Our Story
Built by three project managers who'd had enough of the PMBOK

How it started

The three of us met working project management jobs. Different companies, same headache. We'd all gone through the PMP, and we'd all hit the same wall: the PMBOK was endless, dense, and half of it didn't match how the exam actually asked things. You'd read a chapter, close the book, and remember almost nothing.

So we did what stubborn people do. We started making our own notes. Cutting the fluff, turning walls of text into pages you could actually see and remember, writing down the stuff the exam kept testing instead of everything.

Then people started asking for them

We passed. And when we shared those notes with colleagues and friends studying for the PMP, the reaction was always the same: "why isn't the official material like this?" Clearer. Faster. Easier to keep in your head.

That's when it stopped being a private folder and became something we actually built properly. Cleaned up, made visual, and organized section by section.

We've sat where you're sitting

If you're staring at the PMBOK right now thinking "do I really need to know all of this?", we thought the exact same thing. Studying after work, on weekends, wondering what actually matters and what's just noise.

You're not behind, and you're not the problem. You've just never had material built the way your brain actually holds things.

That's the whole point of what we made. Less to read. More you'll remember. A calmer way to get to exam day.

 

Updated for the July 2026 exam

Since we first put this together, the PMP exam changed. So we went back through everything and updated it: the new domain focus, the added weight on agile and hybrid, and the newer areas like AI and business environment. Everything here reflects the exam as it is now, not the version we sat.
