The Largest Impact

With most things, it is helpful to identify the areas of the largest impact and then focus your efforts accordingly. 

With the latest version of the PMP exam, there are 3 domains. 

 

  1. People
  2. Processes
  3. Business Environment

Spending your time studying each domain equally would be an acceptable approach if we didn’t bother to investigate exam proportions or impact. 

 

  1. People – 42% of the exam
  2. Processes – 50% of the exam
  3. Business Environment – 8% of the exam

It is clear to see that 2 of the 3 domains make up the vast majority of the exam. It is certainly more beneficial to spend your time honing your knowledge of those 2 domains. So that way when the exam comes you’re prepared for 165/180 questions. 

 

Whether it is an exam or a personal project, don’t just identify the areas, but the impact of each.
