I cleared my PMP exam recently. The content on your channel is absolutely amazing. Solved your 150 questions on PMBOK 7, 200 on Agile and also went through numerous videos on the course content including this one. The 1 hour wrap up on PMBOK 7 and Process group is amazing. A big thank you to you David. God bless..

[@muttoon]

The irony was that I was asking myself just yesterday evening why DM never came up with a comprehensive 1-2 hr PMBOK Process Groups video. Well, the world is full of pleasant surprises!

[@natasn7500]

Still can't believe this quality of information is available for free.. excellent job as always!

[@andreagombos]

Hi David, I passed my PMP exam on 25 April 2024. I failed it on 7 February though I felt I know the content... I was emotionally down, wasn't sure what to study, which tests to purchase to practice. Your videos, what I watched for weeks day and night helped me to prepare both mentally for the exam and to know how to look at the questions through PMI eye for testing. Thankful for all your video, tutorial materials you share on youtube. Keep up helping the project manager community :)

[@franzbartolome6201]

Hey, this is awesome news! I don't know you, but man, congratulations! I'm studying up for CAPM as I'm not yet qualified for PMP but I'm getting overwhelmed by the materials I'm learning day to day. I'm on my second week studying and planning to take it mid May. I know that you opted for PMP exam, but any tips here on taking the exam?

[@linwill5186]

Hi David, I just passed my PMP exam yesterday. I study exclusively with your content, and all your videos are super helpful and helped me pass the exam. I just wanted to send you a quick thank you to express my gratitude.

[@sumcha_99]

Thank you David! You are awesome! You gave me the confidence and the ways of working thru my PMP exam journey! I passed with 3 AT! I recived my results today! Thank you again! Your energy and postive vibes thru out and the excitement to teach and learn! Thanks!

[@GbemisolaAde-xq7lx]

Excellent David, I am learning a lot from your videos, Best regard

[@SasidharReddy-fs3xe]

David, I must thank you for a great deal of advice you rendered through the way you assessed each question in practices review. I passed my PMP exam last Friday, I really appreciate your part in that. Thank you much !!

[@weronikakunka684]

Perfect timing to watch and review the content of this book just before my exam on Thursday ❤

[@NishaSingh-vm3ji]

Thanks David your videos were really helpful for PMP preparation, I passed my PMP 2 days back and got Above target in all 3 domain.

Mucha gracias por tu esfuerzo y dedicación David, tus videos me fueron de ayuda para realizar el PMP y obtener mi certificado 🙂.

[@rdtychyptr]

Oh my God u back, thanks Dave

[@bossmel]

Hi David! Super helpful! Will you make this diagram available as a PDF?

[@joudjouda1202]

Well explained

[@qm3384]

Excellent work, David！I passed my PMP with all three areas above target a couple weeks ago. But I still find your videos very useful after this effort!

[@arnaudquirin2165]

What are these 3 areas please?

[@jtroshani]

Hi David, thank you very much for the wonderful content you share. Do you have any suggestions on how to prepare for the PgMP Exam at PMI?

[@asdfkljlkjdfkg2290]

1st. Passed btw thanks to your question and answer video.

[@rashidsayyed4400]

You are a PMP bomb with a suppressor❤

[@temurjurayev1731]

Mr David First of all, Many thanks for this wonderful class! I was wondering if there was there any discount on templates for a full-time student?

[@gayathriramesh8809]

Hi David, Can't thank you enough for your videos. Could you please make a video on Business Analysis Frameworks for CAPM exam??

[@davidmclachlanproject]

I can. Do you have a source or book in mind? (i.e PMI Guide to Business Analysis?). The tools there are the same as in the PMBOK Guide, and the process is largely similar but with the main focus on requirements and scope 🙂

[@wondimugobena3275]

Dear David, thank you for the video. On which material should I give focus, PMP 6th edition or 7th edition?

