PMP 35 Contact Hours Online Course – PMBOK7 Content Update

 

I'm pleased to announce the public availability of the updated PMP 35 Contact Hours course:  

PMP 35 Contact Hours Online Course,
updated with PMBOK7 Content

The course, PMP 35 Contact Hours Online has enabled many professionals to be a certified PMP. Professionals have gone through this course and a few have written their success stories. 

This course also comes with a full-money back guarantee for 15 days. There are no tricky terms and conditions written in very small letters to deceive you. In fact, there no terms and conditions at all. You can check here.

Why the Update for PMBOK, 7th Edition?

The Exam Content Outline (ECO) for the PMP exam has remain unchanged since 2021. However, the PMBOK guide has seen a new edition, i.e., the PMBOK Guide, 7th edition. This edition provides a principle-based approach to project management. Hence, this course needed an update.

Do note that the PMBOK Guide, 6th edition is no longer available for download, but there is a new practice guide called Process Group Practice Guide (PG2) from PMI. This guide is very similar to PMBOK6. I call this guide as PG-PG in short, or just PG2. 

The launch of this process groups guide was needed as the Exam Content Outline has a dedicated domain called "Process", which actually follows a process-based approach. You're also expected to get 50% of your PMP exam questions from this Process domain.

In other words, without knowing the processes, you can't really prepare for the exam. Taking some examples, in the Domain II of "Process", we have tasks such as:

• Plan and manage schedule
• Plan and manage scope
• Plan and manage quality of products/deliverables
• Plan and manage procurements
• Plan and manage budget and resources

As you go through them and check the associated tasks, you'll find it has almost 100% overlap with process-based approach of PMBOK, 6th edition, which are now reflected in the Process Group, A Practice Guide (PG2).  

So, where does PMBOK, 7th edition fit in?

As noted earlier, PMBOK, 7th edition comes with a principle-based, not process-based, approach. It has 12 principles, 8 performance domains and a number of models, methods and artifacts (MMAs). This edition of PMBOK no way negates the content of the PMBOK6 or the PG2. In fact, in certain areas, it complements them! Indeed, there is a Process Group Model in PMBOK7 with which you can connect with PMBOK6. 

The current updates for the PMP 35 Contact Hours Course are primarily driven by the below factors:

• Availability or updates to existing guides and standards: Availability of the new PMBOK Guide, 7th edition and Process Group, A Practice Guide (or PG2).
• A New Principle-Based Approach: PMBOK7 advocates for a principle-based approach.   
• Feedback from exam takers: Some successful PMPs, who have used this 35 contact hours course, write their exam experiences and share their learnings. These are genuine PMPs or exam takers – not fake, anonymous profiles, or bots spreading fantasy stories on a number of social media channels.  

With this background, there have been frequent and continuous updates to:

All these updates have been free for existing customers of this video course.

What’s New – PMP 35 Contact Hours Online Course

These updates have happened over years and there have been a number of updates, including the fresh updates with respect to the PMBOK Guide, 7th edition. 

Following are a few highlights of these updates. 

1. NEW Videos for 12 Project Management Principles (PRs)

In PMBOK7, for the first time 12 principles of project management have been added. Each principle (PR) is explained in a dedicated video. 

2. NEW Videos for 8 Performance Domains (PDs)

Unlike the knowledge areas (KA), which are outcome focused, the PDs are outcome focused. This is distinct shift in thinking as outcomes leads to benefits, which in turn translate to value.

3. NEW Videos for Models, Methods and Artifacts (MMAs) 

Models, Methods and Artifacts have been explained in the new lesson of PMBOK7 Management. As you proceed, you'd find that we've discussed many in the earlier edition (PMBOK6). Similar content is also available in the Process Group Practice Guide (PG2). 

Nevertheless, the way in which they are applied on the PDs will be different. Again, PDs emphasize on outcomes, not outputs.  

4. NEW Practice Questions and Answers 

A number of new practice questions and answers are added for the PMBOK, 7th edition. This will help you practice the concepts you learned earlier. 

These are part of the new Lesson - PMBOK7 Management.  

These exercises are separate from the full-length practice tests.

