Thank u. I miss the easiness of the pmbok) but i believe the new topics are very much valuable although quite complicated. Thank u very much I am happy the youtube algorithm brought u to me!

[@bbcc2020]

Ricardo this is beyond legendry. You should be lecturing at MIT, Harvard, or Stanford. Thank you for adding value to the body of knowledge.

[@manuelcamara8120]

BB & CC Hi I would like to do the capm since I do not have experience, I am currently studying a Master's Degree in project management, I would appreciate it if you would give me some recommendations to be able to certify, and give me some general recommendations, thank you God bless you

[@rvvargas]

Just replied to you on your post of 2 days ago. Reposting here: Hi Manuel. CAPM is a great start. I suggest that you pursue it. I have a course on the PMBOK 6th Ed that may be helpfull. Other providers also have good options.

[@aman78605]

He doesn't need MIT, Harvard or Stanford. He can set up his own school of Management.

[@edysandrae1282]

He is truly beyond legendary, fantastic at what he does, his explanations are top notch. I enjoy and appreciate you sir(Ricardo Vargas).

[@mariejane1567]

This statement came off as elitist.......However Ricardo is excellent

[@hopemarozwa5654]

I watched a number of your videos the past couple of days to reinforce what l studied and l am so grateful l passed my pmp today. Thank you for helping people achieve their goals

[@rvvargas]

Congratulations!

[@jacyconsult7012]

Hi Hope congratulations - I'm currently studying for mine - I was wondering whether you read the entire PMBOK guide. Hoping to get some guidance. Thanks

[@ifeolili]

@@jacyconsult7012 how did it go with you? Did you read the whole PMBOK guide?

[@muhammedabdulrezzaq5089]

This is not a project management lecture, this is a life lecture! Thank you so much Ricardo.

[@rvvargas]

I'm the one who thanks you. Much success to you! 😊

[@yosvelhernandezsuarez3325]

Hello Ricardo, my name is Yosvel, I'm from Cuba working in Jamaica as civil engineer, today I pass satisfactory the exam, wao, I remember that in 2013, I do not pass satisfactory the exam, but, when one year ago, when I started again the process, I was very happy about the new approach of Agile and Hybrid, because the Waterfall approach in that time, for me, not included all about Project Management, I want to say thanks to you videos, I see all in the last 2 months, thank you very much and I encourage to all person that want to pass satisfactory the exam to study, study and study all and be ready for exam with calm and relax. Thank you very much.

[@MonaSue-Ho]

Congrats on passing your exam and welcome to Jamaica🇯🇲🤝💯

[@ogingajoe]

Hi Ricardo, I just passed my PMP exam and just want to acknowledge the huge part your videos played in preparing me and giving me the courage to face the exam. Keep up the good work!

[@chrishellet89]

Does it matter whether we study the 6th or the 7th edition?

[@turtle3341]

dude i am only like 19 minutes in, this dude KNOWS what he is teaching i know nothing about this thing btw, but i understood nothing from other people's videos. the ability to teach someone who knows nothing about this, is insane ❤ his definitions are so easy to understand, even the obvious things have a layer of depth so you know why it's there. he is not speed running the book, he is teaching well. it's as if he KNOWS exactly what i want to know about at any point. he is teaching from experience. AND he is also giving solid advices that can be applied to personal life

[@andrearecheta7469]

I totally agree about this, I had the same experience... :)

[@mohammedrafishaik6847]

Thanks

[@nalmeida367]

Simply amazing! It’s 1.30 am on a Friday night/Saturday early morning and I cannot stop watching it. Truly grateful for this.

[@AlphaVortex888]

my friend who is a PMP, recommended me to first see Ricardo Vargas's YT explanation before taking any steps to proceed for PMP exam. And I did exactly that and now is confident than ever to approach the PMBOK guide. I would too suggest anyone PMP seeker to first familiar yourself with Vargas videos to gain a clear understanding of the framework

[@lazokidis]

Ricardo, you're the best. You don't only develop an understanding mindmap but you also have the ability to make it clear to us. You are an inspiration for me, while you make me a better PMP trainer!

[@rvvargas]

Thanks Lazaros. Very kind of you. We must work together if we want to create something better for all.

