Jim Owens, PMP: JIMBOK 4th ed: Quality Management

#: 2

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.

Jim Owens PMP: Scope Management

#: 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.”

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.
