Many of the topics in the exam are not directly in the PMBOK so you’ll need to read more widely, but hopefully these notes will help. Some areas of Quality management may seem a little strange, as they are derived from process management. Many people who attempted the exam reported that the definitions and an overview of the charts are very important in this section – expect around 15 questions on these alone. Not all definitions are in the glossary. #: 1
“Risk” sounds bad, no matter how you say it! When most people think of risk, they think of something negative, something that can go wrong and cause damage and cost money, hence the expression “Risky business”. #: 4

Project managers spend a staggering 90% of their time on project communications… #: 12
Jim OwensPMP There are strong parallels between cost estimating and time estimating so you should have experienced some déjà vu when you first read it. In fact they have five tools/techniques in common – expert judgment, analogous estimating, parametric estimating, three-point estimates and reserve analysis. #: 5
There are strong parallels between Cost estimating and Time estimating, as you will see if you compare the ITTO’s (Inputs, Tolls & Techniques, and Outputs) of the estimating processes. #: 7
What is Project Scope management? PMBOK tells us, “Project Scope Management includes the processes required to ensure that the project includes all the work required, and only the work required, to complete the project successfully.” It goes on to say, “Managing the project scope is primarily concerned with defining and controlling what is and is not included in the project.” #: 10
Jim OwensPMP eBay is an interesting model of commercial life. If you haven’t tried buying and selling on eBay, you really should, as you can learn a lot about buying, selling, marketing, distribution, and so on. Importantly, you can also learn something about stakeholder expectations. #: 22
Jim OwensPMP Integration management is sometimes referred to as “the glue that holds the project together”. So I’ve written these notes in case you get stuck.. #: 41
Jim OwensPMP I was so pleased when I read the “Develop Project Charter” section of Project Integration Management in PMBOK Fourth Edition. They have finally caught up with what really happens in real projects (maybe they have been reading JIMBOK #: 3
 a better mousetrap July 2009 Projects and Strategic planning Although this may sound a little obvious, projects must have been chosen for a reason, and projects performed in organisations are usually strategic, that means they contribute to the strategic plan of that organisation. #: 0

Expectancy theory is a frequently misunderstood topic, so I thought that I would post this brief note for clarification. So often I hear people say that it means people will work harder if they expect the project manager to reward them. If this is what you think, then please read on. 
PMI wrote the PMBOK and they will be marking the exam, so they are right always and without exception.
