Master the PMBOK® Guide Process Groups 
to Pass the PMP Certification

The PMBOK® Guide is the core guideline for managing projects. It consists of process groups that define how to complete a project successfully.
 

The five PMP process groups are Initiating, Planning, Executing, Monitoring & Controlling, and Closing. They are used to divide project life cycles into various stages, allowing for a better understanding of the tasks required at each step. 

Understanding these groups is essential when studying for the PMP exam as they form the basis of many of the questions in the PMP Exam Simulator or the PMP certification itself.