[@shamsiyahamir7653]

I typically refrain from commenting on videos, but I simply couldn't resist expressing my amazement. This video truly speaks from the heart and embodies a genuine desire to give back and assist others. The creator isn't driven by likes or subscriptions; their altruism is evident. What's more remarkable is that all of this valuable content is freely shared. I'm thoroughly impressed and sincerely want to extend my gratitude. This video has taught me a great deal, and as you rightly pointed out, I didn't watch it just to pass an exam but to enhance my skills as a manager or leader. Thank you for your time and for this invaluable contribution.

[@marlenecress929]

Ricardo is such an engaging, passionate teacher. He is the kind of teacher that makes you want to learn.

[@preciouseze5731]

As a former teacher, I really commend the passion Ricardo puts into teaching coupled with the real-life examples to buttress the points he's making. Its the stuff legends are made of. Really enjoyed watching this.

[@silvamark00]

Thank you Ricardo - years ago I decided to get an Ungraduate Degree (BS/BA) - I graduated magna cum laude. I went this route as I worked with PM's that went to a boot-camp just to get their PMP Cert - I wanted more. I hope your students went to the end of your presentation and listened to your conclusion

[@pashic100]

Passed my PMP Exam and extremely thankful to Ricardo's videos on KZbin - pure gold for everyone, who is trying to grasp current PMBOK and PMI process groups philosophy and method. Highly recommend !

[@sureshanand7594]

Thank you Vargas , you just help me walkthrough 370 pages in 90 minutes . Now it has made me easy in reading the content each pages . Thank you so much for the great effort !

[@hugocosta3095]

What a masterclass Ricardo! You are a true inspiration for all project managers and specially for us, Brazilians! Thanks for sharing this for us, I'm so happy to see the changes PMI did to PMBOK 7th edition and the passion with you explained so well!

[@andrearecheta7469]

This is probably the most valuable and most practical video I have watched. I came here to learn more about how to pass my PMP exam, which is very professional oriented. I didn't realize I can become a life coach by applying these principles and actually become a better person as a whole. I thank you Ricardo for taking the time to make this video. You are a salt and a light to this world.

[@rvvargas]

Thanks super!! 😊

[@Shells84]

Thank you 🙏 Ricardo. I just passed this evening. Your PMBOK videos were what helped things click. Thank you.

[@rvvargas]

Congratulations!

[@juliusrowe4223]

This is the greatest video on PMBOK 7 ever. Thank you so much for sharing your talent with us.

[@rubenschinali]

Always a lecture that we will refer to when talking about the editions of the PMBOK, and the fact that you make this available to all is even more outstanding! Thanks for the amazing work, Ricardo!

[@ndoumbesamuel5327]

I'm greatfull to be there and leasen all this. So, there are not Words to say thank you Ricardo. Thank you thank you, for your love, your committments. Thank you so much. Since Last year I'm preparing too get PMP. Thank you so much

[@rohanbelosay8152]

Best quick revision guide for the people who don’t want to go through the PMBOK before the exam…Muchas Gracias Ricardo

[@hossm]

I read a comment about you few years ago that you have saved many hours and many lives by making a boring crazy book understandable and easy to learn, you simplify the complex things, that's what a world class project manager delivers! Well done and I will pass it to make you happy and make the society far more better! Keep the good work up Vargas, THE MASTER!

[@rvvargas]

Wow, thank you!

[@AntonioRamirez-uc9nz]

Gracias Ricardo por compartir tu experiencia y conocimientos. Me gusto tu comentario de DEVOLVER lo que la vida te a dado. En Octubre 2023 presentare el examen y me esta ayudando mucho a entender el PMBOK 7th edicion. Estoy agradecido por aprendender de ti. Muchas gracias!!!

[@wilfredwong88]

Great video as always by the legendary Ricardo Vargas. I obtained my PMP in July 2021, but avoided reading PMBOK 7th Edition when it came out. My thoughts after reading the 7th edition straight after my exam (passed with 3 ATs!) are the same as Ricardo: when you read 7th edition, you need to understand the logic and rationale behind it before moving on. Instill that mindset, then you'll benefit by gaining a new skill. Studying for the exam shouldn't be a cram memory test, but instead a learning experience.

[@rtr-theredtonerevolutionis1976]

You just saved three to four days of my life to get that shift or change. Ricardo, the work you did for free to help the co aspirants of the Project management world just explains the idea of the very first principle stewardship. Thanks a ton. Your name will resonate with my success of understanding the PMBOK 7. Thanks a ton again.

