The primary purpose of this book is to increase the reader’s understanding of the 600+ Inputs, Tools & Techniques, and Outputs (ITTOs) in preparation for the PMP Exam. Moreover, it aims to reduce the difficulty of this area by elevating reader confidence whereby they will apply ITTOs to their advantage during the PMP Exam. Another essential aspect is to promote understanding over memorization of ITTOs. Mastering the ITTOs is a significant hurdle to clear. This book supplements the PMBOK® Guide, making it a must study source designed to enhance your prospects of passing the PMP Exam on the first attempt.

The content of this book delivers descriptions of the 10 knowledge areas and 47 processes. It then drills-down to condensed descriptions of each ITTO without compromising what’s needed for the PMP Exam. Each section is accompanied by images to reinforce understanding. This ensures a quick-access, quick-read format for an area that potentially causes concern for many PMP candidates. Some key areas that present difficulties to many PMP students include: ITTOs, Earned Value, Critical Path, Qualitative vs. Quantitative Risk Analysis, and Configuration Management. A goal for baseline3 is to identify such areas and provide comprehensive and easy-to-understand descriptions in order to support student study effort. Is the benefit of mastering ITTOs worth the effort? Well, the PMP Exam includes a randomly selected block of 200 questions. Subsequently, each exam is quite different, and the number of ITTO related questions can vary. However, ITTOs can also be used as incorrect options in many multiple-choice questions. This book will assist the reader in quickly dismissing such options so they can arrive at the correct answer more confidently. Reduce the risk, increase your exam preparedness, and pass the exam first time!
