being a PMP should one ignore future PMBOK Guide editions? One could, but to me, its my professional responsibility, first about being able to help people make sense out of the Guide and to know what is new. Those PMP certified are leaders who need to be able to speak to those very questions you talk about even if they are not teaching PMP courses formally. When a new PMBOK Guide comes out, people are seeking direction from us certified PMPs and trying to navigate it. Instead of spending 10 hours reading the book immediately, discussions like this help understand what is new so we can explain the ins and outs to beginners. Many new PMPs are in leadership positions and their management expects them to be able to guide and explain to others what is new. So it is less about you as an individual and more about them. Without the 7th edition we could still ace projects! There is a ton of new information in the 7th edition and although its going on 2 decades, there is stuff in there new to me and others despite having read so many of PMI's standards.

SPaMCAST 540 features our interview Mark Kilby and Johanna Rothman. Johanna, Mark, and I discussed their new book, From Chaos to Successful Distributed Agile Teams, Collaborate to Deliver (Buy your copy here: https://amzn.to/2Omur23). Distributed agile teams are a fact of life; Johanna and Mark provide an extraordinary amount of wisdom for making distributed teams exceptional.    Johanna’s Bio Johanna Rothman, known as the “Pragmatic Manager,” provides frank advice for your tough problems.

Johanna was the Agile 2009 conference chair and was the co-chair of the first edition of the Agile Practice Guide. Johanna is the author of 14 books that range from hiring, to project management, program management, project portfolio management, and management. Her most recent books are From Chaos to Successful Distributed Agile Teams (with Mark Kilby) and Create Your Successful Agile Project: Collaborate, Measure, Estimate, Deliver. Read her blogs, email newsletter, and more information about her books at www.jrothman.com  Mark Kilby Bio With over two decades of experience in agile principles and practices, Mark Kilby has cultivated more distributed and dispersed teams than collocated teams.  He has consulted with organizations across many industries and coached teams, leaders, and organizations internally. Mark also co-founded a number of professional learning organizations such as Agile Orlando, Agile Florida, Virtual Team Talk, and the Agile Alliance Community Group Support Initiative among others.  His easy-going style helps teams learn to collaborate and discover their path to success and sustainability. Mark shares his insights on distributed and agile teams in dozens of articles in multiple publications. Most of his latest ideas and developments can be found on www.markkilby.com Re-Read Saturday News We have been re-reading Malcolm Gladwell’s The Tipping Point over the past 10 weeks.  When considering how I would wrap up the re-read I had to fight the urge to parrot back the findings Gladwell identified in the conclusion: a few people are critical and that people’s biases matter. Real life intervened and I applied the ideas in the book! We need to choose the next book in the Re-read Saturday Series. Steven Adams has requested a referendum on the next book.  Mr. Adams has always provided sage advice, therefore, a poll we will have! The poll will be open for two weeks. Vote for your two favorites. Next SPaMCAST SPaMCAST 541 will feature our essay on guardrails.  We will discuss using guardrails in decision making.  Guardrails are a tool to ensure alignment with the organization’s goals and objectives and to keep people on the right path.  Well-formed guardrails conform to five attributes that help teams and individuals make decisions. We will also have a visit from John M Quigley who brings his Alpha and Omega of Product Development column to the podcast.

