Selecting a PM Standard
The selection of a project management standard by a company is an important decision. It can influence processes, documentation, training and other operational areas over a long time. We will Focus PMBOK 5th Edition 2013

Application of standards enhances the chances of success over a wide variety of projects. But, all the processes may not apply uniformly to all projects. Hence, it is the RESPONSIBILITY of your organization and/or the project management team to determine what is appropriate for any given project. The project manager, along with project team, is always responsible for determining: 1. What processes are appropriate? 2. What is the appropriate degree of rigor for each process? THIS IS CALLED TAILORING!

The processes are managed as a system, by creating and understanding a network of the processes and their interactions PMI believes in Process Approach

Question
? Format
Exam questions are given in a multiple choice format, with four possible answers, marked A, B, C, and D, and only one of those four answers is correct. There is no penalty for guessing, so answer every question on the PMP exam, leaving none of them blank. Many of the PMP questions are quite short in format; however, the PMP Exam is famous (or infamous) for its long, twisting and scenario based questions.
