October Item of the Month at the PMI Marketplace

A User’s Manual to the PMBOK^® Guide
By Cynthia Stackpole

The professional standard of project management, A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK^® Guide), published by the Project Management Institute (PMI), serves as the ultimate resource for professionals. It is also valuable studying and training device for students taking PMI's credential exams including the exams for the Certified Professional in Project Management (CAPM)^® certification and the Project Management Professional (PMP)^® credential.

A User’s Manual to the PMBOK^® Guide takes the next logical step to act as a true user’s manual. Its accessible format and easy-to-understand language helps to not only distill essential information contained in the PMBOK^® Guide—Fourth Edition, but also fills an educational gap by offering instruction on how to apply its various tools and techniques.

• Defines each project management process in the PMBOK^® Guide—Fourth Edition, describes its intent, and discusses its individual ITTOs (inputs, tools and techniques, and outputs)
• Features examples, handy tips and sample forms to supplement learning
• Is written by the author who was project manager of the PMBOK^® Guide—Fourth Edition
• Contains a data flow diagram of each process in the PMBOK^® Guide—Fourth Edition to show how information is distributed