ANDY CROWE. BILL YATES. NICK WALKER.   NICK WALKER:  Welcome to Manage This, the podcast by project managers for project managers.  Every two weeks we meet to discuss what is important to you, no matter where you fit into the world of project management.  If you're a leader, we want to equip you.  If you're on a project team, we want to encourage you.  This is the place to share ideas, be challenged, and remind one another of what we are capable of when we work together. I'm your host, Nick Walker, and with me are the chief idea cultivators, Andy Crowe and Bill Yates.  Andy, we're going to talk about something that many project managers look forward to with anticipation, and others maybe await with dread. ANDY CROWE:  Yeah, you know, we're going to be talking about the PMBOK Guide today, and specifically the Sixth Edition.  And Nick, I saw something that made me laugh out loud.  When I got my copy in the mail, I opened the package, and the book – the way it was oriented was on the back of the book.  And the very back of the book says “By Project Managers for Project Managers.”  And I thought, somebody's listening to this podcast; right?  It's funny to see ideas creep in.  So, yeah. NICK WALKER:  Yeah, great minds think alike.  Hey, before we start, let's welcome Bill back from a whirlwind trip on the other side of the world.  Tell us, Bill, where have you been? BILL YATES:  Thank you.  It's good to be back.  This was really a bucket list item.  Beth and I have wanted to take a trip down the Rhine River, and so we took a cruise down the Rhine River.  We started, we actually went into Berlin first, had an aunt and uncle there.  So we spent some time in Berlin and then started in Amsterdam and went all the way down to Switzerland, to Basel, and had an incredible time.  I can't even tell you what my favorite part was because I saw so many beautiful sites. NICK WALKER:  Oh, wonderful. BILL YATES:  And amazing projects. NICK WALKER:  Oh, yeah, yeah.  I'm sure, I'm sure. ANDY CROWE:  Well, don't worry about us.  Nick and I have just been laboring away here. NICK WALKER:  Yeah. ANDY CROWE:  Keeping things going. BILL YATES:  Dissecting the new Sixth Edition PMBOK Guide. NICK WALKER:  Well, I hope you enjoyed your trip.  And it's back to reality now; okay?  We've got to jump in with both feet. BILL YATES:  Absolutely.  Yup, yup, back into it, the fun and thrill of PMBOK Guide. NICK WALKER:  Well, Andy, you mentioned that you just got yours in the mail.  I imagine a lot of project managers have gotten this new PMBOK Guide in the mail.  It's sitting there on their table, this big thick gigantic book, and maybe they're looking at it wondering, what do I do with this now?  And we want to let folks know, if they're thinking that, they're probably not alone. ANDY CROWE:  I agree.  That's part of the problem is people get this, it sits there, maybe it collects dust.  It's kind of like a religious text.  You know, you look at it, maybe you feel guilty for not reading it, maybe if you do try and read it you're not completely sure you understand it.  So we're here to deconstruct a little bit of that and talk about, okay, what do you practically do with this book now that it's arrived? NICK WALKER:  And it's big.  It's bigger, I guess, than it's ever been. BILL YATES:  It is big.  It is.  As we've said before, PMI every four years updates the PMBOK Guide.  And this printing that came out in September of 2017 is the Sixth Edition.  We were looking at just doing a page count.  And if you go back to the Third Edition, it had 388 pages.  We're about double today what we were then.  So from Third Edition to Sixth Edition, we've gone from 388 pages to 756 pages.  And Andy, I'm not even counting the Agile Practice Guide which came along with. ANDY CROWE:  Right.  But you know what, Bill?  If you go back in time – so I want to go back for a moment in time.

In this podcast Shane Hastie, Lead Editor for Culture & Methods, spoke to Johanna Rothman and Mike Grifiths about the joint PMI & Agile Alliance initiative to produce the Agile Practice Guide. Why listen to this podcast: - There is nothing in the PMBOK that says you have to use a waterfall project delivery model - If we want to influence the people who hold the hearts and minds of senior management, there is no better way than to collaborate with them - The guide reflects the State of the Practice when it was written - The prevalence of agile terms in projects, without actually using agile approaches – the veneer of agile without the substance - Defining agile as a mindset based on values and principles rather than any set of practices - There are many options for undertaking work; the key is to have an agile mindset about which practices are most appropriate in a particular context and be prepared to change if the chosen practices are not helpful More on this: Quick scan our curated show notes on InfoQ http://bit.ly/2xXIMeU You can also subscribe to the InfoQ newsletter to receive weekly updates on the hottest topics from professional software development. bit.ly/24x3IVq Subscribe: www.youtube.com/infoq Like InfoQ on Facebook: bit.ly/2jmlyG8 Follow on Twitter: twitter.com/InfoQ Follow on LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/company/infoq Want to see extented shownotes?
