Knowledge Areas and Processes Mnemonics

Raj found these memorization aids amusing and helpful to remember the knowledge areas and processes. Advice from PMP cert group:

• It is helpful to do a brain dump of the knowledge areas, processes (core/facilitating) and formulae onto paper before the exam starts.
  
• Everyone stresses ITTO - inputs outputs tools and techniques - apparently there are at least 15 - 20 questions about these.
