Dears PMPs certfied members, Does someone knows, if there is any concrete case study going through all the 47 Processes? It would be very helpful to understand the subtilities of these activities, and the corresponding ITTOs (especially in the Planning Process Group). Thanks in advance for your support (I am an aspirant to PMP Certification) Best regards, Alexandra Saving Changes...
Hi Anupam. Thanks a lot for your quick answer. I already seen these case studies. Maybe my request was not clear enough.. I will take an example: Let's imagine, a Sponsor has a great idea, to build a bridge aiming to decrease the traffic in Brussels. What I would like to see, is the step by step progress of this idea, becoming a real project. It should be very useful to understand what is expected (as output) by the end of each process, and it should also helps undertsnding the T&T. Thanks again, and Have a nice day

Thank you so much. It seems to be inspiring :)
I already read p95 that "planning" is often the most difficult and unappreciated part...
I confirm, for me it is the more "indigest" part
Thanks again;

Alexandra,
It will be somehow difficult to find a fully complete step by step example (You might find one) but before I applied for my PMP, I had the same concerns as you and reading the PMBOK alone did not help me fully understand all the ITTO's but when I read Rita Mulcahy's Book, it really helped me a lot in developing an overall understand of all ITTO's
Good Luck.

Hi Alexandra,
again i just can't underline more what Rami already has mentioned.
You need to use at least one or two prep books accordingly to the PMBoK Guide for PMP preparation and you will see that all this processes and ITTOs and son on become much clearer immediatly.
While Rita's book as many great examples i like most the storys in the HEAD First Prep book which are used to explain the stuff. Very visual approach there what helped me a lot in understanding.

I really need to visualise and remember concrete examples to make these T&T remain in my little brain :)
Thanks for your interest in my concern

Hi Alex,
you are welcome. I am always glad if i could help, cause it is my passion to help PMP aspirants in there preparation.
For instance i am also one of the administrators in the worlds biggest and most active PMP related discussion group on LinkedIN: "I want to be a PMP".
You should have a look there too if you are not member of the group already ... ;)
Regarding this ITTO thing, please do not try to memorize all those more than 600 ITTOs.
It is not necessary to remember them and from my perspective it is waste of time just to try.
Furthermore you need to understand the process flows and if you do so all those ITTOs will came flying by, trust me.
Please refer to this guide regarding this topic:
? The Complete Guide to PMP ITTO (Inputs, Tools, Techniques and Outputs) ?

Alex,
Markus is a saving angel. I joined this community a year ago and since that time, he always jumped in to help others with as much info as he can.
As for your comment on Rita's Book, there are lots of example in her book, as you read, you will realize that you will have a full understanding which will make things much easier for you.
It took me personally 4 months to study for the exam so as Markus said, it is a project by itself but it is worth it.
