Recently we added four small enhancements to the exam simulator module of our application as part of version 11.3. This post is a quick walkthrough of those enhancements.

We are pleased to announce that all of our content has been updated to align with PMBOK^® Guide, 6th Ed as of Mar 26, 2018, which happens to be the same date when PMI^® updated the PMP^® exam. The project took about 3 months and was completed on time and within budget :)

Do you know that now you can take the CAPM^® exam from the comfort of your home or office without the hassles of going down to a testing center. PMI, following the lead from other leading technology certification providers, has made it super easy for aspiring project managers to take the CAPM exam by introducing a new test taking option - the CAPM Online Proctored tests. In this post, we’ll learn more about the CAPM Online Proctoring and how it works.

Resource Leveling and Resource Smoothing are two resource optimization techniques used in the Develop Schedule process, as defined in Process Groups: A Practice Guide. PMP^® and CAPM^® certification aspirants often get confused between these terms. While Resource Leveling is explained quite well in the Guide, Resource Smoothing isn’t. In fact, Resource Smoothing doesn’t find a mention in most project management references. In this post, we’ll learn about the difference between the two with the help of examples and illustrations. If you been following my personal blog, then this is another post in the PMP Study Notes series.

Do I Need to Memorize the PMBOK^® Guide Inputs, Tools and Techniques and Outputs (ITTO)’s? This is a question that every PMP^® and CAPM^® aspirant asks at some point or other during the course of the exam prep. Mastering the ITTOs is undoubtedly a key success factor for both PMP^® and CAPM^® certifications. But does it mean you need to resort to rote memorization? Read the post to find out.
