Amen! I have been studying for a year because I was terrified to sit for my PMP... Now, I believe I will be ready after watching him... When I get ready to sit, I will be investing in his pre-training prior to sitting. Excellente, Ricardo!!!
I just passed the 2021 exam. I was consistently scoring 40-60% on prepcast exam simulator quizzes. I watched this video once, and I jumped to 70-90% instantly. No I'm not kidding, and yes this video is that useful for people who visually learn.
I just passed the 2021 exam today, and this video was very helpful in tying all the processes together to have a holistic understanding. Thank you Ricardo!
Just chiming in with the rest of the crowd here to say how helpful these videos are and they deserve to be so widely recommended. Got certified today. 71m left to spare.
This guy is a legend! He completely untangled the mess in my head about these 49 processes. Why didn't the PMBOK Guide structure it like how Vargas did? This video is a must watch for any PMP aspirant. I would say watch this video first before doing anything else.
Yes totally agree with Kimberly Tholl...! You have clearly stated what I have to say. Ricardo is right on the ball about our thought about the PMBOK 6.0. Thank you so much Ricardo....Cheers
Totally agree. Am taking the classes from PMI directly and have 2 more guides to explain the PMBOK. Just more confusing. This man is a true teacher. Thank you for your comment. I guess I am not crazy after all!....
Waterfall isn't 'the water that falls but doesn't come back'. Everything can/will come back, even for projects using a waterfall methodology. Amen to this.
Wow. After the 1st 5mins I simply cant stop watching! and Im not even into project management. im just a programmer. Didn't know that project managers have these things on their mind. I thought they where hired just to do 1 thing.... to ask the question "hey is it done yet?" everyday
You are right. Project Manager will behave like “is it done?.. please follow up and get this done by today.”. All these are only to get PMP certifications but in reality no project manager knows anything.. they just want to promote the project to production as they agreed the go live dates...
@@syedjawahar8542 dude you have zero understanding of project management. What is explained in the video above is what a PjM breathes day in and day out. We ask is it done that's what is on the exterior. But the storm of pressures and milestones and deadlines and what not we go through the inside is a different ball game altogether. The flow what he mentioned is what a project manager goes through day in and day out and since folks like you do not understand project management (which precisely you proved it here), we ask one line - "hey is it done?" PS: It's just a clarification.
Well you're actually correct.. In the end that's what most managers actually do.. These courses teach you about how a gun is made, and in most projects, the gun is already there, they have people who need to know how to aim and shoot and how much to shoot etc
@@krishnamohan4036 There are few who are technical but mostly they don't go through that phase of development so they cant understand the pain of developer or the technicality so what Syed Jawahar is talking about are those who didn't even program a single line of code so if the technical person tell him in there language they cant understand.
Oh my sweet lord, thank you! I've probably wasted a hundred hours trying to understand the word salad of the PMBOK guide and PMI-provided educational resources, and this is the FIRST time I have come remotely close to understanding how these processes are supposed to actually be applied.
I was shocked at how well this guy could break down the complex idea into the smallest chunk. By using simple words to explain the complex concepts, I wonder how long did he study this material to get to this well organized. I was truly impressed. Ricardo, you deserved tons of millions of views for this video.
*Comment for Richard:* Thank you so much for consolidating all the information together. I just came from watching your commentary on the PMBOK 7th edition and found this video to be a good too. *Comment for the viewer:* Everyone! I recommend watching Vargas' 7th edition before/after watching this video to understand the latest restructuring of the PM body of knowledge! This will help you stay current!
Dear Ricardo. I am totally impressed with how you explain the PMP/PMI flow. I am a certified PM for PRINCE2, Hermes 5, SCRUM, ITIL, and an Executive MBA in Project Management and practise expert PM for over 2 decades. What I saw here was the best explanation I can ever recognize for PMI. What a wonderful hour of qualitative presenting. Keep going. This is a high Masterclass.
Hi Ricardo, I passed my PMP last week and I would like to thank you for your content that was really useful to me to understand the flow easily and help me pass the exam. THank you, Mohan
@@sermenozukhra160 That's a great idea! I am just going to cut out mine by phases and assemble a training book by including the relevant chapters that way its organized by phases and processes, etc..
I didn't even realize how quickly 1 hour passed as I was so focused while he was explaining. Thank you so much for sharing this knowledge. It's precious.
