Your videos are really helpful in passing PMP exam. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. There’s one suggestion…. The audio can be better. The volume in the recent videos is very low.
Very helpful to hear you talk through this, thank you! One thing I feel like I still haven’t secured in my mind as I prep for the exam is what artifacts are associated with agile vs predictive? What artifacts come out of each phase in the life cycle for each approach. I wish there were just a clearly separated list somewhere. Maybe I’m missing it. If anyone has a suggestion I’d appreciate it!
Hell Mohammad. Thank you for providing these 18 PMP Mindset Principles. I recently joined your team of online students, and I look forward to being with you as long as this platform exists.
Is question 1 agile or predictive? I believe it's an agile question- in your principle number 5 you mentioned that agile does not go through a change process. Please clarify.
I just came to say thank you. I understood more from watching your videos than I did from all the months I spent studying. I passed my PMP exam in one sitting, thanks to your guidelines.
Thank you very much for these videos! Does anyone have a resource that clearly outlines which artifacts come from which life cycle process? I’m finding it hard to find just a very clear breakdown of initiation process yields the project charter, x y x, planning phase yields x y z
Hi Mahammad, Thank you. I passed PMP Exam on my first attempt on 8th October. Your principles helped me a lot to choose the correct answers. Thank you & wish all best for you...🙏🙏🙏
PMP Mindset Principles 1. Always discuss, investigate, analyze, ask before deciding on a solution 2. Never settle for delays or extra costs. However, extra costs precede delays 3. Be a servant leader! (encourage, care, nurture, listen and never create friction in the team) 4. Value is gold 5. Root cause analysis and MVP or demo are your weapons 6. Any change will go through a change request process (for predictive). There is no change request process (for agile) 7. Your team members are the experts, not you! Make every decision with them 8. The PM makes the decisions and handles the issues (no running to sponsors, management or HR). Note: The exam will mention project sponsor many times. ONLY go to the sponsor when there is a problem with the budget (example, money is running out) BUT going to the sponsor should be the last resort 9. Everyone directly or indirectly involved is a stakeholder and must be added to the register (stakeholder register) and how they impact the project 10. No matter if the project is completed or terminated, the closing phase must occur (predictive) 11. In a predictive project, your plan is your map. Constantly refer back to it 12. Predictive project keywords: change control board (CCB), change control process 13. Agile project keywords: sprint, iteration, scrum, daily standup, backlog, Kanban, product increment, product owner/manager 14. When you or your team have no clue on what's going on, a subject matter expert (SME) is what you need. Or, you can refer to past projects in the lessons learned register 15. When transitioning from predictive to agile, introduce agile concepts slowly (pilot project, inception deck) 16. Agile projects are self organizing - meaning teams are in charge however the PM can still step in to manage and resolve conflicts 17. An agile project will always need consistent feedback from the customer 18. Never immediately reject a request or an opportunity - especially from a client
Question 8 is not made by you it is from @RMC Rita Fast Track, and the answer is A. Although I encourage you, please consider copying when making videos.
Also sidenote... your audio is consistently softer than most videos, typically my volume for YT is 14-20%, I have yours at 100% and still seems a bit soft. I have watched about half a dozen videos of yours and the content is always great, but this is my only critique.
