Mastering The PMP: Demystify The Study Process
In this episode of The Disgruntled PM, host Trevor Greenberg sits down with PMP trainer Gabor Stramb to deconstruct the upcoming transition to PMBOK 8 and the reality of project management certifications in 2026. Gabor offers a provocative look at the industry, arguing that Agile was strictly built for software efficiency and that hybrid project management remains a theoretical concept lacking a true best-practice blueprint. The discussion dives into the "harsh truth" regarding the job market's preference for the CAPM over the Google Project Management Certificate and highlights why real-world experience often conflicts with the "sterile environment" of the PMI exam. From debunking the myth of three-hour study sessions to sharing a "secret sauce" for passing the PMP in just eight weeks, this conversation serves as a cynical yet essential guide for any project manager looking to navigate the shifting landscape of professional standards.