YOU ARE THE BEST!!!! I passed my PMP exam yesterday with 4 above targets and 1 target (closing). Closing is a lot more difficult than people think! I watched this video at least 10 times, re created the chart and added in some cheat notes (inputs and outputs) and studied it like crazy up to the exam. Morning of the test I woke up to watch this video one more time and it saved my ass! RICARDO YOU DESERVE SO MANY AWARDS and I wish I could hug you!!!! My advice to others, aside from this wonderful video, you NEED to buy the right exam simulator. I purchased one that came highly touted and it was crap. Thanks to redditors I learned of another simulator called prepcast and that is hands down what helped me pass. The exam questions were almost identical in format. This simulator also explains WHY options are wrong and not only why it is right. Do not underestimate this exam!!! Know the processes in and out! You don't need to memorize the ITTOS but it helps to understand them. I got a lot of situational questions that required emotional intelligence. Good luck everyone! Thank you again!!!!!!
@@rvvargas Hello Sir, Do you think it will be beneficial if we read PMBOK in the same sequence how you have explained in this video (in terms of knowledge areas)? Will there be any issue in following this approach?
Mr. Vargas!!!!! Like a boss!!!! I just passed my CAPM exam and I KNOW that I scored above target in 12 of the 13 domains because I watched your video a couple times before taking the test. I will be watching this video about 30 times, minimum, before I sit for the PMP exam. Thank you so much for taking the time to make this!
I usually Struggle with Boring videos on Project Management for even 3 Mins. But somehow I stayed glued to this video till the end. Will Recommend this to all learners in my Network. Thanks RV.
i just finished my Project Management course in my Masters level from University of Calgary ..... i learned about 90% of the things which he has explained here but my problem was how to relate them .... most times i used to feel like many processes are the same .... but this guy just made everything so clear to me for free .... May Almighty bless you and your family .... you deserve Noble Prize .....
I wouldn't say that the 25+ hours I've spent so far learning about the PMBOK knowledge areas, process groups and processes were a waste of time, but they were definitely emotionally lackluster. In contrast, seeing everything tied together perfectly by Ricardo was an almost orgasmic experience. Thank you Ricardo, I'll definitely get your course when it's time to get the PMP with PMBOK V7.
This is best video ever , I have just appeared for an exam on 6th edition and have cleared all with above target. At a point when I was unable to understand the pmbok, I saw this video through a search and OHMG, the video was a gold..... I drew the chart by pausing and along with the intsructor, the visual impact was tremendous. Helped me remember the process chart and flow and did not need to learn ITTOs as this flow chart made them understandable and logical!! Loved each second of the video and amazing examples!! Thanks!!!
This video is fantastic and is a MUST WATCH for anybody studying for the PMP, regardless of how you are earning your 35 hours for your application. Worth noting regarding the downloads - the numbering scheme is consistent with the PMBOK for the "canvas" download, but not so much for the "process flow" download. Regardless, EXCELLENT explanation, and thank you for taking the time to do this.
This video helped me understand PMBOK and pass PMP in Dec 2020. I lost a count of listening to this video, A LOT. Thank you Ricardo for this generous support! Much appreciate, from Mongolia 🇲🇳
He's the master of clarity!! There are people naturally gifted with this talent and Ricardo is one of them. Thanks a lot for your availability to share your knowledge, much appreciated.
My heartfelt joy when I saw this content! cannot believe how underrated this video is-> let's all like and share to get the youtube algorithm going up! this guy deserves a lot of credit.
I love his cartoon voice and expression. watched this on TV at home and even my 4 years old can understand PMBOK because of him now. Thanks...amazing works.
After being a Process Engineer and an entrepreneur, I can confirm that NOTHING in real life is as structured as this diagram. I am so glad you always say "everything is fluid", because in reality, it is SO fluid. On the shop floor, you cannot think to yourself "ah, let me go look at what my PMBOK flowchart says, then maybe we can perform Qualitative Risk Analysis" LOL; if you do that, the employer will give you your PMBOK in your hand and walk you out the door hahah. I am glad that you always says "this is a GUIDE, not exact rules"
Man, this guy is a legend, Ricardo you must apply for the PMI board of director, I am going to vote for you. You are brilliant and you help me pass my exam with this video 3 years ago. I received an email to vote for PMI director and I searched for this video to see if you are the Brazilian guy who is asking for a vote. Unfortunately, I didn't see your name on the list but as you can see there are millions who watched your video and you need to be rewarded for your outstanding work. Hope to see your name on the list next time.
Michelle. I was board member and PMI Chairman in 2009. Now it is time to the new leadership lead PMI to the future :) But thanks for your kind words. Very much appreciated.
OMG!!!! THIS is how every instructor should start explaining Project Management!!! This is like the Geico commercial, instead of saving on car insurance, you just saved me STUDY TIME on the PMP exam!!!! This made it all come together so brilliantly! Bravo and thank you!!!!
