Don't Get Frustrated With PMP ITTO
Accelerate your learning by using the PMP Mind Maps based on the PMBOK Guide 6th edition.
Current Edition of The PMBOK Guide
PMI released the PMBOK Guide 7th Edition in Aug 2021 but the primary reference for the PMP exam is still 6th Edition. You can click here to find the PMP Exam reference list.
I also sent an email to Project Management Institute (PMI) asking about the primary reference guide for the PMP Exam in 2021. I asked them, "Which is the Primary Reference Guide for PMP Exam Preparation in 2021?"
Following is an excerpt from PMI's reply mail:
"Thank you for contacting the Project Management Institute.
We have received your query regarding the PMBOK guide.
We kindly need to inform you that the primary reference that you should refer back to for PMBOK guide is the 6th edition."
The PMP ITTO Mind Maps are based on the PMBOK Guide 6th Edition.
Why Are ITTO Annoying And Frustrating?
PMBOK Guide 6th edition is a huge book. It has close to 1000 pages.
There are more than 1000 ITTO across 49 processes.
It is next to impossible to memorize the ITTO.
Learning ITTO is an annoying and serious problem. But, like many other things in life, you have to overcome it.
Can you pass the CAPM / PMP exam without learning ITTO?
No! Learning ITTO is a necessary evil.
Hey! I am Praveen Malik.
I passed my PMP exam in the year 2005. In those days the PMBOK Guide was much thinner. It was about the one-fourth the size of today's version. The number of processes and ITTO were much less.
In 2005, I had many anxious moments while preparing for the PMP Exam. I just could not memorize the ITTO but I still passed the exam with flying colors.
How did I pass? I found some unique ways to learn and understand the ITTO.
I became a full time trainer and coach in the year 2008. As an independent trainer, I wanted to provide the best study material to my students. So, I started creating new study material.
I created the first draft of ITTO mind maps as an independent PMP trainer and shared it with my students.
Initially, I was quite apprehensive about the mind maps. I didn't know if they will work. I thought what if the the students did not like them. But, to my surprise the students just loved them.
After the positive feedback, I created a full blown PMP ITTO Mind Maps eBook for the exam aspirants. Over the years I have refined and updated them to reflect the changes in the PMBOK Guide.
You don't have to go through the trial and tribulations of memorizing ITTO.

Mind Maps Are The Best Tools To Learn Anything
Idea mapping is a whole-brained visual think approach. It engages and exploits both hemispheres of your brain.
Many researches prove the power and utility of mind mapping. It is a very potent technique that helps in many different situations.
Among many other things, this technique can be used for brainstorming, organizing note-taking, problem-solving, planning, creativity, and presentations. It improves productivity, saves time, and enhances learning.

The map starts with a central idea in the middle. It has branches to represent sub-ideas. If required, the branches can be forked out into sub-branches.
You can create as many branches and sub-branches (as needed) to support your central idea. You can use word, images, sketches, and lines to represent your ideas. The topics and sub-topics can be distinguished by using different colors, images, and sketches.
I think by drawing, so I'll draw or diagram everything from a piece of furniture to a
stage gesture. I understand things best when they're in graphics, not words.

What Others Are Saying About PMP Mind Maps
Clever use of colors & multi-layer/hierarchical structure
It has a clever use of colors & multi-layer/hierarchical structure for new-learners to understand the difference between "control risks" and "manage risks", "managing quality" vs "controlling quality" etc. It is worth it.
It is worth it. I passed the PMP exam.
