PMI Processes
The first table is to practice. The completed table is available below for reference.
This is a basic study aid for learning and testing on the Project Management Institute’s 42 processes. It is helpful for the PMP certification exam to have each process memorized and know where it falls in the project lifecyle. The answers are available by scrolling down to a second, completed table below. The formatting on the form boxes is a bit quirky. You can use them however works best for you. The scroll bars are removed but you can navigate within a box if needed, using the cursor. Each box is at least 5 rows high, so enough room is provided for the maximum number of processes per knowledge area. Feel free to advise me of any problems or suggestions.

Mark: I greatly appreciate you sharing your work with us. Have you written the exam yet?
Thanks David! I’m glad to hear someone benefited.
I have not taken the exam yet. I’m in the final preparation stages now. I hope to test next week. I will probably publish a couple more testing pages on topics like contracts, and PMI’isms.
Best,
Mark
Well it took over a week to schedule the test, but I took it and passed yesterday.
Hi Mark, found you site very helpful. the best thing is that, there no spam advertisements 🙂
i would like to know from you which 2 books, 2 simulation exams are sufficient for PMP exam.
thanks
Fateh
Ha! Thanks Fateh.
I used the Rita prep book and tests. I saw unfamiliar terms on the exam so I would not say those resources are comprehensive, but I still felt very prepared.
Best of luck,
Mark
Congrats on the PMP and thanks for the study resources. I am finding this page to be a great way to learn/memorize the process groups.

Great Idea…loving it….greatly helping me practice for the PMP exam…
hello, Is there any way you can update this page to have the Stakeholders Knowledge area added. This is such a great tool to use for preparing for the PMP.
Thank you
