The objective of this book is to providereaders with sufficient information to pass the PMP examination.

Experience shows that the most successful candidates are those that have experience in a leadership capacity, in a projects environment andcan relate that experience to the theory presented in this text.

PMI & the PMBOK®
The Project Management Institution was established in 1969 and headquartered in the USA. PMI is the leading non-profit professional association in the area of Project Management, and currently supports over 100,000 members in 125 countries worldwide. PMI members are individuals practicing and studying projectmanagement in many different industry areas, including aerospace, automotive, oil & gas, business management, construction, engineering, financial services, information technology, pharmaceuticals and telecommunications. Over time, PMI has become, and continues to be, the leading professional association in project management. More information is available on the PMI website: - www.pmi.org PMI is thepublisher of the PMBOK® (Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge). It is now in its fourth edition, and this course text has been revised in line with that version. The primary purpose of the PMBOK® is to identify and describe that subset of the Project Management Body of Knowledge that is generally accepted. Generally accepted means that the knowledge and practices described areapplicable to most projects most of the time, and that there is widespread consensus about their value and usefulness. The document is also intended to provide a common language within the profession and practice for talking and writing about project management. Project management is a relatively young profession, and while there is substantial commonality around what is done, there is relatively littlecommonality in the terms used. The PMBOK® provides a basic reference for anyone interested in the profession of project management. However it should be noted that the document is neither comprehensive nor allinclusive.