With you Ricardo, i am super confident that i will pass the exam for my first attempt. I am going to stick on this each every single day and i will make my comment again after exam. WRITING THAT YOU ARE A LEGEND IS LIKE EATING PIZZA IN THE WEEKEND
Brilliant video. He actually makes sense out of the PMBOK word salad. And incredibly generous to share the flow charts on his site. Of all the time you'll spend prepping for the CAPM exam, this might be the most useful hour.
I started studying for my CAPM two weeks ago and found the PMBOK very overwhelming. I got stressed and that made me procrastinate my daily study sessions. Gradually, stress has made me lose concentration of the material and I started doubting my capabilities. I was super lost. This video has so much clarity and order in how projects actually happen that it has given me the boost of motivation and inspiration to pursue my dream of passing the exam by the end of this year and celebrate my victory! Thank you, Ricardo!
I read a ton of stupid prep books, including Rita's book, wasted 6 months trying to understand all the concepts, and then a few days before the exam I come across this guy. Seriously?! :) God bless you Ricardo, whoever you are, you are the man.
Thank you for this. I passed on my first attempt today, I could literally visualize this and recall a lot of this information during my exam. Much appreciated!
Hi Richardo，I failed the exam on Sunday，was about to give up because I was completely lost and also found the material not useful nor interesting. Your video put everything into a proper framework and helped me connect the dots. I have now learnt to appreciate what is project management and how to use it in real life. Tried the exam 3 days later and passed. Can’t thank you enough. Wish you and your family all the best in life 🥰
I purchased PMbok 6th , saw hoo more than 700 pages to read and learn but this video provided a concept of 700 pages in few minutes video. Thanks Ricardo 👍
I have no words to appreciate this guy but I can only say, God bless him. The words like great or excellent will not explain my appreciation, it's beyond these words. Simply God bless him.
Thanks a TONNNN... Vargas !! Passed my PMP today with ABOVE TARGET in all process groups. Only i can understand that how important is your video in my success.
This video helped me tremendously. Finally, someone put the activities in a logical sequence that makes sense!!!! I wasn't really able to visual it until I watched this. I created an outline of the steps Richardo lays out with the ITTOs for each activity. Yes, it look a long time, but having that document as an overview and study aid really helped me pass my test. Thank you Ricardo - you are the BEST!!!!!
I agree with M.A., Ricardo deserve a Noble Prize. Usually I don’t wait too long to prepare for any exam and even for this, I only had 10 hours to prepare. I was upset until I saw this video, Thought wouldn’t make it this time. But man I did it, thanks. You explained PMBOK better than PMBOK itself.
Oh my goodness! THIS IS GENIUS!!! That’s a huge legacy for the community. We are so grateful to have a contribution like this Ricardo Vargas, please keep it up. Thank you for delivering this to mankind with such virtuosity ! May God bless you and yours always!
Wow Ricardo, this video is by far the best summary of PMBOK 6 I have seen so far... the way you visualize, summarize and connect the concepts is amazing and extremely helpful. Thank you for putting this together, including the process flow download
How can i Ever thank you, OMG your Articulation and Explanation is out of this World. Your put the Complete Engine Of Project Management Together Piece by Piece instead as many people tell you just memorize content without understanding. MR Ricardo I am forever greatfull
Every second spent on this video Worth's a million. Preparing a presentation on PM and gone through 50+ videos online this video simply helped solve the PM puzzle.
You have literally saved me weeks off of my PMP study time. I sat through a boot camp and knew I needed to map out the process groups to understand relationships (I am a visual learner). Thank you!!!
Wow I’m talking the CAPM tomorrow and in all my time studying I’ve never understood these processes more than i do after watching this video. THANK YOU
this man is the absolute truth! passed the capm yesterday after watching this video about 3 hours beforehand. this video really simplified everything and put me at ease just before crushing the exam. got above average in most categories.
THANK YOU!!! The fact that you were able to CLEARLY explain all of that in less than 55 mins was amazing! Saved me from watching a 4 hour video from someone else. :D
This is AWESOME!!! Thank you Ricardo!!! I have taken a 35 hour course. I bought the guide. And I kept thinking this can't be linear. I don't work the way this is laid out. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!! Truly wish I had found you first!
I only came to watch a few minutes of the video to save it for future references and end up watching the whole thing. This is a really engaging video and I’m impressed in how he summarize the whole book in a chart. This make everything simple. I’m still going to read the book as he suggested, but I recommend people to watch this before reading the book. It give a strong foundation.
