Review of PMBOK Guide for PMP Certification

30 reviews between Apr 17, 2023 and Oct 21, 2023.

This is a review of the PMBOK guide for PMP certification. The book provides valuable information and graphics for project management. However, some customers have experienced issues such as missing pages and poor quality binding. It is recommended to use other resources in addition to this book for exam preparation. The 7th edition is criticized for being poorly integrated and not suitable for teaching new project managers. Overall, the book is still considered a good resource for project managers and those interested in learning about project management.

Book is hard to understand
Cons:
The language of this book is complex and if you are taking the CAPM exam and using this book as only guide it may be tough as the terminologies in this book are the same but the language is very different. The book also needs practice quizzes or work examples to try from.I would recommend this book for overall current project management methodologies and practices but not as a study guide for an exam

Pros:
The visual graphs and pictures in this book are stunning and are easier to understand than the actual words. Overall the book is good but not great for beginners. I passed my CAPM with the outdated 4th edition of Joseph Phillips CAPM/PMP Certification all in one which helped me more then this book but this book was essential for me since it covered Agile processes which you'll need to know

Terrible. Just bullet points.
The first half is just some generic topics. The pmbok is just bullet points like a basic reference manual. I had to buy this for my PM class and its useless for that. Especially for study. Can get this info anywhere online and in more detail.

Great book with valuable information for Project Managers
This book provides a standard guide from the Project Management Institute for those who work on projects. Valuable information, great graphics and overall information. This includes everything about project design, planning, implementation, execution, and closing. The book arrived on time and in perfect condition. This is very different to the sixth edition, this is the most recently updated version.

Decent study guide, but not to be used a a single source
Good data, but make sure to use other resources as well if you plan to pass the PMP cert test.

Wasted Money
This edition is no good for any of the classes I am taking. This was recommended. I am outside of my return window as my class just started.
This is a useless copy, it’s 400 pages less….

Important info, but not the whole picture
When the editors created this edition they did so to add information to the previous addition.
If you are studying for the PMP this book will not be enough to get you a passing grade.
However, it's still very useful, and important information relevant to the test.

They have ruined it in v7
PMBOK v7 is garbage, the elite sort of BS which makes no sense at all. If you are newcomer, start with v6. Even v4 does a better job covering the basics.

PMI should reimburse me...
This edition of the PMBOK book will not help you run effective projects (agile or predictive) nor will it help you prepare for the PMP exam. It lacks all detail of the process-based knowledge areas that are in the 6th edition, WHICH ARE STILL REQUIRED FOR THE EXAM. I actually think using this as a reference is WORSE than not having it at all. Get the 6th edition and then if you're interested in Agile do some independent study.

I've been running major programs for over 20 years and actually feel less effective as a professional after getting this edition. So yes even though I bought it from Amazon, I think PMI owes us a reimbursement. And an apology.

Do Not Recommend Spiral Bound
The cheap, spiral plastic they use on this product is horrible quality. The spiral used on a $2.00 notebook from the drugstore is superior. I loved the idea of having this book spiral bound. Too bad the quality is so poor.

Review: Tasty Mushroom Coffee with Cocoa & Cinnamon
29 reviews between Oct 08, 2023 and Nov 04, 2023.

This mushroom coffee tastes pretty good with a hint of cocoa & cinnamon. Can drink with hot water as is or add your favorite creamer. It tastes slightly sweetened. There is a little residual grit at the bottom of the mug while drinking it, so you may want to use a mixer or perhaps frother to avoid it. Good price point for mushroom coffee.

Singer Sewing Machine 3232: A Mixed Bag
30 reviews between Apr 08, 2023 and May 25, 2023.

The Singer Sewing Machine 3232 is a mixed bag, with some users loving it for its lightweight and portability, ease of use, and versatile stitching capabilities, while others found it to be poorly made, with plastic gears, and prone to breaking quickly. Some users were impressed by customer service, while others struggled with the instructions and threading. Unhappy users complained of thread jams, tension problems, and the need for frequent readjustment. Despite some positive reviews, many would not recommend this machine or Singer’s quality more generally.
