About this path

This learning path follows Obalim Esedebe's (Ciel Consulting) full PMP course in its original order. It starts with an introduction to the PMP credential and the differences between projects, programs, and portfolios, then moves into the project management framework and each of the ten knowledge areas: integration, scope, schedule, cost, quality, resource, communications, risk, procurement, and stakeholder management. Most topics are split across two or more lessons, so plan to work through them in sequence. The course is delivered as recorded video lessons and is best suited to learners preparing for the PMP exam or building a foundation in formal project management practice. Note that this path reflects the course content as published and does not include practice exams or PMI contact hours.
