About the Book

This book contains a short digest of the PMBOK Guide. It can be used to prepare for the PMP exam and as a quick guide for daily project management.

It follows the reference guide, keeping only essential information and adding explanations from other sources (principally Rita's guide).

While most of exam preparation books intend to be complete references, this short guide focuses on brevity: it aims at being a minimal resume.