[@jonathanstewart8997]

Hi David, How is risk register a project document input for define scope when sequentially the risk register is an output of identify risks and comes later in the planning process group? It seems like a circular argument because the input for identify risks is the scope baseline.

[@davidmclachlanproject]

You are right, in that it is circular. It doesn't necessarily all go in a straight line. And on the first pass we might not use risks as an input, but as the project evolves we can 🙂

[@Justin_Numbers]

David-is there a reason I cannot find your course on business Udemy? Is it not offered there?

[@Alexander_PM]

Dear David , thanks for your presentation! Can you please share what software did you use for this animated presentation? Looks like some whiteboard ?

[@davidmclachlanproject]

It is PowerPoint 🙂

[@Alexander_PM]

@@davidmclachlanproject so you have created extremely wide power point page and used animation to show processes in the right order, but how you made a notes ? Stylus ?

[@Sage.highstrike]

Is this entire mind map presentation available somewhere?

[@tinalloyd8711]

Hello is there away to print the training out? I want to use for studying for the Pmp I failed my first time😢

[@norhayatinoradin3887]

Same :(

[@tinalloyd8711]

@@norhayatinoradin3887 I’m sorry to hear that it is so heartbreaking but we cannot give up if it’s really what we want I am assessing that myself I must admit. I’m also assessing what can I do differently now that I know what to expect. I wish you the best on whatever your decision is. Just know you are not alone. I am sad but doing my best to press through it.

[@user-rf5lz6ix3m]

Im glad u r not giving up. Is the test different from the questions from the ones he have in his videos?

[@d.a.7892]

There is an aspect to this that seems circular to me. When in the Initiating process of identifying stakeholders, how can the Communication Management Plan be an input when it is a Planning process, which comes after Initiation? And there are others. In the Planning stage, the first process for each Knowledge Group is "Plan [enter knowledge group name]," which are followed by the steps in planning for that group. How can Plan Schedule Management be a step in the Project Schedule Management group when the subsequent activities are the activities for planning the mangement? Defining activities, sequencing activities, estimating activity durations, and developing schedule ARE the steps for planning Schedule Management. What is there to "planning Schedule Management" that are not those things? In Communications Management, we have "Plan Communication Management" and no other steps in the Planning process. Sooo...if we know what to do to plan communication management without itemizing steps, why do we need to itemize steps in Schedule Management? Why is not equally sufficient to simply say "Plan Schedule Management" without further itemization? Maybe I'm speaking out of turn as I have only recently scheduled my exam, haven't sat for it yet. Perhaps, by the time I do sit for it, I'll better understand this; either that, or, once I'm a fully-fledged certified PMP, I might want to find a way to get more vocal/involved when it comes to revising future editions of the PMBoK.

[@davidmclachlanproject]

Great comment. You are right, but it is by design. Sometimes it can be circular, sometimes parallel (at the same time). It is just described in sequence because I can't describe two things at the same time 🙂 But yes, defining activities, estimating activities, etc, are all tasks we need to do to fill out our Schedule Management Plan. But we can still outline our schedule management PROCESS (how we will do all these things) first. And - we might come back later and adjust this process as well!

[@dgaubin]

@@davidmclachlanproject I appreciate your attentiveness and feedback. I actually do understand your reply. It reminded me of previous instructor's emphasis that the Project Management Plan can't really be done linearly, a lot of things happen concurrently as well as that no project can be managed by using everything in the PMBoK guide, as organizations and people simply do not all work the same way. This isn't about how it's written in stone, it's more about becoming conversant with all the available tools, and having the knowledge and wisdom to know which and when tools can be used to increase chances of success (and, this has been also somewhat of an attempt to apply the Feynman method, to explain something to others...um, kinda :-) Cheers, mate.

[@davidmclachlanproject]

That is brilliant! Love it. 😁

[@Skippy869]

How many questions on the PMP exam are related to this video?

[@tlindsey1977]

50% of the exam is from the Process section alone.....

[@JESUSISSAVIOR210]
