PMP Process Groups, Knowledge Areas, Processes
Project Management Professional (PMP) is an internationally recognized professional designation offered by the Project Management Institute (PMI).
The closed-book exam consists of 180 multiple-choice questions written against the PMBOK (Project Management Body of Knowledge) specification and the PMP Code of Ethics.
Since January 2021, the exam is tested on three different domains:
- People (42%)
- Process (50%)
- Business Environment (8%)
The exam is based on tasks from five performance domains or process groups, encompassing a total of 49 processes. The PMP Examination Specification weighted these groups as follows:
- Initiating the project (13%)
- Planning the project (24%)
- Executing the project (31%)
- Monitoring and controlling the project (25%)
- Closing the project (7%)
Mapped to these five process groups are ten project management Knowledge Areas:
- Project Integration Management
- Project Scope Management
- Project Schedule Management
- Project Cost Management
- Project Quality Management
- Project Resource Management
- Project Communications Management
- Project Risk Management
- Project Procurement Management
- Project Stakeholder Management
