Publisher's summary

The PMP exam is the golden standard for project management professionals, but let's face it - it's tough to stay conscious when reading the PMBOK. This audiobook is the antidote. Everything you need to know to pass the PMP exam is included. It is literally one third the size in content compared to some of the more popular tomes out there. All that fluff has been removed and boiled down to the straight facts, plus enough glue to bring it all together so that it makes sense. Those uber-fancy terms and run-on sentences have been removed so you can quickly understand what is being said, instead of having to go over the same sentence three times.

This audiobook has been updated for the PMBOK Guide Sixth Edition, which includes all sorts of greatness over the previous edition including the following changes:

  • An updated PMI's Talent Triangle
  • A focus on schedule instead of time
  • Three new processes have been added
  • One process has been removed
  • Monitor is the new Control
  • An increase in the number of ITTOs
  • A recognition that agile methodologies now rule the planet

Enjoy a fun-but-serious way of learning the PMP material, which includes some great mnemonics on memorizing knowledge areas, processes, and process groups.

Please note that chapters may not have a descriptive name as displayed on your mobile device - this is limitation of the publishing platform. However, each chapter will always start with the title being read aloud, so it should be fairly simple to scan through chapters when you wish to revisit a subject.

Missing PDF

At the end of the recorded book, the author mentions a PDF is normally included with the book. Why it's not included with audible download is my question. :(

Felt the need to write a review to help others.

There are many books out there, so I am glad I chose this one. The explanations are simple. The reading is by a real person (and claims to be the author), and thus vocal, not monotonous. The few tips on memorizing are super helpful. Overall great book if you want to listen, while doing also something else (I have been cycling and running).

The only audio book that offers a real crash course of the Pmbok 6th edition!

I read the PmBok and listened to a few audio books and this is the only audio book that offers a real crash course of the Pmbok 6th edition.

Recommend as a studying supplement

While driving this was perfect for listening to as a supplement to studying. The material is very dry but the narrator simplifies it and offers some suggestions for memorization at the end.

Very useful when are traveling or driving

Very useful when are traveling or driving, it covers pretty much everything. But u need to practice on simulated exam questions to pass.

OK to start with

I started with this book before reading PMBOK and it was an easy way how to get more familiar with the topic. Listening is sometimes better then reading. Definitely just this book is not enough for the exam, unless you want to go for a second attempt. Also, there are some discrepancies in the book, the author obviously skipped Manage & Control quality processes. And, btw, brushing your teeth is not a project.

One more way to be prepared for the exam

I think that sort of materials is hard to listen to.
However, the author tried to simplify it.
I also liked some sounds that helped to understand if a list was being read.
I believe it is better to use a paper book.

wish i could get version 5.0

Any additional comments?

Great book but I'm taking the PMP exam under PMBOK 5 and would love your previous version. I"m keeping you version 6 as it is an awesome tool.

Great Audio

I enjoyed this audio very much anyone studying for the PMP knows certain study material can be difficult to understand and to technical. Phil explains PMP on a level many can relate to removing the PMP obstacles and barriers. I recommend this audio to anyone who has begun their PMP journey. Once you listen to this audio it will clear up any misunderstanding you may have come across. Thank you Phil for this audio it helped me tremendously while studying for the PMP exam.
