  • Memorize and understand all the different kinds of theories (e.g. Maslow’s for human resources management, etc.)
  • Understand the role of the project management in different phases of the project management cycle and the various ITTO’s (e.g. change requests, conflict resolution, team building and monitoring, during project Initiation and closure)
  • Understand and know the difference between different organizational structure and the authority of the project manager
  • The terms as defined in the PMBOK® Guide Guide (the glossary)
  • Different types of estimating (analogous vs parametric)
  • Difference between quality assurance and quality control (very important)
  • Difference in the essence between project closure and administrative closure
  • The relationship between project charter and the scope of the projects
  • The different contract types in procurements
  • Some people consider the PMBOK® Guide Guide as a necessary reading for the PMP® exam while other did not even touch on it but still could pass the PMP® exam.
