Two New Blog Articles
|
|
Check the PMillustrated Blog for two new articles.
|
- Understanding the PMP Exam Question Writing Process – This article takes you inside the process of creating PMP questions. It explains how topics are researched, qualified and referenced before becoming a PMP exam question. It also explains why situational questions are the preferred format for testing the application of knowledge. <Read Post Button>
- Two Years of PMillustrated - September 2023 marks the second anniversary of the feature-complete PMillustrated.com website. This post recounts The Good, The Bad and the Ugly of this development experience and outlines what's next for the site. Time.

Website Improvements
|
- Login Improvements – The login section has been made easier to find in the hope of getting a few more people registered (free or paid)
- More Testimonials – The site continues to receive great testimonials from people using it to pass their PMP exam. Check out the new ones or submit your own on the Testimonials Page.

(Still) Under Development - Branching Scenarios
|
|
I am still working on adding project simulations with branching scenarios to the site. These will allow more realistic project scenario questioning. Instead of single correct/incorrect response questions, project stories such as What-to-do-next and What-to-bring type questions will be explored. How you respond drives the simulation to successful, sub-optimal, or failure situations.
|
|
These outcome-based learning simulations are more engaging, impactful and sticky than multiple-choice questions. While you will not see outcome-based simulations on the PMP exam (yet), they are an emerging trend in adult learning as a more effective way to master concepts faster.

Does Your Study Need a Boost?
|
|
|
Add some structure and accountability by joining the upcoming Live Mentoring Study Program. I will be hosting live weekly Zoom mentoring sessions.
|
|
|
|
|
It works like this: You read materials in your own time, then join me to ask any questions you may have and review exam questions on the weekly topics. Members also get extra exam questions to test their knowledge and access to a members-only LinkedIn Group to share resources and study tips.
|
|
|
The community group and weekly schedule of topics create accountability to your study plan. If you need an extra push and want to learn in a cohort of peers with live Q&A check it out. The weekly topics follow the new ATP teaching sequence, so they are a familiar revision sequence for anyone who has taken a PMP bootcamp.
|
|
More details to come on this, but if you are interested, I suggest you Join the Waitlist to stay informed.

New Proctored Exam Forensics
|
|
Starting September 25, proctored exams taken at home will no longer receive exam results immediately after completion. This allows PMI to check for people wearing smart glasses that scan onscreen questions and whisper the correct answer.
|
(Additional security procedures have been implemented - but not for this reason.)

Thanks for your interest in PM illustrated. Learning should be fun, and visual learning boosts comprehension and recall. I hope to build a truly valuable learning site for anyone studying project management. Thanks for being part of this process, and please let me know if you have any suggestions mike@pmillustrated.com.
