In perspective to PMP exam preparation, how important one to know all Input-output and tool and techniques? Does it require to have them all in the memory to clear the exam?

Just to clarify, I am not asking about 49 processes, belong 10 knowledge areas and 5 Process groups. I have understood them well, I don't need any technique or trick to memorise them.

I am only struggling with Input-Output Process and Tools and Techniques and find it hard to understand it.

Thanks for the suggestions and helping me with it.

Kind Regards,
Subrat

Hi Subrat, it' not something that can be explained: patterns or commonalities for 100's of ITTO's. One example is that when examining the flow diagrams, you will see that, for example, update project documents, OPA's and EEF's appear quite a lot, and more importantly why, and this will eliminate many of the ITTO's. The penny drops for people at different times, but the only way for that to happen is study the flow diagrams and ask yourself "why is the ITTO here", see where that process comes from, and where it's going to, and why the ITTO is associated with it.
This is some good advice and it's most likely the route I will go once I get up to ITTOS.

I actually created a mind map chart of the 10 knowledge areas and their processes to not only see how it flows, but to also notice which processes are duplicated through each knowledge area or what steps are similar. From what I gather, each area starts with developing a plan, taking a course or few courses of actions and ending with a result of control and monitoring what is going on.
