iKompass PgMP Exam Preparation Book Second Edition
The iKompass PgMP exam preparation book second edition book is a culmination of effort of over 20 program managers across 4 continents. The book is specifically designed to cater to the different learning styles of readers. Readers who grasp through visuals are treated with elaborate illustrations accompanying the text. Readers who learn by doing are presented with questions of varying levels of difficulty with explanations for their answer choices. Readers who learn through association are presented with case studies and examples to reinforce the core concepts.
The structure of the book is by design aligned with that of the Program Management Standard Second Edition to make it easy for the reader to relate to the official standard published by PMI. While the Program Management Standard by PMI specifies program management best practices, the iKompass PgMP book explains these best practices through case studies and examples.
The iKompass PgMP book addresses program management concepts across a spectrum of verticals ranging from building a restaurant chain to setting up data centers. Program Managers across various industries will be able to relate to the concepts without the need for extensive technical knowledge or experience.
The content in this book is a result of extensive research and expertise over 18 months. The primary objective of this book is to provide relevant knowledge in an effective pedagogical manner enabling a student to pass the PgMP exam. The content developers at iKompass are ardent advocates of the principle that the best form of learning happens through a combination of visual, text, illustrations and exercises. As such, the reader can be rest assured that he or she will not have to go through thousands of boring lines of text.
Key points are highlighted through visuals and illustrations some of which may seem out of the ordinary. This is done purposefully to enable retention. We tend to remember the unusual. Each knowledge area in the book starts with a description of a case study. All the inputs, tools and outputs are then described through the case study. The PgMP exam contains questions that are of situational in nature and as such an ability to visualize and create the situation in the mind is necessary. The case study based approach in the book provides sufficient practice to envisage different program management situations.
