The Project Management Institute (PMI®) recently introduced the Portfolio Management Certification (PfMP®) to its suite of credentials as a recognition to the growing importance of experienced project professionals who are responsible for the planning, organization, and execution of large groups of initiatives called project portfolios.
This book is designed to guide busy project professionals with the preparation and passing the PfMP exam, which is especially difficult due to the amount of experience required to qualify and pass the exam. Written by a certified PfMP, this book introduces a proven approach to satisfactorily completing the exam and it includes 400 practice questions, exam aids, lesson plans, and important concepts. To prepare for the “experience-based” questions, the author has taken a Socratic approach based on questions and answers to stimulate critical thinking and to illuminate ideas. Beyond the basic, this guide contains additional sample deliverables and approaches that will help you professionally. Finally and perhaps most importantly, this book licenses certain content from PMI to ensure clarity and save you time.
Why should you consider this book? The reasons are simple. This book is: * The first book on this top that is written by a certified portfolio manager. * One of the few (perhaps the first) to license intellectual property from PMI. * Designed to prepare experienced project professionals with an innovative approach. * Presents a time tested system to passing the exam with shortcuts, exam aids and 400 practice questions. * More than a test guide. It is like a companion guide that advances project portfolio management.
As a bonus, this book includes 30 days of access to the 400 questions online for the original purchaser of the book upon registration.
This book is a part of a larger suite of products and services to help organizations and project professionals to achieve execution excellence. The author’s company, PMO Advisory, also offers additional PfMP practice questions and a preparation course. For more information, visit www.pmoadvisory.com/pfmp.
