    If there is a question in delegation


    Submitted by admin on Sun, 09/09/2007 - 17:13. If there is a question in exam around delegation, try to watch for the options as follows

    Technical stuff - All technical stuff can be delegated WBS and similar items - Remember that WBS , estimation etc is best done by project team rather than PM Working with customers on Technical details. PM need not be involved. He can just be informed.

    PM Should not delegate value-added stuff which are mainly responsibilities like

    Motivating team members Giving out rewards. You can invite senior managers but not delegate Watch out for things in PMBOK where it says this is PMs responsibility.

    I see this point raised a lot. Since it was just posted, I'll take the opportunity to answer it in -and I think it deserves a separate topic. The poster brings up a very important point: the PMBOK(r) Guide is a very important book, but it does not cover all of the material on the PMP exam. This is not an accident --

    that's how the PMP exam was designed. When Jennifer and I were writing "Head First PMP", we had to do a lot of research to make sure we fully covered all of the material that's on the exam but not in the PMBOK(r) Guide. PMI publishes a specification for the exam (we talk about it in the free exam), and that specification includes some material that's not in the PMBOK. For example, if you search in the PDF of the PMBOK(r) Guide for conflict resolution/avoidance techniques (confronting, smoothing, etc.) and French & Raven's five forms of power (punishment, referent, etc.), you'll find that they are not explicitly listed. Instead, they are part of the knowledge required for specific processes (Manage Project Team and Develop Project Team respectively). Also, the PMBOK(r) Guide does not list out the PMP Code of Professional Conduct, and 9% of the exam is based on it. Also, there are some things in the PMBOK that are referenced, but not explained. The lead author and project manager for the PMBOK(r) Guide 3rd Edition, Dennis Bolles, was one of our technical reviewers. One thing he told me was that the PMBOK(r) Guide is a management framework -- they did not write it as a training book, but as a reference to cover the processes, tools and techniques needed to have a full grasp of modern project management. For example, the PMBOK(r) Guide mentions that the early/late start and finish dates are computed using forward and backward pass analysis. But they do not tell you how to do that analysis. That's what we did on our book -- you can see the result in our critical path drill. I hope this helps everyone! _________________

Also keep in mind that questions in PMP exam keep changing. No books in the market mention Delegation in the PMP exam, but i got at least 2 questions on that.

    Passing the PMP exam


    It took me 14 days of studying, but I have passed the PMP exam. Below is my lessons learnt: The PMBok lacks concrete examples thus making it difficult to understand. Therefore I first started by reading Rita Mulcahys PMP exam prep book, then read Kim Heldmans project management professional study guide. Mulcahys book is more geared towards the exam but it does not have sufficient coverage on the ITTO (Input, Tools, Techniques, Outputs), which is well-covered by Heldmans book. In my opinion the 2 books are complementary to each other, and provides a much greater understanding than the PMBok guide itself. The online forum pmhub.net is the most helpful web site for studying PMP. It contains plenty of exam advices from other PMP exam takers, along with Jim Owens study notes which discuss a variety of topics that typically appears on the exam. For practices questions, I used the 2 books along with oliverlehmann.com and headfirstlabs.com. It is absolutely critical to practice many situational questions & memorize the ITTOs for the exam. The exam also asks topics that are neither in the PMBok & the 2 aforementioned study guides, such as Point of Total Assumptions, economic value added, and delegation. Chapter 6 of the book Management skills for new managers by Carol W. Ellis is a must-read for understanding delegation on the exam. Finally, the following attachment is my notes prepared for the exam for reference. Ref: http://edwinchan.wordpress.com/2007/06/08/pmp-exam/