5. UPDATED Videos for Agile 

Few videos in the Agile Project Management lesson have been updated. These are based on feedback from users of the course, many of whom have went on to become PMPs.

6. UPDATED Preparation Plan for the PMP 35 Contact Hours Course, i.e., how to Prepare with the Course 

This course had a preparation plan from the very beginning. It has been updated in light of the new contents, new videos and exercises.  

7. UPDATES to Course Index File

The index file is important to know the content of the course. As the course gets updated the index file also gets updated with clear highlighting for the NEW, as well as the UPDATED content. You will also know if any item has been removed. 

How Will I Know about the Updates?

Professionals and aspirants who want to purchase the PMP 35 Contact Hours course, raise this question frequently. I understand this concern and below points clearly inform how to know about the updates.

1. All changes will be clearly communicated to you via E-Mail. 
2. Inside this online course, the new ones will be highlighted as *** NEW ***, and the updates ones will be *** UPDATED ***. Green color coding will be there for these changes in the communicated mails. All emails will be part of update E-mail archive.

Conclusion

With these changes, the course, PMP 35 Contact Hours Online, remains fresh and latest. 

These changes will enable you to prepare better for the PMP exam. These updates will help your prepare for the PMP exam in 2025 and well into later part of 2026.

Book for PMP Exam Prep: I Want To Be A PMP, 2nd Edition – Updated with PMBOK7 Content

I’m pleased to announce the public availability of the book for the Project Management Professional (PMP®) exam preparation, updated with PMBOK7 content. 

'I WANT TO BE A PMP - The Plain and Simple Way to be A PMP',

updated with PMBOK7 Content

The book continues to remain in the second edition, but with this extensive update with respect to PMBOK7 and Process Group Practice Guide. PMBOK7 is added as another management way, i.e., a principle-based approach to manage projects. It’s a separate and dedicate chapter of the book. 

With this update, the I Want To Be A PMP book, is now fully aligned with:

• PMBOK Guide, 7th and 6th editions
• Process Groups – A Practice Guide (PG2) from PMI
• Very similar to PMBOK Guide, 6th edition
• Agile Practice Guide from PMI 
• A list of reference books (latest, see here)

Now, few important questions first, which I usually receive while interacting with aspiring PMPs.

Question – 1: Is the PMBOK Guide, 8th edition available? When it'll be effective?

Answer: Yes. It’s available this month – November, 2025. 

It’ll be effective later next year (2026). It’s almost one year away. You’ve sufficient time to prepare for the PMP exam. You need not wait 1 year to prepare.

Question – 2: Why should one go with this book?

Answer: It has the addition of principle-based approach to project management. PMBOK8 has also a principle-based approach. In addition, there are a lot of commonalities with PMBOK8 when you combine PMBOK6 and PMBOK7. Hence, it'll help you going forward.

Question – 3: Is PMBOK7 content coming in the PMP exam in 2024/25?

Answer: I’ve frequently informed that PMBOK7 content in the actual PMP exam is low. In fact, a recent PMP Success Story confirmed so - didn't get a single question from PMBOK7. Earlier, another PMP Success Story wrote on it. However, it's good to know PMBOK7 content.

Question – 4: Are the courses of PMP 35 Contact Hours and PMP Live Lessons getting updated?

Answer: Yes, both the above courses are being updated now. They will be available with PMBOK7 content.

Now, the PMBOK Guide, 7th edition (PMBOK7) has 12 principles, 8 performance domains along with a number of models, methods and artifacts (MMAs). This book incorporates them with special emphasis on the areas, where you might face questions.

Since the release of I Want To Be A PMP book in 2021 with Agile content (see here), the book has seen multiple success stories. You can read the success stories here. 

Writing a book is not easy. For enabling me to write this book, I want to thank Shreya A S, Ashita Singh, Shalini Pathak, Amodh Sinha, Shivakumar Viswanathan, Varun Amirthakumar, Kumari Varsha Goel, Rohit Kumar Pandey, Bibhuti Bhusan Bagha, Ram Babu, Bhavani Sankar, V Satya Viswanadha Raju, Poornima Nagaraja, Tanushree Bhoi, Prasad Ramamurthy Kadambi, Rahul Nagle, Vinny Dsilva, Kavita Nambiar, Sarayu Gajendra, Shams Ul Haq, Vishwa Deepak Tiwari, Sandip Kumar Nath, Annarao Patil, Sandeep Jacob, Ansuman Mishra, Shubhra Rishi, Adinarayana Murthy Bhuvanagiri, Masood Ahmed, and Lakshmi Narayan Dash.

