PMP: Project Management Professional Exam Study Guide, 5th Edition is Here!

June 6, 2009 by Kim.

I’m happy to report that the 5th edition of the “PMP: Project Management Professional Exam Study Guide” is here! I am so appreciative of the tremendous support I’ve received worldwide from those of you who have used the “Study Guide” to prepare for your PMI® exam. I’ve kept this edition true to former editions with lots of real life scenarios regarding how to apply project management principles to your next project and have maintained an engaging style. I try to keep the material as fun as I can given the subject at hand.

The 5th Edition of the “PMP: Project Management Professional Study Guide” maps to the 4th Edition of the “PMBOK Guide®”. This is the newest edition published by PMI®. As of July 1, 2009, the new PMP Exam will be based on the 5th Edition of the “PMP: Project Management Professional Exam Study Guide (and the 4th Edition of the PMBOK Guide®)” . The previous editions of the “Study Guide”, including the “Deluxe Edition”, are no longer valid as of July 1, 2009.

I love hearing from those of you who are studying for your exam and even better, the emails saying, “I passed.” That’s a tremendous accomplishment and great feeling. For those of you who are looking for the best book on the market to study for and pass your exam, follow this link: http://www.amazon.com/PMP-Project-Management-Professional-Study/dp/0470455586/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1244303146&sr=8-1

There are two other exciting announcements I have for you. I have co-authored the “PMP: Project Management Professional Exam Review Guide” with Vanina Mangano. We have taken the most critical exam highlights from the “PMP Study Guide” and distilled them down into a “Review Guide” that you can use as the “week before the exam” cram. This Review Guide has additional questions and bonus exams. The idea is that after you’ve read the “PMP Study Guide” and have all the concepts down, you can use the “PMP Review Guide” to help you memorize, recall, and do some last minute preparations for the exam. This book will be available the end of July and you can pre-order it at this link: http://www.amazon.com/PMP-Project-Management-Professional-Review/dp/0470479582/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1244306515&sr=1-2

I’ve also partnered with Terri Wagner and Linda Kretz Zaval to create the “PMP: Project Management Professional Certificaton Kit”. This Kit has my “PMP Study Guide”, the “PMP Review Guide”, and a book that Teri and Linda co-authored titled “Project Management Street Smarts”. The “Street Smarts” guide has exercises galore, real life examples, more questions, and is based on the “PMP Study Guide” so you can use these books together to study for your exam. The benefit of “Street Smarts” is that you’ll get hands-on experience with the exercises Terri and Linda have developed that will help you remember and recall what you’ve learned from the “PMP Study Guide.” You can pre-order the certification kit here: http://www.amazon.com/PMP-Project-Management-Professional-Certification/dp/0470479604/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1244306306&sr=1-2
