Do You Want To Pass Your PMP® Exam?

The Project Management Professional certification from PMI is one of the world’s premium certifications. It is trusted around the world. And there is a good reason. The exam is very, very difficult to pass.

Earned Value Management or EVM is a critical tool for project managers to know. And your ability to use it will be tested several times during the exam.

The problem is that most people don’t use the techniques in their working lives. They just don’t have the practice.

EVM isn’t hard to do. All it takes is practice. But getting the examples to practice on has been difficult. Until now!

This book contains 50 examples for you to work through. It guides you on a journey from simple to very complex. And it tests your ability to manipulate Earned Value Management calculations in multiple ways. By the time you finish this book, you’ll never worry about EVM again!
