Product DescriptionIn this book, best selling author, Paul Sanghera, offers cohesive, concise, yet comprehensive coverage of all the topics included in the PgMP exam. With a laser sharp focus on the exam objectives, the Study Guide goes beyond just being an 'exam cram.' The material is presented in a logical learning sequence: a section builds upon previous sections and a chapter on previous chapters. All concepts, simple and complex, are defined and explained when they appear the first time. There is no hopping from topic to topic and no technical jargon without explanation. Because no prior knowledge of program management is assumed, this book will be useful for both: those new to program management, as well as individuals with years of experience. Although the primary purpose of the book is to help you pass the PgMP exam, it will also serve as a great reference for the program managers before and after the exam.
Special Features:
Hundreds of review questions with fully explained answers
A complete practice exam with fully explained answers
The real world scenarios to help you deal with the program management issues in the real world and also to answer the scenario based questions in the exam
Notes and tips to highlight the crucial points
Exam’s Eye View section at the end of each chapter to emphasize the important points from the exam’s perspective
Key Terms section at the end of each chapter that lists the important terms and concepts introduced in the chapter along with their definitions
The exam objectives fully explained before their coverage in each chapter

Rating: - Good PgMP Exam prep
Hats off to Dr. Sanghera for writing a very well structured PgMP exam study guide. I thoroughly read through this book twice and used the flashcards to prepare for the exam. I also took the ESI course (highly recommended for the 4x 170 question prep exams), read through the PgMP Exam Spec twice, and pretty much memorized the PgMP Standard.
I used this book during the early stages of my study routine. I am not PMP certified (not a requirement for the PgMP) and was looking for a book ... Read More
Rating: - Program Management: Objective & structured approach
Being involved in one of the huge program of deploying an unified business model on a global scale, I was looking for a knowledge source to fit in and relate what we do in practice and what is generally accepted practice in the field. That is how I stumbled on this book (basically I decided to buy this after reading the reviews in Amazon). Since I have to agree with most of the reviews already put in there (especially those positive ones), I try to provide my views avoiding the ones already indicated ... Read More
Rating: - Very Useful Book
I have read this book from cover to cover and found it the best of all the available PgMP and Program Management books. All of us are entitled to our opinions, but I would take those reviews with a grain of salt that blast (trash) this book to advertise the competitor products. Here is my balanced view: you will do yourself a great service if you go through this book very carefully before taking the exam. Of course, you can use other resources and products as well. There are three things that this book ... Read More
Rating: - NOT a Good Study Choice
I took (and passed) the PgMP exam just yesterday (8/26/08). The exam was absolutely NOTHING like this book. The materials covered in this book were weak at best. I took ESI International's online course, used their practice exams, used Aileen Ellis's online test questions and read through the PgMP Standard & Exam Spec. Each of these items were far more useful than this book. My copy has already been put in the garbage... That's where it belongs.
Rating: - My views:
The content of the book are excellent and well elaborated, but unfortunatly I found after taking the real exam that the simulation test questions provided in the book has nothing to do with the real test questions which are based on real scenario questions rather than a straight forward input output questions.
I suggest to all to buy other books in the market.
