PMBOK® Guide 6th Ed Processes Explained with Ricardo Vargas!

Great. Business case and PID. What’s the view on when this is done. Maybe prior to all of this some say ?

[@VanessaKlinger]

Amen! I have been studying for a year because I was terrified to sit for my PMP... Now, I believe I will be ready after watching him... When I get ready to sit, I will be investing in his pre-training prior to sitting. Excellente, Ricardo!!!

[@christ5459]

I just got my PMP certification, and this was the last video I watched before the exam. Thanks!!!

I was sooo prepared to pay for this download. And he gives it for FREE? This guy is not just a genius, but a saint!

The moment he said Project Charter is like BIRTH CERTIFICATE, this video got my respect and full attention.

Lovely, congratulations 🎊.

Thanks Manish. Glad to hear that.

So basically PMBOK 7th edition is mirroring Ricardo Vargas's work. Tells how he really broke the book down. Great Work Ricardo!!!

[@dboshen]

I just passed the 2021 exam. I was consistently scoring 40-60% on prepcast exam simulator quizzes. I watched this video once, and I jumped to 70-90% instantly. No I'm not kidding, and yes this video is that useful for people who visually learn.

[@cilice13]

Oh my sweet lord, thank you! I've probably wasted a hundred hours trying to understand the word salad of the PMBOK guide and PMI-provided educational resources, and this is the FIRST time I have come remotely close to understanding how these processes are supposed to actually be applied.

[@LaKimmie]

This guy is a legend! He completely untangled the mess in my head about these 49 processes. Why didn't the PMBOK Guide structure it like how Vargas did? This video is a must watch for any PMP aspirant. I would say watch this video first before doing anything else.

[@tasmiasworld8110]

i am actually looking for this kind of video before jumping into the big pmbook.

very true

Yes totally agree with Kimberly Tholl...! You have clearly stated what I have to say. Ricardo is right on the ball about our thought about the PMBOK 6.0. Thank you so much Ricardo....Cheers

Totally agree. Am taking the classes from PMI directly and have 2 more guides to explain the PMBOK. Just more confusing. This man is a true teacher. Thank you for your comment. I guess I am not crazy after all!....

I just came from watching your commentary on the PMBOK 7th edition and found this video to be a good too. *Comment for the viewer:* Everyone! I recommend watching Vargas' 7th edition before/after watching this video to understand the latest restructuring of the PM body of knowledge! This will help you stay current!

This should be declared the official refresher video by PMI for their PMP course. This guy is amazing. Thanks a lot, coach.

[@TonyNextStop]

I was shocked at how well this guy could break down the complex idea into the smallest chunk. By using simple words to explain the complex concepts, I wonder how long did he study this material to get to this well organized. I was truly impressed. Ricardo, you deserved tons of millions of views for this video.

[@adedayoadeyinka4873]

I just passed my PMP. Thank you Ricardo Vargas. You made the whole process look like a piece of cake. I am grateful.

[@namig6]

Where did you passed and how many days took it?

[@TheVoicefrombeyond]

I wouldn't say that the 25+ hours I've spent so far learning about the PMBOK knowledge areas, process groups and processes were a waste of time, but they were definitely emotionally lackluster. In contrast, seeing everything tied together perfectly by Ricardo was an almost orgasmic experience. Thank you Ricardo, I'll definitely get your course when it's time to get the PMP with PMBOK V7.

[@christoperpineda9181]

Wow. After the 1st 5mins I simply cant stop watching! and Im not even into project management. im just a programmer. Didn't know that project managers have these things on their mind. I thought they where hired just to do 1 thing.... to ask the question "hey is it done yet?" everyday

[@syedjawahar8542]

You are right. Project Manager will behave like “is it done?.. please follow up and get this done by today.”. All these are only to get PMP certifications but in reality no project manager knows anything.. they just want to promote the project to production as they agreed the go live dates...

