PMP / PMI-ACP Certification Study Notes – Professional and Social Responsibility


PMP Professional and Social Responsibility

Introduction: This section of my PMP Exam Study Notes is a summary of the Professional and Social Responsibility published by the Project Management Institute (PMI) that applies to all professional certification holders including PMP and PMI-ACP®. Students preparing for the PMP exam or the PMI-ACP® exam should understand and memorize these as the Professional and Social Responsibility would be tested during the exams.

    Hi Edward,

    I wanted to know how important it is to study/read Part 2 of the PMBOK Guide i.e. The standard for Project Management for PMP exam. Or the exam is mainly focused on Part 1 and the Agile Practice Guide?

    Regards,
    Snehal