You gave me the edge brother... I did my hours through PMIdeads and they were awesome... you added what I needed... Thank you all. Just passed my exam today!!!
This is brilliant. A definite must for anyone obtaining their PMP. I give this guy bonus points for tasting the Rainbow aka planning skittle management. Well done, sir.
This is indeed a great job by Ricardo. I was immediately able to learn all the 49 processes and able set up the same after going through his step by step demystification. You are my Hero !!!!!
I can't thank you enough for this excellent tutorial and the practice files. You're the only one who managed to demonstrate how the knowledge area and process groups integrate together to form the PMP. Hats off.
What a passionate guy, I can see how much he cares about all this. I watched without a blink. I was always scared about reading PMBOK, but now it makes to approach it in logical way as Mr. Vargas explains.
I paid $895 to get a 4 week course taking me through what i need to pass. He basically just read slides to me! This guy right here is explaining it to me so it actually makes sense! Application and logic of the PMBOK guide is more important that memorising all the slides/pages etc. I wasted my money!
Give this guy a Nobel Peace Prize for saving so many people's potential careers. How can I like this twice?
absolutely agree with Maria....Maria I will help you with liking this video.
And I love his accent. His honesty is on another level.
Great. Business case and PID. What’s the view on when this is done. Maybe prior to all of this some say ?
Amen! I have been studying for a year because I was terrified to sit for my PMP... Now, I believe I will be ready after watching him... When I get ready to sit, I will be investing in his pre-training prior to sitting. Excellente, Ricardo!!!
I just got my PMP certification, and this was the last video I watched before the exam. Thanks!!!
I was sooo prepared to pay for this download. And he gives it for FREE? This guy is not just a genius, but a saint!
Where is the downloadable file?
Elect this man to the PMI Board of Directors!
I was a board member from 2007 to 2009 and Chairman in 2009 :)

Lovely, congratulations 🎊.
So basically PMBOK 7th edition is mirroring Ricardo Vargas's work. Tells how he really broke the book down. Great Work Ricardo!!!

Hi Richardo，I failed the exam on Sunday，was about to give up because I was completely lost and also found the material not useful nor interesting. Your video put everything into a proper framework and helped me connect the dots. I have now learnt to appreciate what is project management and how to use it in real life. Tried the exam 3 days later and passed. Can’t thank you enough. Wish you and your family all the best in life 🥰
You made my day! Thanks for this kind note. It is really important to me. Congratulations and I am sure you are starting 2021 with the right foot! :)
Wow, I'm only 25 minutes in and already have a better grasp than I had in my 3-day crash course. Fantastic work, Ricardo
I passed my PMP with 2AT and Thank you for sharing this video which really helped me in my concepts.
today I passed PMP and this material helped me a lot to understand the processes, thank you
I purchased PMbok 6th , saw hoo more than 700 pages to read and learn but this video provided a concept of 700 pages in few minutes video. Thanks Ricardo 👍
I am speechless. PMI needs this guy to explain the PMBOK to everyone to make it less freakin' confusing.
I have no words to appreciate this guy but I can only say, God bless him. The words like great or excellent will not explain my appreciation, it's beyond these words. Simply God bless him.
Thanks a TONNNN... Vargas !!
Passed my PMP today with ABOVE TARGET in all process groups. Only i can understand that how important is your video in my success.
This video helped me tremendously. Finally, someone put the activities in a logical sequence that makes sense!!!! I wasn't really able to visual it until I watched this. I created an outline of the steps Richardo lays out with the ITTOs for each activity. Yes, it look a long time, but having that document as an overview and study aid really helped me pass my test. Thank you Ricardo - you are the BEST!!!!!
I LOOOOOOVVVVEEE this guy's enthusiasm! I would usually never stay interested through a 1-hour UA-cam video, but this guy is awesome!
Thanks! Passion for what you do is at the center for me. Take care!
Every time I watch this, I fell in love with Ricardo.. I wish all teachers become like him...
I agree with M.A., Ricardo deserve a Noble Prize. Usually I don’t wait too long to prepare for any exam and even for this, I only had 10 hours to prepare. I was upset until I saw this video, Thought wouldn’t make it this time. But man I did it, thanks. You explained PMBOK better than PMBOK itself.
Finally someone who explains this in a way that makes sense. Thank you so much for sharing and making it accessible for free!
I like Ricardo’s passion for sharing his deep understanding of PMBOK processes. Thank you
Oh my goodness! THIS IS GENIUS!!! That’s a huge legacy for the community. We are so grateful to have a contribution like this Ricardo Vargas, please keep it up. Thank you for delivering this to mankind with such virtuosity ! May God bless you and yours always!
