I got this book with an incomplete prior knowledge about project management. I used to know about some parts of planning, execting and controlling stages. However, I had no previous knowledge about initiation and closing. My advice to you is that this is all what you need to pass the test. It has all of the information. The book contains sufficient descriptions about the Project+ process groups without unnecessary extra details. It is easy to read and is very concise in explaining the terms and has plenty of real-lify examples. Each chapeter has 20 MCQ at the end of it. The book has two practice tests.
I used this book as the only source to prepare for my test. I passed from the first time.
I took the Project+ test and passed it achieving my 12th certification, the most of them in the IT industry. Now that I have all the preparation experience fresh in my mind, let me share the road towards this certification with you.
PROJECT+ THE CERTIFICATION: So, why Project+? People moving towards the management area require of something more than standard skills for successfully performing as managers or directors, so Project+ may not be that popular certification among young IT professionals, but senior professionals definitely require formal education in management. Project+ and PMP are definitely the right way to go.
PROJECT+ OR PMP?: You may have heard about PMP as well. In fact I prepared myself for PMP first and then I took Project+. PMP is definitely a more generic certification that will provide you great skills in large projects, give you tools for managing people, business and others (see my PMP reviews for details) while Project+ will give you a more precise approach to IT management. I felt like fish in water once I started reading the Project+ book, just the weekend after obtaining my PMP certification. They are very alike! Whichever you get ready for first, you will be just 5% away from being ready for the second one, so my advice is go for both, (if you are an IT of course).
PROJECT+ THE BOOK: I found the book very well written, clearly organized and I found it covers all the questions I found in the Project+ test. It is a very easy to read book, and the author provides examples and tips for the certification. I really enjoyed the fact that it has many examples of the IT life and you will see yourself in them. The only thing I would add to the book is probably few more graphics which will help with concept retention. Still, I support this book as good enough for preparing for the real life and Project+ test.
I have found in this book all what I’m looking for to study for the Project+ certification in a short period as it contains comprensive descriptions in additions to the sample questions and answers. In fact, I like very much, the sample exam in the beginning of the book which helps you to know what you need to concentrate on more…
