Session 4 Recap: Process Part 1
Hi ladies!
Great job during tonight's session! We officially moved into the Process domain, focusing on how project managers plan, make decisions, and deliver value.
One of the biggest takeaways from tonight is that knowing the processes is important, but knowing when and how to apply them is what matters on the PMP exam!
📝 What We Covered
We explored the first five tasks of the Process domain:
Task 1: Integrated Planning & Delivery – Choosing the right approach (predictive, agile, or hybrid) based on project needs.
Task 2: Scope Management – Defining scope, gaining stakeholder agreement, and managing changes.
Task 3: Value-Based Delivery – Understanding the difference between completing deliverables and achieving meaningful outcomes.
Task 4: Resource Management – Managing team capacity, workloads, and resource needs throughout the project.
Task 5: Procurement Management – Evaluating vendors, contract types, and project risks.
We also explored the seven performance domains, worked through project scenarios, and practiced applying the PMI mindset to real-world decisions.
Remember: Assess before acting, focus on value, and choose the approach that best fits the situation.
📚 Your Homework: Get a Library Card!
Yes, a library card! 😊
Your local public library may have more PMP study resources than you realize, and many are available for FREE!
This week, I want you to get a library card (if you don't already have one) and explore what your library offers.
Look for:
Project management books
Digital learning platforms and online courses (Udemy)
Audiobooks and eBooks
LinkedIn Learning or other professional development resources
Quiet study spaces and other learning tools
You may even be able to access resources online without visiting the library every time. Thank you @Moyofore for sharing!
Already have a library card? Your assignment is to explore the resources available to you and share at least ONE thing you discovered with the group!
Let's make the most of the resources we already have access to before spending more money on study materials.
Keep studying, keep asking questions, and remember that every session is helping you strengthen your project management mindset.
See you at our next session! 💜
Thank you, Paris!
