Before you start

You should understand basic project management ideas such as scope, schedule and stakeholders. You do not need advanced maths or statistics. PMI sets its own education and experience rules for the exam, so check them on pmi.org before you apply. Plan your study around the domains, and use the 100 test questions to find gaps. Keep a simple risk register from a real or sample project as you go, as this helps the ideas stick.

About the PMI-RMP exam

The PMI-RMP is issued by the Project Management Institute. It shows that you can spot project risks early, assess them and plan how to respond, so projects are more likely to succeed. PMI’s current exam outline covers five domains: Risk Strategy and Planning, Risk Identification, Risk Analysis, Risk Response, and Monitor and Close Risks. PMI updates the outline from time to time, so check the latest version on pmi.org as you plan your study. PMI aims it at project managers, risk managers, functional managers and senior leaders who own risk decisions. This course was built on an earlier outline, so compare its modules with PMI’s current outline and fill any gaps.
