Details education, experience, and training prerequisites for PMP eligibility. Guides candidates through the online application, audit process, and scheduling steps.

Lesson 3 • Study Planning and Resources

Introduces evidence-based study strategies, recommended references, and practice tools. Helps candidates build a personalized, time-boxed preparation plan.

Lesson 1 • Hybrid Delivery Approaches

Examines how organizations blend predictive and agile practices to fit constraints. Prepares candidates to answer situational questions requiring hybrid reasoning.

Lesson 2 • Organizational Structures and PMO

Analyzes functional, matrix, and projectized structures and their effect on authority. Covers PMO types and their strategic role in portfolio alignment.

Lesson 3 • Project, Program, and Portfolio Alignment

Distinguishes project, program, and portfolio management and their interdependencies. Positions the project manager's role within broader organizational strategy.

Lesson 4 • Predictive Project Management Fundamentals

Explains the plan-driven lifecycle, process groups, and knowledge areas from the PMBOK framework. Establishes the baseline model that later chapters refine and apply.

Lesson 1 • Identifying and Analyzing Stakeholders

Introduces stakeholder identification techniques and the stakeholder register. Establishes engagement analysis as a continuous activity throughout the project.

Lesson 2 • Defining Project Goals and Success Criteria

Explains SMART objectives, success metrics, and acceptance criteria at project initiation. Links clear goal definition to scope control and stakeholder satisfaction.

Lesson 3 • Developing the Project Charter

Teaches the purpose, components, and approval process of the project charter. Connects charter development to formal project authorization and sponsor accountability.

Lesson 1 • Risk and Procurement Planning

Covers risk identification, qualitative and quantitative analysis, and response planning. Introduces procurement strategy and contract type selection as planning outputs.

Lesson 2 • Cost Estimating and Budget Development

Explains analogous, parametric, and bottom-up estimating and cost baseline creation. Links cost planning to earned value management introduced in execution chapters.

Lesson 3 • Schedule Planning and Network Diagrams

Covers activity definition, sequencing, duration estimating, and critical path method. Connects schedule baseline to resource and cost planning in subsequent sections.

Lesson 4 • Agile Release and Iteration Planning

Explains release planning, sprint planning, and backlog refinement in agile delivery. Contrasts agile planning cadences with the predictive planning baseline approach.

Lesson 5 • Scope Planning and WBS Development

Teaches scope management plan creation, requirements collection, and WBS decomposition. Establishes scope baseline as the foundation for schedule and cost planning.

Lesson 1 • Directing and Managing Project Work

Covers work authorization, deliverable production, and issue log management during execution. Connects execution activities to the performance measurement baseline established in planning.

Lesson 2 • Stakeholder Engagement During Execution

Teaches techniques for managing stakeholder expectations and escalating issues appropriately. Reinforces the stakeholder register and engagement plan created during initiation.

Lesson 3 • Agile Execution and Sprint Ceremonies

Covers daily standups, sprint reviews, and retrospectives as execution control mechanisms. Connects agile ceremonies to continuous improvement and team velocity tracking.

Lesson 4 • Quality Assurance and Control

Distinguishes quality assurance from quality control and applies key tools such as control charts. Links quality execution to the quality management plan and acceptance criteria.

Lesson 1 • Earned Value Management

Teaches PV, EV, AC, SPI, CPI, EAC, and VAC calculations with practical interpretation. Connects EVM metrics to corrective action decisions and forecast reporting.

Lesson 2 • Scope, Schedule, and Cost Control

Teaches the PMI mindset for answering situational questions by identifying the best next action. Applies elimination strategies and domain knowledge to maximize correct responses.

Lesson 2 • Exam Day Preparation and PDU Maintenance

Covers test-center logistics, online proctoring rules, and post-exam PDU requirements. Ensures candidates are operationally ready and understand credential renewal obligations.

Lesson 3 • Full-Length Practice Exam Review

Administers a timed 180-question practice exam followed by detailed answer analysis. Identifies knowledge gaps and reinforces weak areas before the actual exam.
