PMBOK 4th Edition -- This Time It's Iterative

Came across this intersting article about the new PMBOK 4th Edition Update and some argument about how it is starting to show more "embodiment of iterative approaches." I agree this could help the cause for those "arguing the case for agile adoption in PMBOK focused organizations."

**Our PMP Boot Camp will be making the switch to the PMBOK 4th edition material this June to help transition into the updated test. For more information on the course visit http://aspe-sdlc.com/courses/4200B/

Another Satisfied Customer -- Warren Dyer, PMP Certification Exam Boot Camp

We'd like to thank Warren Dyer for his recent note regarding his experience with our PMP Certification Exam Boot Camp. Congratulations on passing your PMP Exam on the first attempt! Come back and see us as you work towards your recertification. 

To the ASPE team,

As one who recently passed the PMP Certification Exam on the first attempt, I would like to say that my experience with ASPE’s PMP Exam Boot Camp was above and beyond what I had initially expected. So many products guarantee results, but this one delivered. Both the PMBOK Guide and the PMP Study Guide used in the course were exceptional tools, as were the handouts and examples provided by the instructor. His content delivery was clear and concise, with hands-on project management exercises that brought the PMP exam methodologies into sharp focus.

Though a long time information technology project manager for the United States Air Force and the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center, I still found the PMP Certification Exam to be extremely challenging. Anyone approved to sit for the exam should definitely avail themselves of the ASPE PMP Exam Boot Camp.

Thank you!

Warren Dyer, MS, PMP