[@krishnamohan4036]

@@syedjawahar8542 dude you have zero understanding of project management. What is explained in the video above is what a PjM breathes day in and day out. We ask is it done that's what is on the exterior. But the storm of pressures and milestones and deadlines and what not we go through the inside is a different ball game altogether. The flow what he mentioned is what a project manager goes through day in and day out and since folks like you do not understand project management (which precisely you proved it here), we ask one line - "hey is it done?" PS: It's just a clarification.

[@bhuppi13]

Well you're actually correct.. In the end that's what most managers actually do.. These courses teach you about how a gun is made, and in most projects, the gun is already there, they have people who need to know how to aim and shoot and how much to shoot etc

[@onlyrisingstar]

@@krishnamohan4036 There are few who are technical but mostly they don't go through that phase of development so they cant understand the pain of developer or the technicality so what Syed Jawahar is talking about are those who didn't even program a single line of code so if the technical person tell him in there language they cant understand.

[@DeltaTwoNovember]

This video is fantastic and is a MUST WATCH for anybody studying for the PMP, regardless of how you are earning your 35 hours for your application. Worth noting regarding the downloads - the numbering scheme is consistent with the PMBOK for the "canvas" download, but not so much for the "process flow" download. Regardless, EXCELLENT explanation, and thank you for taking the time to do this.

[@Jjag640]

I purchased PMbok 6th , saw hoo more than 700 pages to read and learn but this video provided a concept of 700 pages in few minutes video. Thanks Ricardo 👍

[@ThatBearHasMoxie]

I am speechless. PMI needs this guy to explain the PMBOK to everyone to make it less freakin' confusing.

[@8000449896]

I agree with M.A., Ricardo deserve a Noble Prize. Usually I don’t wait too long to prepare for any exam and even for this, I only had 10 hours to prepare. I was upset until I saw this video, Thought wouldn’t make it this time. But man I did it, thanks. You explained PMBOK better than PMBOK itself.

I am a certified PM for PRINCE2, Hermes 5, SCRUM, ITIL, and an Executive MBA in Project Management and practise expert PM for over 2 decades.

This is a really engaging video and I’m impressed in how he summarize the whole book in a chart. This make everything simple. I’m still going to read the book as he suggested, but I recommend people to watch this before reading the book. It give a strong foundation.

[@shantalderboghosian4525]

YOU ARE THE BEST!!!! I passed my PMP exam yesterday with 4 above targets and 1 target (closing). Closing is a lot more difficult than people think! I watched this video at least 10 times, re created the chart and added in some cheat notes (inputs and outputs) and studied it like crazy up to the exam. Morning of the test I woke up to watch this video one more time and it saved my ass! RICARDO YOU DESERVE SO MANY AWARDS and I wish I could hug you!!!! My advice to others, aside from this wonderful video, you NEED to buy the right exam simulator. I purchased one that came highly touted and it was crap. Thanks to redditors I learned of another simulator called prepcast and that is hands down what helped me pass. The exam questions were almost identical in format. This simulator also explains WHY options are wrong and not only why it is right. Do not underestimate this exam!!! Know the processes in and out! You don't need to memorize the ITTOS but it helps to understand them. I got a lot of situational questions that required emotional intelligence. Good luck everyone! Thank you again!!!!!!

After being a Process Engineer and an entrepreneur, I can confirm that NOTHING in real life is as structured as this diagram. I am so glad you always say "everything is fluid", because in reality, it is SO fluid. On the shop floor, you cannot think to yourself "ah, let me go look at what my PMBOK flowchart says, then maybe we can perform Qualitative Risk Analysis" LOL; if you do that, the employer will give you your PMBOK in your hand and walk you out the door hahah. I am glad that you always says "this is a GUIDE, not exact rules"

I paid $895 to get a 4 week course taking me through what i need to pass. He basically just read slides to me! This guy right here is explaining it to me so it actually makes sense!
