Suggestion to pass PMP exam 2nd try
Hi I fail to manage time, how to analyse questions faster with mindset. !? Time pressure makes me to analyse wrongly. How to make answers right. I studied PMI study hall and Andrew 35h course and 50mindset + 200hard questions. Need insight to crack this time. Thank you in advance

@Kirankumar Noolvi The hardest part of the PMP exam is mastering situational judgment rather than rote memorization. Because most questions place you in complex, realistic scenarios where multiple answers seem plausible, you must adopt the PMP Mindset to consistently pick the single best action expected of a certified project manager. You will have 1 minute and 27 seconds for each question, that's enough to read the question only once. Based on your gained knowledge, try to: - First, if you are short with time pay attention what is asked in the question. Questions such as "What should the PM do next?" or "What is the best way to resolve this?" or "What the PM should do to prevent this from happening in the future?". This gives you the context you need before reading the background scenario. - Define what type of project is the question about, i.e. define the project environment first. For example, when you see "change order, WBS, critical path" it has to be predictive/adaptive, but if you see "product owner, sprint, retrospective" it refers to Agile. - While you are reading the question try to recognize the most important words. The wrong answers are almost always the ones that advocate for skipping processes, autocratic behavior, or acting without analysis. - Think/assess/analyze/revew before you act in your answers. - Never do nothing and never escalate the issue to the sponsor, PO and/or CCB. Unless is something out of your control and you need a permission (regulation, law). - Never demand, request, force, insist on something. - Next, it is very hepful if you understand WHY processes happen in a certain sequence. Of course, you should generally know what phase a project is in (Initiating, Planning, Executing, Monitoring/Controlling, Closing) and the overall logic, but don't try to memorize processes. However, some project management facts you have to memorize. For example: project exclusions are located in Project Scope Ststement. - In Agile pay particular attention to the Agile dynamics: product backlog, Agile roles (agile project manager/scrum master, agile team, and Product Owner), Agile ceremonies, sprints, Kanban, burndow/burnup charts, EVM formulas, information radiator.
Ringing in birthday #25 PMP®️ certified! 🥳🍰
Consider this my excuse to eat double cake all week long 😂 Ok, now the sappy part: When I started this journey back in January, I thought the biggest challenge would be learning the project management concepts and frameworks. But looking back, the biggest lesson I’m taking away is that growth often happens when we step into something before we feel completely ready. We have to be willing to keep showing up imperfectly, because we’re capable of doing hard things. Four years ago, when I graduated with degrees in ESL education and Spanish, I never imagined project management would become part of my story. I moved to Colombia to launch an English program, and through that experience, I discovered that I loved the work happening behind the scenes — building systems, solving problems, coordinating projects, leading a team, and bringing ideas to life. The PMP was never part of a plan I had mapped out, but looking back, I’m grateful to see how each step along the way prepared me for this moment. This journey also reminded me that there is never a perfect time to pursue a goal. There will always be busy seasons, competing priorities, and reasons to wait. This process was not picture-perfect. A lot of my studying happened after long workdays, from my bed, on the couch, and in the small moments I could find. It wasn’t always how I imagined it would look, but I learned that growth doesn’t happen when conditions are perfect — it happens when you choose to keep going anyway. I’m incredibly grateful for my study group @Crystal Harris @Karen Persad @Precious Akpan @Annabel Bryant @Jason Scoresby @Anthony Manalo, friends, and family who supported me throughout this journey, and for the way God has quietly guided my path in ways I never could have planned myself. Cheers to continuing to learn, grow, and embrace the unexpected paths along the way. 🚀

@Emma Osko Congratulations, what a beautiful success story!
Iteration Backlogs
I have searched the other posts but can't find the answer to my question. For iteration backlogs, can a product owner contribute to it? I thought it was only supposed to be the team doing the prioritizing of the iteration (PO prioritizes the product backlog). Or is it the initial iteration backlog is created by the team and if it need reprioritizing then the PO can help? Please help me understand.

@Christina Cwalinski I agree with @Precious Akpan , the answer is YES. But the PO participates indirectly! In Agile each Product Owner participates present, clarify, and prioritize items from the Product Backlog. In Agile and Scrum, the Developers (Development Team) are the ones who participate in and create the Sprint Backlog. They own and manage this artifact, deciding exactly how much work they can commit to achieving the Sprint Goal. The Product Owner interacts with the Sprint Backlog through three primary responsibilities: - Preparation (Backlog Refinement) - Goal Alignment (Sprint Planning) - Oversight and Adaptation
New PMP Course Content
Will the modules we’ve completed in Sections 2-19 of the PMP training modules transfer over to the new sections? I’m almost 300 modules in and don’t want to lose my progress!

@Megan Miska Correct, that will be the last day for taking the old version of the PMP Exam. After July 8 those section won't be available anymore. Whoever finish 35h Prep Course prior that date can use that certification to apply for the PMP exam.

@Megan Miska You have to take new sections anyway, since they contain new resources for the new PMP exam. Your progress won't be lost if you use 35h Prep Course certificate for your application with PMI prior July 8. Hope I was clear enough.
Anyone Preparing for PMP Before the July Update?
Anyone else aiming to take the PMP exam before the July update? I'm currently on the PMP preparation journey as well, and I know how overwhelming it can feel with the deadline approaching. I've been exchanging resources, study approaches, and preparation insights with other aspirants along the way. If you're preparing too and would like to connect, exchange resources, or discuss your study plan, feel free to reach out. We're all trying to get through this together!

@Hena Siddiqui According to Andrew Ramdayal this should be enough: 35h Prep Course PDUs + similator + YouTube videos I share his opinion.
