What would the project manager do next? Most people when they are taking the PMP exam and preparing for it go about the PMP the wrong way. There is a flow that the project manager will go through in every situation they face. The only way to understand this is to take the PMP Exam Prep like you were ALREADY the PMP and get yourself a partner or studdy buddy. The best way to build your skills is to challenge yourself with a partner and see what you know and don't know.
