Here\u2019s an overview of what\u2019s covered in the PMA certification boot camp:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/f.hubspotusercontent40.net\/hubfs\/3294842\/PMP%20Update%201.png\" alt=\"PMP Update 1\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Studying for the PMP Exam?<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-horizontal is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-1 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button has-custom-width wp-block-button__width-100 is-style-fill\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-text-color has-background\" href=\"https:\/\/projectmanagementacademy.net\/free-pmp-questions\" style=\"border-radius:2px;background-color:#366194\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">PMP Practice Questions<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:8px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"new-topics-2021\">New Topics Covered on the 2021 PMP\u00ae Exam<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure that your PMP exam prep class has targeted lessons designed to help you to understand the major areas of change with the new 2021 PMP exam. Here are a few of the newer topics that will be covered on the new 2021 PMP exam:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/f.hubspotusercontent40.net\/hubfs\/3294842\/PMP%20Update%202.png\" alt=\"PMP Update 2\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"focus-on-business-value\">Focus on Business Value via Agile Tools<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>No matter what type of Project Management methodology you practice, you should always be focused on the value the work deliverables bring, no matter what they may be. In the new PMP Exam Prep course, you will learn how to assess opportunities to deliver value incrementally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And unlike in previous exam prep courses, the 2021 edition teaches you how to deliver the most value first with:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Minimal Viable Product (MVP) \u2013 a portion of the project that has the most value is realized through this delivery of the project<\/li><li>Minimal Viable Increment (MVI) \u2013 this is an increment of delivery that allows a usable part of the project to be delivered<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Project managers must communicate, and that includes communicating the value of incremental delivery to all stakeholders. In the new PMP Exam Prep course, you gain understanding of how to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>help teams to understand the customer\/business<\/li><li>allow the customer to provide feedback<\/li><li>create a sense of urgency to deliver part of the solution<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"realize-effective-teams\">Realize Effective Teams Via Team Management Strategies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>All project success stories begin with a team. And in the new PMP Exam Prep course, the highly valued and critical skills around fostering a productive, effective, and high-performing team are fully addressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/f.hubspotusercontent40.net\/hubfs\/3294842\/PMP%20Update%203.png\" alt=\"PMP Update 3\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"background-color: transparent;\">In our global economy, it is important to be able to work with others who may be geographically distributed, and also diverse in their backgrounds, skill sets, and experiences. The new PMP Exam Prep course will help grow your understanding of the benefits of creating an inclusive team that celebrates diversity and the positive results that can bring.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/f.hubspotusercontent40.net\/hubfs\/3294842\/PMP%20Update%204.png\" alt=\"PMP Update 4\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Among other changes from past prep courses, in 2021 the leadership component of Project Management is more fully addressed. Project Managers leverage a complex set of skills to motivate, guide, and yes, lead others towards the business goals. No matter where you are in your Project Management career, you should know of leadership styles and when each is most appropriate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Autocratic Leadership \u2013 leader makes the decision<\/li><li>Democratic Leadership \u2013 team is included in decision making, but leader ultimately makes the decision<\/li><li>Laissez-faire Leadership \u2013 hands-off approach. Team makes decisions<\/li><li>Transformational Leadership \u2013 Inspire and motivate their team<\/li><li>Charismatic Leadership \u2013 Similar to transformational, but focus is on themselves<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"emotional-intelligence\">Foster High-Performing Teams Using Emotional Intelligence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Research indicates our success in work and life is about 80% emotional intelligence (EQ) and only about 20% cognitive intelligence (IQ). Emotional Intelligence is the ability, capacity, and skill to identify and assess emotions in order to manage self, other\u2019s, and groups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/f.hubspotusercontent40.net\/hubfs\/3294842\/PMP%20Update%205.png\" alt=\"PMP Update 5\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike previous PMP\u00ae Exams, in 2021 Project Managers will be expected to demonstrate their understanding of EQ, coaching and the connection to team performance. In this new exam content section, the Project Managers will learn about EQ and how to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>understand Emotional Intelligence for self and others<\/li><li>apply sound coaching, facilitator, mentor, and teacher skills<\/li><li>understand how to navigate tough conversations<\/li><li>know conflict management strategies<\/li><li>identify individual motivation<\/li><li>analyze personality indicators and adjust to the emotional needs of key project stakeholders<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Any Project Manager who has stakeholders, team members, clients, and\/or suppliers will benefit from an increased understanding of how emotions are different for each person and how to navigate that to reach project success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"pmp-exam-prep\">Why Everyone Benefits from PMP\u00ae Exam Prep Training<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With content including Evaluate Project Value using Agile Tools, Effective Team Management Strategies, and Emotional Intelligence among others, the new PMP Exam Prep training course is broadly applicable to Project Managers. The benefit is that the content applies to your current Project Manager work and ensures you stay current with your chosen profession. If you have obtaining the PMP certification in your 2021 career goals, get focused training and ensure your training provider is <a href=\"https:\/\/projectmanagementacademy.net\/resources\/blog\/why-choose-a-pmi-authorized-training-partner-atp-for-your-training\/\">PMI Authorized Trainer<\/a>; you want to ensure your financial investment and your time investment is protected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Project Managers of all experience levels should always be continuous learners who prioritize their development to ensure their professional relevance and value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:45px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<p style=\"font-size:25px\"><strong>Upcoming PMP Certification Training &#8211; Live &amp; Online Classes<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\"><table class=\"table table-striped table-bordered table-responsive-sm font-md mt-5 mb-0 d-none d-md-table\"><tr><td>Name<\/td><td>Date<\/td><td>Place<\/td><td><\/td><\/tr><\/table>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:45px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gaining marketable skills, earning a globally recognized certification, and learning from verified training providers, is the best way to invest your personal training budget.
