PMP Exam to reflect PMBOK® Guide-Third Edition updates in third quarter 2005

The Project Management Professional (PMP®) Exam will remain in alignment with the PMBOK® Guide–2000 Edition until third quarter 2005. At that time, the PMP Exam will be updated and developed according to a new Role Delineation Study, and aligned to the PMBOK® Guide-Third Edition and other reference material revised since the last exam update.

Hi Debra and Raj:

First, I want to thank both of you for posting the summaries. I find them very helpful.

I do have a copy of questions.

1. The summary about Agile Programming - can the PMP guidelines be used in Agile Programming? I did not get this answer in the summary.

2. The formulas for "mean" and "expected value" are the same. Does that mean the two terms are the same?

Thanks.
May

Hi May,

I'm glad you find the site useful. To answer your questions.

QUESTION 1: Can the PMP guidelines be used in Agile Programming?

As you probably know, the PMP certification is based on "A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK Guide)". If I'm not mistaken, Agile method applies principles of project management differently than discussed in the PMBOK. Your best bet may to Google the following phrase to see the different theories people have.
PMBOK "agile project management"

At any rate, you should just focus on the PMBOK for the PMP certification test.


QUESTION 2: Does the two terms "mean" and "expected value" have the same meaning?

That's a good question. From what I can tell, when used in some formulas, "mean" and "expected value" do mean the same thing. After Googling the phrase, it seems like it depends on context. I don't know if that answered you 100% but that's my best guess right now.
