Do not read the PMBOK(R)! Shocked? Yes, it is true! If you are preparing for PMP(R) examination or if you want to really understand project management concepts then please do NOT read the PMBOK(R). A good cook never reads the recipe book! A good cook refers! PMBOK(R) is a recipe book and hence a good PM will always refer to it. To refer means to seek help while doing! PMBOK(R) is an artefact that one needs to refer to before and even after the exam! J This book Abridged Guide to PMBOK(R) makes your study and implementation simpler and joyful. Two audio-video assets that must be referred to along with this are: 1) 2-D Animated Revision of PMBOK(R) conceptualized, developed and published by Dhananjay Gokhale https: //vimeo.com/ondemand/pmbokrevision6e/ 2) Magic of 99 - a set of 99 situations elaborated by Dhananjay Gokhale https: //vimeo.com/ondemand/magic99/ In addition to the above two videos, a mind-map of PMBOK(R) has been created by Dhananjay Gokhale that depicts all the process interactions in one diagram.
