Hey all, When I first started exploring the PMBOK®️ Guide, I thought of it as a single book—a roadmap for projects. But it’s actually two books in one. One is the standard for project management, and the other is the guide itself. The standard lays out the foundation: 1️⃣ What a project is and its context 2️⃣ How organizations think about and structure projects 3️⃣ The principles that guide everything Understanding these principles is crucial. They are like the spine of everything I teach and apply. In my latest video, I explain how to navigate the PMBOK efficiently using shortcuts, folders, and export features. Watch the full explanation here: 🎥 English: https://youtu.be/TZMum9cuoJY 🎥 Portuguese: https://youtu.be/zuOtcz0QuBI Subtitles available in English, Portuguese, Spanish, Arabic, Chinese, and French. I hope this helps you make your project management work simpler, faster, and more value-driven! ❤️ Wishing you all a productive day, Ricardo #ProjectManagement #PMBOK8 #ValueDriven #ProjectLeadership #Efficiency #ProjectTools #ContinuousImprovement
