A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK® Guide) – Seventh Edition and The Standard for Project Management (ENGLISH)

Want to cure insomnia? Boy have I got a special for you!!Ok in their defense this subject matter is less than interesting. I would suggest a video series on top of this book to help. But the book itself 3.5/5

Works so well, I bought it Dec. 26, 2023 and became a PM in H1 2025 without even reading it.

Good for PMs. Can recommend

Good book, easy to read and understand.

Great product.

Excellent customer service! The spiral-bound PMBOK Guide was precisely what I was looking for.

This guide is very well written and makes learning easy. So easy, that I was able to read it once through and pass the PMP exam all above target on the first try.

The information is helpful while studying for your PMP, but HOLY COW the layout of the book is horrible! Each page has about 4" of white space on the bottom - great for notes, but horrible for following concepts clearly across pages! Page breaks are arbitrary and often chop sections into two pages when they could fit on one page, making it hard to follow the content. Same thing with charts and graphs - they flow to a second page when there is ample room to keep it in line with the title and explanation of the graphic. I am constantly having to make arrows to remind me to continue to turn the page to follow a concept. A few hours of layout work would improve the effectiveness of this book as a study tool 100%. For almost $70, I expect it to be a professionally laid-out book, not what looks like a copied PDF slapped into PowerPoint and printed out. Honestly, it seems like they did this to make the book almost 300 pages instead of what would be 150 with good layout to justify the price! :D
