Abstract. The main purpose of this course is to prepare you for the PMI's Project Management Professional (PMP) certification by teaching the basics of project management. The course uses the sequential learning technique: a topic only depends on the previously covered topics and there is no hopping from topic to topic. In other words, you prepare for the exam in the process of learning the fundamentals of project management in a classroom learning style: two in one. A concise, comprehensive, and self-contained coverage of the project management topics is provided with a laser sharp focus on the PMP exam objectives.
