It gives me a lot of pleasure in announcing the public availability of the book for Portfolio Management Professional (PfMP®) examination preparation:
'I WANT TO BE A PfMP - The Plain and Simple Way to be A PfMP'.
The PfMP certification is the highest-level certification offered by Project Management Institute (PMI®). However, unlike program, or project management and associated certifications, portfolio management is completely different. In fact, the mindset and thinking for it is so different that if you go with a program, or project management mindset, you may not be able to clear the PfMP exam!

Every organization operates to create and sustain business value. To have value, an organization develops a strategic plan with strategic goals and objectives. However, an organization’s leadership can only achieve its strategic business objectives with portfolios.
Another aspect is organizational velocity, which is my term. Velocity of an organization is determined by the velocity of the portfolio component's completion. It is portfolio management, which ensures the inclusion of right portfolio components holding highest strategic value are undertaken from various business units. This in turn enables organizational velocity.
To make their organizations successful, C-suite executives or aspiring C-suite executives have to be deeply involved in the success of portfolio management. Because only portfolios drive the organization forward by accomplishing business objectives, providing maximum value within the organization's risk tolerance.
While teaching aspiring PfMPs and practicing multiple portfolio management software tools over years, I realized there is no book which covers portfolio management with real-world examples and hands-on software tools. In addition, not a single PfMP book covers various portfolio management standards from PMI, other needed publications (or books) and the Examination Content Outline (ECO for PfMP exam).
This book, I Want To Be A PfMP – the plain and simple way to be a PfMP, covers multiple standards, books and references. This book also contains a lot of tips, tricks, questions, and real-world examples with usages from multiple portfolio management software tools.
