Lot of people ask me Varun should we memorize ITTO. My response to them is I would never recommend you to waste your time on memorizing the ITTO's. Instead think from this perspective that why a particular input an input to a process, why a tool is a tool to that process and why a particular output an output to that process. If you are able to give reasoning to yourself on these 3 questions then you are all set. PMP exam will be 98% scenario based and not a single straightforward question will come on ITTO. Give more priority to understanding than memorization
Happy learning and reach out to me in case you have any PMP related questions and need any help. Saving Changes...
Memorizing them for the exam is a tricky thing. It would help for the exam if you could memorize all of them, however, you better to have a good understanding of the background logic. This makes the memorizing easier.
In the work environment, you may have checklists and references for this, so you do not need to have them on top of your mind as a member of a project. Saving Changes...
Not Exactly Memorization.
But it is good to remember or good understanding of ITTOs for PMP Exams.
Understanding the ITTOs is vital to pass the PMP Exam. In PMP exam so many questions , can be answered correctly if you have a solid understanding of the Inputs, Tools & Techniques, and Outputs of the Processes and their interactions . Saving Changes...

Memorizing will not do you any good if you do not fully understand the concepts and logic behind those ITTO’s. Yet might help you answer a few questions but no further than that. I suggest you fully understanding everything and then when you do so, you will realize that it will be easy for you to remember. Saving Changes...

Memorizing ITTOs is neither required nor practical. Just memorize the process names with their correct process group and knowledge area. In other words, you should be able to re-produce the table given on page 25 of PMBOK6. I also advise my students to remember "Rita's process chart". This chart divides the 49 processes into almost 90 logical "actions" and that helps a lot to answer scenario based questions. Saving Changes...

Questions in the PMP certification exam are situational questions. It has no sense to memorize the PMBOK. You have to understand the PMBOK because it question requires to locate in time and place the question is requesting. Saving Changes...
I did but I wouldn't recommend it. It really only helped me in around 2-3 questions, and for the many days and hours I spent memorizing, it isn't worth it. Instead, memorize the process flows. Saving Changes...

Offcourse it can help but as my other colleagues mentioned it is not a mandatory requirement. Most of your questions in PMP will be scenario based and not on straight forward ITTO's. Let me know if you need a ITTO's sheet which I used in my PMP preparation, I can email it to you

That is of course required. Not only the names of the processes but you have to remember their process group also. "Rita's process chart" is also very helpful.

Hello Jeremiah,
I have emailed you the ITTO's sheet. Let me know if you got it. If you are currently preparing for PMP exam then I can send you a step by step study plan also. Do you need that? If yes, then just let me know the number of hours you can take out for self study?
