Book Description
A PMP certification is more than just passing a test. It means that you have the knowledge to solve most common project problems, and proves that you know your stuff. Once you’re certified, your projects are more likely to succeed because you have the skills and knowledge to make them successful. Not only that, it can mean a better job , more money , and greater respect from your peers.
But studying for a difficult four-hour exam on projectmanagement isn’t easy, even for experienced project managers . You want to remember everything that you’re learning about project management, but your brain is working against you! Your brain craves novelty, and most PMP certification prep books are anything but novel. When you keep putting down a boring book instead of studying, it’s because your brain doesn’t think the information in it is worth learning. Your brain has more important stuff to think about, like how to keep you alive and out of danger-and it doesn’t think that failing the PMP exam qualifies as life-threatening!
So how do you trick your brain into thinking that your life does depend on learning everything you need to know to pass the PMP Exam? Head First PMP is the answer! Using the latest research in neurobiology, cognitive science and learning theory, Head First PMPhas a visually rich format designed for the way your brain works-a multi-sensory experience that helps the material stick, not a text-heavy approach that puts you to sleep.

This book helps you prepare for the PMP certification exam with a unique method that goes beyond answers to specific questions and makes you think about the big picture of project management.
