Do you know, that PMP exam is not based on PMBOK 7th edition.
On top of that, if you just rely on PMBOK 7th edition, then trust me, it may not be
sufficient.
And today in this video, I want to show you how my team and I helped thousands of students
to pass the PMP exam in their first attempt by relying only on PMP Exam Content Outline
and not PMBOK 7th edition.
I repeat, Yes, You heard it right.
Only PMP Exam Content Outline and not PMBOK 7th edition.
By the way, who am I?
My name is Varun and I'm the founder and CEO of EduHubSpot, a training company, which teaches
PMP, ACP, PgMP, PfMP, SAFE.
I mean, you name it and we do it.
PMP exam, not based on PMBOK 7th edition is a big claim, which I am saying.
However, I will give you proofs and that too on PMI website.
So let's go right into that.
I know you will start judging me because I am using internet Explorer.
I mean, I am more of a Chrome fan though.
Okay.
First go on www.pmi.org.
Then on the certification tab, click on PMP.
Okay.
So let's first go to www.PMI.org.
I know you are going to judge me because I am still using IE, but anyways, certifications
go on PMP.
I mean, I'm more of a Chrome fan though.
I do not know why I used, I, I think by default it took me.
Okay.
So on the certifications I went to PMP, then you scroll down and it says how to prepare
for the current exam.
Click on that.
Once you click on that, on your left navigation, you will see PMP exam reference list, click
on that.
Once you click on that, scroll down and you will see all the different references.
I think there are around 10 references, but again, you don't need all of these.
So you don't read all of these, right?
And trust me, you don't need any.
The main is this Exam Content Outline.
And this is because first I want you to make sure you download that.
Once you download it, then scroll down and read this.
The exam is based on PMP certification, Exam Content Outline, not the PMBOK guide or other
reference books.
I repeat.
The exam is based on PMP certification exam content outline, not the PMBOK guide.
7th edition will now be a reference to inform the development of exam items.
Now, what does it mean by reference.
By reference does not mean that they are saying that go to page number 85 of PMBOK seventh
edition and you will see a question in exam from there.
All of these are also reference, but are you reading all of these references for a PMP
exam?
No.
Right.
So in reality, you really don't need all of these books at all.
And what I did was I took the PMP Exam Content Outline and came up with my own visual case
study type of a journal.
I'm a very visual person.
If you give me a book you know, I probably fall asleep.
I want to have a logic for everything.
So what I did, I created a journey, like what is the first thing I will do when I get a
project.
I will probably, you know, have my team with me.
Right?
So I'll get a team.
Then what is the first thing you will do on the project?
I will probably plan the project work.
Then once you are planning for the project, then you will move to execution.
You will execute the project work.
Then from execution the project work, you will track and monitor the project work.
And finally, you will, you want to make sure that you grow the business also.
So you'll talk about growing the business and stuff, and finally you will close the
project.
So I divided the entire exam content outline into series of chapters and giving you real
life day to day examples.
When I say day to day, examples, I mean cooking chicken dish, or making a new website or you
know, opening up a bakery like a cupcake bakery, you know, things like that, which you can
relate to.
So let me just give you that interlink, show you that interlink so that you can visualize
it.
And I'm pretty sure you would love it.
So going to the exam content outline, you see, 42% of questions are coming from people.
50% of questions are coming from domain process.
And 8% of questions are coming from business environment.
And what I did, let me show you this , so this is my Effective team formation, Plan
the project work, Execute the project work, Track and monitor, grow the business and close
the project.
So let's go right into one of them.
Effective team formation.
So if you see over here, it says, build a team: Domain task number six.
So I picked up one of the task from the exam content outline.
So it says task number six, build a team.
So I picked up this particular task and I explained all that task in that real life
example.
Then I moved to second topic, which is Define team ground rules, which is task number 12.
And I explained that process in, you know, from here task number 12.
So my theory was I wanted to make sure that you understand the concept.
So what I did was I took one particular topic.
I explained the concepts.
And after that, I'm asking you real PMP, not real I would say very scenario based PMP type
of questions, which trust me, you would love it.
My thought process is it's not just really about concepts.
It is also more about understanding those concepts and applying those concepts to answering
the questions because ultimately in your exam, it's really the questions which are coming
and not the concepts.
So I try to tackle both; questions as well as concepts.
So we'll go from build a team, define team ground rules, negotiate agreements, empower
team members and stakeholders, ensure team members are adequately trained, engage in
support teams and build a shared understanding.
Oh, I forgot to tell you.
Once this part is done, actually, I am going to share with you free exam content outline
tool built by my team and myself.
Let me show you that.
So this is the tool and first of all, this tool is available free of cost.
You can definitely have it.
You just need to go on my website, I will explain the dynamics later, but let us first
see the tool.
So first of all, when you download this, make sure you enable the content because the macros
are enabled on this.
So once you enable the macros.
In this particular, I call it like the homepage dashboard.
You will see all the different tasks mentioned over here and all of these different other
tabs are here.
Enablers.
And I have actually added some questions on each of those tasks so that you can practice
you, you can understand, and you can, you know, play around with it.
So let us just quickly go on one of the task, Manage communication.
So when you go to manage communication, Over here on the left hand side, you will see a
question like in this way, I added a drag and drop question, which is a new type of
question.
Then there is another question.
So what you need to do is just randomly select particular answer and it'll show you whether
you did it correct or not.
Wrong.
And let's see this one, Another wrong.
Let us see this one, Wrong.
Okay.
And the fourth one.
Yes.
So option number C was the correct one.
So you can play around with this and make sure you have to enable the macros.
You know, when it comes in the first, then you can also see the explanation by clicking
here to see the answer explanation.
It'll show you the explanation.
In addition, you will see the video explanation also.
When you click on this video explanation, it'll take, you, it'll show you this particular
video where I am using my world famous elimination technique to explain, you can go back to dashboard
any time, like go back to the home page and start playing around with this.
So if you like this tool, which, which we created you, all you need to do is go to my
website, www.edu hubspot.com.
It's free of cost.
You don't need to pay anything.
On one of the website, you can probably download it.
But only thing in return we ask you is you know, get in touch on the support portal,
on the chat.
Talk to any of my team member they will do a zoom call, explain you how our program works
and that's it.
You get this tool for free of cost.
You don't need to pay anything.
If you, if you join the program, then of course you have it.
If you do not join the program, then also you have it.
Like we give it to you for free of cost.
And this tool has around, I would say two questions, every task, and there are around
35 tasks.
So we are talking or like 70 questions.
And on top of that, the videos where I'm doing, I have added additional two to three questions,
every topic.
So that's another you know 70-100 questions.
Then on top of that, we will be giving you close to thousand plus questions to actually
practice on your own.
And of course you will have question explanation videos, like each question, you will get all
those explanation videos.
So what we're going to do.
Effective team formation; once then we will move to the Planning project work, where we
will talk about all the different tasks, again, same logic planning, same example we will
use about the website or some other, so that you can understand.
From planning, we'll move to the execution of project work, cover all the tasks for the
execution stage.
Then we will move to track and monitor the project.
We'll cover each and every particular topic in detail.
Finally, once everything is done, we will grow the business, make sure that, we have
the compliance, all that part is completed and the last, but not the least, we will close
the project.
So this is the step-by-step overview of how we going to, take this course forward.
And so we'll see you in the next one.
Yeah, so next one we will, which is number one for us.
And most importantly, we'll start talking about Build a team.
