This book is a learning and training guide for the PMP®-Exam. It is written in a brain-friendly manner with a lot of exercises that stimulate both brain parts. It is really fun to understand the knowledge areas and process groups. In order to be well prepared for the exam you should use questionnaires on the internet with a lot of additional information especially in the area of calculations.

This novel about a huge project (having an extremely tight schedule) within a virtual software company describes very descriptively how project management works and also which forces rise and take effect within teams. The bizarre story demonstrates in a funny and striking manner what is really important within project management. The book has been translated into German (“Der Termin”).
