Introduction to PMBOK Summarized
This eBook is my attempt to summarize the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) 5th Edition in preparation for the PMP® exam. As it stands, all of the 47 processes have been summarized. However, I still need to backfill the sections on projects, programs, the organization and ethics. In the meantime, good luck with your PMP® exam.
