About this book

Prepare to pass the 2026 PMP exam and lead projects with confidence

Now in its 11th Edition, PMP Project Management Professional Exam Study Guide: 2026 Exam Update is a focused resource aligned to the current PMP Examination Content Outline and the PMBOK Guide, 8th Edition. Written by Kristian Bainey, this guide prepares candidates to pass the PMP exam on the first attempt while developing the judgment, stakeholder awareness, and adaptive thinking that effective project managers rely on daily.

This edition covers all three PMP exam domains—People, Process, and Business Environment—with scenario-based questions that train prioritization and decision-making under pressure. Review sections, real-world scenarios, and practice exams reinforce both exam readiness and practical project management skills. Updated throughout to reflect the 2026 exam objectives, aspiring and practicing project managers will also find:

  • Coverage organized across the People, Process, and Business Environment domains defined in the 2026 PMP Examination Content Outline
  • Scenario-driven exercises that build the adaptive thinking and stakeholder management skills required in professional project management roles
  • Complimentary access to the Sybex online learning environment, complete with an online test bank, practice tests, electronic flashcards, and a searchable glossary

Designed for professionals preparing to earn their PMP credential, this study guide also supports CAPM exam candidates. Whether you are validating years of project management experience or building toward your first certification, this 11th Edition delivers the structured preparation needed to pass confidently and perform effectively on the job.
