PMP | CAPM Study Guide

PMI has a GPT you can query for any of these terms. Access it here if you’re a member: https://infinity.pmi.org/chat

Let’s query the GPT with the following query: “What is the Activity on Arrow / Arrow Diagramming Method? Please provide links to graphical examples.”

Click on Project Management – Help me learn the basics of project management.

Here’s the output from the query above:

If you want to build flash cards for these PMP / CAPM certification study terms, you could easily do it with PMI Infinity and this InfiniteKB glossary of terms. Anki is another really good choice for building your flashcard deck. https://apps.ankiweb.net/

You can also prompt ChatGPT for five multiple choice questions you’re likely to see on the PMP exam and ask that ChatGPT output the correct answer at the bottom.

Prompt: I am studying for the PMP exam. Write a brief glossary definition of the 100% Rule and five questions and multiple choice answers I’m likely to see on the exam. Place the correct answer at the bottom after each multiple-choice question.
