Most PMP students try to answer questions by asking one simple thing:
"Which answer is right?"
But there's a different way to approach these questions that can make them much easier to solve.
In this episode, I introduce a thinking technique called inversion thinking, borrowed from legendary investor Charlie Munger, Warren Buffett's longtime partner at Berkshire Hathaway.
Instead of asking how something could go right, Munger would ask:
"How could this go wrong?"
What mistakes would destroy the value? What decisions would run the company into the rocks?
By studying the bad paths first, he was able to make much better decisions.
And that same idea works incredibly well for PMP exam questions.
In this episode, I'll show you how to use inversion thinking to identify what a bad project manager would do in a situation so you can quickly eliminate wrong answers and see the better path more clearly.
If PMP questions sometimes feel confusing or "mushy," this technique can help you create contrast and sharpen your judgment.
Give it a try on your next set of practice questions and see how it works for you.
If you want help with your PMP prep, feel free to reach out to me directly.
