PMP Certification for Dummies - book review

Welcome in my first book review. Today I will talk few words about book that covers PMP - related subjects. According to pmp certification website PMP is an abbreviation for Project Management Professional and is a kind of certificate issued by PMI (Project Management Institute). Today this is probably the most recognizable certification you can obtain in terms of being a certified project manager.

Advantages

But let's get back to the book. This book was recommended me as a good source of information when preparing to PMP exam. In fact the book did a good job because I got information on PMP lifecycle in a logical flow and... nothing else. The good thing in this book is a cd with sample 300 exam questions which is pretty nice.

Disadvantages

The bad thing is that the book has many mistakes, so if you seriously think about passing the PMP exam do not buy this one. Also the information included in the book will not be enough to get the highest score during the exam.

My personal feeling after reading this book was that the book is addressed to total PMP beginners who are looking for a basic information what the PMP is, how to pass the exam, what can be expected during the exam, which areas should are learned in order to pass etc. Anyway if you need to just check what are the pmp certification requirements you can check them easily in internet websites or directly search on PMI resources.
