I really like how the book leaves space to write your own cliff notes and references. This makes me feel more prepared for the exam as well as better in my current job.

If PMP is the Goal this is the Bible

The PMBOK is a thin guide that can be read in a short amount of time. To pass the exam the key really is taking practice exams & studying the areas you are weak in. If you join PMI as a member you are given the PMBOK Guide free. I learned that late after already purchasing the guide from Amazon.

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.

Book's content is most important

Reviewed in the United States on June 19, 2024

Verified Purchase

The book is what I wanted and needed. However it has been shipped in an soft envelope, so it's edges got damaged. I am going to read it anyway a million times, so probably it will look way worse in a month time, but it would be nice to get the book in a pristine condition at the first place. Now, time to study.

Expected better quality

Reviewed in the United States on June 26, 2024

There are yellow drag marks on many of the pages and the back is all scratched up, definitely not the quality I’d expect for such an expensive book.

The book is easy to grasp

There are a few terms like the NPS which are repeated in 2 different places. But all in all, the document is very easy to understand. The boxes with quick summary are helpful. The feedback window is not taken at the right time and it is strict and model - which is not a good practice to calculate the CSI. So, this review was not taken at the right time and I could not skip it.
