 Just What I wanted March 15, 2010
Traveler
This Project Management Body of Knowledge was the perfect purchase for my needs. As an experienced project manager, I was looking for something to refresh my memory of project management practices and provide information on best practices. This book does that. Although I do not recommend doing this, I read it cover to cover. It was the perfect preparation for my first project management class at the university. This book will not make you a project manager if you lack experience, but it is super for someone who has experience. It will also make a great reference during projects.

An indispensable resource for PMP certification. If you become a member of PMI you receive an e-copy if this guide with your membership. The exam is also cheaper. It is probably worth going that route.

 Good Info, Difficult Read February 11, 2010

I used this book plus free online test questions and exams to pass the PMP exam so it can be done.
The good: By studying just this book and the free online tests, you can pass the PMP test (I did). For an experienced PM, the definitions and calculations are not difficult to learn (learn = memorize).
The bad: Much of PMBOK deals with process input, tools, techniques, and outputs. The organization of these makes them extremely difficult to learn. There is no overall construct that integrates them and brings them all together to make them easy to learn. My understanding is that some paid courses organize these better than the PMBOK and provide either mnemonic devices and/or better diagrams / charts.
My strategy:
- Read the PMBOK.
- Underline definitions, key words, and input, tools, techniques, and outputs.
- Memorize the underlined info.
- Practice the calculations.
- Take the online tests. Refer to references in the answers as needed.
- Iterate the above steps until I got 80% or more on the online tests.
For an experienced PM, few concepts in the book will be unknown. It is a matter of making sure you know the PMBOK specifics for the test.

I use this book to prepare my continuing education students to sit and successfully pass the PMP exam. I like the changes made in the updated version. The additions and deletions in the respective process groups are relevant to what happens in practical project situations. As a PMP, I constantly refer to the PMBOK as a reference source. As an Instructional Designer and classroom instructor, I also use this book in conjunction with Project Management Skills for Instructional Designers: A Practical Guide Project Management Skills for Instructional Designers: A Practical Guide