They not only became PMPs (since 2021), but also wrote their success stories. Very few people do that. Usually, less than 5% write. But that’s important as they believe, one day, you can be a PMP, too.

The book has also seen continuous internal updates from 2021.

Agile on the Fly! Mastering Real-Time Sprint Operations with MS Project Agile (2)

In the first part of this article (read here), we understood the following:

• Our Current Sprint State
• Performing Activate/Inactivate Operation
• Performing Delete Operation
• Performing Add Operation

In this part, we will check certain additional operations, which are crucial as you manage your Sprint hands-on. There are many other operations, which you - the Scrum Master or Product Owner - have to perform in your Scrum project. Detailed, hands-on videos are part of the Mastering MS Project Agile course. See here.

We will start with the modify operation. 

Performing Modify Operation

As you proceed with your Sprint, you are also likely to perform several edit or modify operations, such as duration, resources, start date, and end date, among others. This can be done by simply double-clicking on the Card (work item) in the Current Sprint Planning Board view and changing the necessary fields. 

As shown for the featured item of Create a new user, I first double-clicked on the corresponding card, and then I can change the resources in the popped-up Task Information dialog box. You can change multiple fields with this option. 

You can also select the card, right-click and choose the Information option from the drop-down list to see the Task Information dialog box. 

Performing Move Operation

Not every work item included in the Current Sprint will be completed. It’s highly possible that some of the items are not started or are partially complete. In such a case, the items are to be moved into the next Sprint. This is one of the rules in the Scrum framework (see here). Note that the incomplete feature items don’t count toward velocity (see here). 

To move a work item into the next Sprint, again you can use the Current Sprint Board view. Select the work item (Card) and use the Move to Next Sprint command from the list. 

When you use this command, the item will be moved into the immediate next Sprint, not any other! To be sure, you can verify it in the Sprint Planning Sheet view, which is for all the Sprints in the project. Keep in mind that once a work item is complete, it won’t be visible in the Current Sprint Board or Current Sprint Sheet view. This is because of the Sprint Planning Filter (see here).  

As shown in the above figure, the feature Edit an existing user is now part of Sprint 2. Earlier, it was part of Sprint 1.

As it’s moved into the next immediate Sprint, the board status is maintained as Next up. The % Complete value for this work item will also be preserved. Your team can work on this item in the next Sprint. 

Performing % Complete Change Operation

While the % Complete mapping is done for the various workflow states in the Board, it’s not written on stone. For example, in our case the % Complete Mapping is %, 10%, 50%, and 100% for Sprint Backlog, Next up, In progress and Done, respectively. 

It’s possible that you may want to change this % Complete for a particular work item. This can be done by opening the Task Information dialog box and changing the % Complete value in the General tab. This is shown below. 

As shown, for the work item, I’ve changed the % Complete to 20%, in place of the default 10%. You can cross-check this % complete update in the Current Sprint Sheet view.  

While you changed the % Complete value to 20%, notice that the Board Status is not changed, and it still remains in the Next up workflow state.

Demonstration and Key Points

Now, let’s demonstrate what we have learned so far, along with some key points to remember while adjusting a Sprint in progress. I’ve prepared the below video [duration: 5m: 29s] for this purpose. For the best experience, you may want to go full screen in HD mode and plug in your earphones.

Conclusion

In some of the cases, it’s possible that while performing these operations, resources may be overallocated. You can quickly solve overallocation using the Team Planner view available with MS Project Online Desktop client, which has the Agile features.

Projects, like human beings, are living entities. Just as every human being changes, so does a project. If the environment is high-churn, then humans must rapidly adapt and adopt, and so does a Sprint project.

This article outlines certain key operations to adjust a Sprint project. I hope it gives you the understanding to perform various operations within a Sprint, the confidence to conduct any operation in a Scrum project, and brings value to your work.
