4. Changed concepts
  1. The project manager is not responsible for achieving the project objectives. He is now leading the project team which takes over this responsibility This is explained in chapter 1 …cool
  2. Now it is sufficient to perceive oneself as being affected of a decision, activity or outcome of a project to become a project stakeholder ..This is explained in chapter 2
  3. The project sponsor is now accountable for enabling project success This is explained in chapter 3
5. Maturity
A lot of focus goes on provide alignment with the other PMI standards, explain topics more precisely and include practical advice from project management reality.

Comparing PMBOK® Guide 4th Edition, PMBOK® Guide 5th Edition

The major change is related to stakeholder management; the subject group (aka knowledge area) has been introduced by ISO and it appears as well in the new PMBOK® Guide release. The two processes introduced by ISO in this subject group were two processes of the communication knowledge area of the PMBOK® Guide 4th edition.
1 PROCESS ORGANIZATION IN THE STANDARDS
PMPBOK5
Since the PMBOK® Guide 4th came first, we will use the wording “process groups” and “knowledge areas” in this document.
The first noticeable thing is the introduction of a new knowledge area in the DIS and the PMBOK® Guide 5th edition: Stakeholder Management.

Stakeholder Engagement -What’s New in PMBOK 5

Stakeholder Management is one of the fundamental areas of Project Management, and the level of adoption can effectively make or break your Project. The Project Management Institute has taken due cognizance of this and has incorporated ‘Project Stakeholder Management’ as a distinct Knowledge Area in the 5th edition of the PMBOK guide. It contains two processes which were part of the Communications Management knowledge area in the 4th edition and some new processes.
Stakeholder Management are 4 process:
  • Initiating -Identify Stakeholders
  • Planning – Plan Stakeholder Management
  • Executing – Manage Stakeholder Engagement
  • Monitoring & Controling -Control Stakeholder Management
13.1 Identify Stakeholder
This process has been moved from the Communications Management knowledge area without significant changes.
2 Plan Stakeholder Management
As each knowledge area now features a process creating a management plan, so here is the one on stakeholder management.
This process also introduces a new artefact in section 13.2.2.3: The Stakeholders Engagement Assessment Matrix (see Figure 13-7). It maps stakeholders regarding their current and desired levels of engagement into unaware, resistant, neutral, supportive and leading categories.
13.3 Manage Stakeholder Engagement
This is the yet another process that moved from the communications management knowledge area. It’s previous name was Manage Stakeholder Expectations and again, no significant changes were applied.
13.4 Control Stakeholder Engagement
The goal of this new process is to monitor overall stakeholder relationships and adjust strategies and plans for engaging them. So basically another control process without any surprises.

PM Formulas Variance Performance Index Estimate at Completion Percent Complete Present Future Value



PMP Formulas to Remember


http://targetpmp.wordpress.com

Concept Formula

Cost Variance (CV) CV = EV – AC
Cost Performance Index (CPI) CPI = EV / AC
Schedule Variance (SV) SV = EV – PV
Schedule Performance Index (SPI) SPI = EV / PV
Estimate at Completion (EAC) EAC = BAC / CPI
EAC = BAC / CPI
EAC = AC + BAC – EV
EAC = AC + ((BAC – EV) / CPI)
Estimate to Complete (ETC) ETC = EAC – AC
ETC = BAC – EV
ETC = (BAC – EV) / CPI
Percent Complete Percent Complete = EV / BAC * 100
Variance at Completion (VAC) VAC = BAC – EAC
Earned Value (EV) EV = % complete * BAC
Program Evaluation and Review Technique(PERT) (Pessimistic + (4 * Most Likely) +Optimistic) / 6
Total Float Total Float = LS – ESTotal Float = LF – EF
Present Value (PV) PV = FV / (1+r)^n
Future Value (FV) FV = PV * (1+r)^n

Communication Channels n * (n-1) / 2n – 1
Point of Total Assumption (PTA) PTA = ((Ceiling Price – Target Price) /Buyer’s Share Ratio) + Target Cost
Burn Rate 1/CPI
Expect more than 20 questions on the exam if you know above formulas