[@rvvargas]

Glad to help! I hope you delivery great projects.

[@hopefulromanticnation1317]

You are now my favorite PMP coach. I love the way you break down concepts. I'm studying for the PMP certification. Thank you.

[@gramics1]

Hello! Engineer here! Great personal stories while maintaining the context of the PMBOK 7th edition. Love the energy and passion! Keep going!

[@prashanth_nayak]

This lecture is the best explanation for the topics I have come across on Project Management.

[@janegu858]

Thanks to Ricardo, I passed my pmp, and I will remember these 12 principles all the time both work and life

[@rvvargas]

Congratulations!

[@animishbapat3467]

Ricardo, The best part of your video came at the end! You explained “the WHY” behind doing this video! No wonder, each and every word you spoke came across as a true testament to your passion and dedication towards the field of Project Management! Absolutely phenomenal!!

[@rickynuriadi5658]

Not only you deliver such clear explanations... but you also provide the canvas for free, such HIGH VALUE materials and precious as DIAMOND indeed! Thousands of thanks, sir!

[@jeffreylangley4354]

Outstanding explanation of the PMBOK 7th edition! I've been training students and staff at my university on these concepts as well. And you're absolutely right about the purpose of this video. Project managers need to focus on improving themselves, delivering value to their stakeholders, and making society a better place. Great video as always!

[@shanetitherington6239]

I got to sit down and watch this whole thing/listen to the whole thing. I'm currently taking my PMP course and this has been very helpful to me in going more in-depth and connecting with the 12 principles through you. I love the passion for it and I think thats really what's helped me in really appreciating these principles. Anyone can teach something, but teaching something you really appreciate and have made it your goal for others to learn so passionately is something I really connect with. Thank you!

[@cherylfreeman1228]

Genius! Wish I would have seen the PMBOK information synthesized & presented like this years ago! Thank you for taking the time & for sharing!

[@rvvargas]

You're welcome!! 😊

[@cesarmoreno7093]

Thank you so much Ricardo!!! Excuse me if my English needs improvement, but I wanted to say more than thank you. Here is the reason I found your video and channel: I got the PMP certification in 2015 with the fifth edition but today while reading the PMBOK 7th edition, I was struggling to understand the logic and concepts. I really appreciate the time you invested to make possible this outstanding master class. God bless you for helping our PM community all around the world 🙏 Regards from Mexico City, Cesar Ernesto Moreno Garcia.

[@_M_D_M_]

Thanks Ricardo. You have been appreciated enough by others so I don't have anything new to say. I completed my PMP a couple of years back and I am really glad to see that PMI has finally come out of that crappy mindset of ITTOs to something more principles driven. Cheers.

[@glansouq]

His explanation was detailed and easy to understand. Thank you very much for an excellent job. The path to becoming a Harvard professor or to setting up his own school of management. I love it, Sir Ricardo, just keep going...

[@vanessa26]

[@Matt-vo1ge]

Thanks, you are a gifted lecturer - appreciated.

[@rvvargas]

Thank you very much for your feedback. Much success to you! 😃

[@actavisteq1282]

Wow. I think the best part about this video is the idea shift in motivation to learn the framework for the real value it brings and not the pure value of the title from the test. I thank the PMP Reddit users for bringing me here! I actually wish I watched this FIRST before starting PDU courses and other learning tracks. I’ll be going back to them but now I actually feel like I’m moving forward!

[@danielledeangelis6281]

Ricardo's videos are my favorite! I have been studying for my PMP exam and for some reason, he explains everything exactly the way I need to hear it (especially Critical Path)! Highly, highly recommend all his videos!

Many Thanks Ricardo Vargas! Excellent Video with very clear explanations with graphical illustrations. Thanks for giving the essence of underlying principles of PMBOK 7th and also explaining how the 7th edition is NOT replacing or contradicting previous standards/principles. I really liked your key message that whatever may be your method, delivering value is the key. It is also great to see that PMI has put lots of efforts to make the 7th edition appealing and befitting for the emerging PM trends/methods across the globe.

Blew me away. Excellent explanation. Basically re-weaponized my PM tools. Haven't had anything like this since the original PMBOK by Max Wideman. His definition of a project being an idea brought to reality is genius.