Ricardo... I must thank you. I was able to pass the CAPM exam. Thank you!
Thank you Ricardo! Passed my PMP today with Above Target for all Domains. ❤ I'm a visual learner, this is really helpful!
He got me at the project charter is the birth certificate. Absolutely excellent narrative on PM. Definitely subscribed
Why on earth anyone help others life so much so that they never forget in their life. God bless you. Iloveit xoxox
Wow Ricardo, this video is by far the best summary of PMBOK 6 I have seen so far... the way you visualize, summarize and connect the concepts is amazing and extremely helpful. Thank you for putting this together, including the process flow download
This is the most comprehensive, lucid, and spot on video to understand the PMBOK 6th edition. Impressive job!!
I've only watched 3 minutes and already am entirely convinced that this video is pure gold. My hat's off to you mr Vargas.
How can i Ever thank you, OMG your Articulation and Explanation is out of this World. Your put the Complete Engine Of Project Management Together Piece by Piece instead as many people tell you just memorize content without understanding. MR Ricardo I am forever greatfull
Every second spent on this video Worth's a million. Preparing a presentation on PM and gone through 50+ videos online this video simply helped solve the PM puzzle.
You have literally saved me weeks off of my PMP study time. I sat through a boot camp and knew I needed to map out the process groups to understand relationships (I am a visual learner). Thank you!!!
The words Thank You do not feel enough. I passed my exam recently and watching this video really help a lot.
Thanks, Ricardo Vargas. Such a genius for making the messy PMBOK content become very logical.
Wow I’m talking the CAPM tomorrow and in all my time studying I’ve never understood these processes more than i do after watching this video. THANK YOU
Update: passed above target. The visual of this table was sooo helpful while taking the test 💃🏻
this man is the absolute truth! passed the capm yesterday after watching this video about 3 hours beforehand. this video really simplified everything and put me at ease just before crushing the exam. got above average in most categories.
One year of studying, two weeks before my test I watch this and wow just wow
We are in the same boat.
Sir Ricardo Vargas is the best teacher of PM I ever meet. CONGRATS!!!!
THANK YOU!!! The fact that you were able to CLEARLY explain all of that in less than 55 mins was amazing! Saved me from watching a 4 hour video from someone else. :D
This is AWESOME!!! Thank you Ricardo!!! I have taken a 35 hour course. I bought the guide. And I kept thinking this can't be linear. I don't work the way this is laid out. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!! Truly wish I had found you first!
Best explanation of the 49 processes by far! Thank you!
I only came to watch a few minutes of the video to save it for future references and end up watching the whole thing. This is a really engaging video and I’m impressed in how he summarize the whole book in a chart. This make everything simple. I’m still going to read the book as he suggested, but I recommend people to watch this before reading the book. It give a strong foundation.
I rarely comment on videos but this is way too useful to not give massive kudos! Exam in 2 weeks and this is saving my life!
This is the first time in youtube I got full attention of something. Really well done well explained. Hope you have 7th version explained too
Thanks super!! Yes I do, you can check it in my channel 😊
You gave me the edge brother... I did my hours through PMIdeads and they were awesome... you added what I needed... Thank you all. Just passed my exam today!!!
Thanks Ricardo! For explaining PM processes and it’s content in such a simple way. Highly recommend for folks preparing for CAPM and PMP.
This is brilliant. A definite must for anyone obtaining their PMP. I give this guy bonus points for tasting the Rainbow aka planning skittle management. Well done, sir.
After watching this video my mind says, one man makes more sense than a whole book!!
This is indeed a great job by Ricardo. I was immediately able to learn all the 49 processes and able set up the same after going through his step by step demystification. You are my Hero !!!!!
I can't thank you enough for this excellent tutorial and the practice files. You're the only one who managed to demonstrate how the knowledge area and process groups integrate together to form the PMP. Hats off.
What a passionate guy, I can see how much he cares about all this. I watched without a blink. I was always scared about reading PMBOK, but now it makes to approach it in logical way as Mr. Vargas explains.
Thank you for your service! Passed the CAPM Exam yesterday 🥳🙌🏾
Congratulations!
Hello, I'll be writing mine in 14days. Please how was the exam and what else did you use in preparing apart from this video?.
I have been in Project Management for almost 20 years and this is the best explanation of the whole process I have seen. Amazing job.
Thank you!
I paid $895 to get a 4 week course taking me through what i need to pass. He basically just read slides to me! This guy right here is explaining it to me so it actually makes sense! Application and logic of the PMBOK guide is more important that memorising all the slides/pages etc. I wasted my money!
