BrainBOK is the best tool I've seen so far in my PMP Exam Preparation, being less than 48 hours away from taking the Exam I feel much more confident and ready to pass. Greetings from Guadalajara, Mexico

Joan - Congratulations. I'm very glad to hear that you passed the exam and also found brainBOK useful. I had tried to put myself in the shoes of PMPs and CAPMs aspirants while designing this tool, and it feels good to know that people are actually finding it useful. Thanks for your feedback.

I have just passed my CAPM exam and owe my ITTO knowledge to Brainbok. I discovered it a week before my exam and within a few days I finally 'got' the flow of inputs and outputs. Thank you for making it freely available - it was invaluable to me in my preparation!

Excellent tool. I like the minimalist approach and would much rather have substance over style. The comprehensive content is a great start - I should have flagged some questions like "assumption" where the answer is in the question.

Thanks for all of your hard work and sharing with the community.

Hello Victoria,

Priceless - that's all I can say about your comments. I'll surely look at your suggestions and see how I can make it a bit more lively. Currently I'm concentrating more on the content (exam questions and flashcards).

Thanks a lot.

2011-03-07T06:41:43.612+08:00

Well put together. I really love brainBok. The tool is intuitive, simple, comprehensive, and I like the fact that the tests are 1 hour, as this is practical for every day practice.

ITTO is very useful to help me remember the inputs, outputs, tools, and techniques. You used the "grill and drill" way of learning. Sometimes this is necessary process in remembering so much material w/o getting confused.

I also like the stark white look of the page, however I wonder what would happen if you add audio and color here and there? Might be interesting.

Thanks for sharing this wonderful piece of work. You are truly a PMP guru.

Hello Adhwin,

Thanks for your feedback.

Regarding the ITTO Explorer, you need to click on the "Load Data" button at the top of the page (just below the tabs) to load the data.

The Flashcards and Exam Simulator are still work in progress. I update them as and when I find time. There are about 500 flashcards as of now. I'm planning to upload another 150 more flashcards within a week or so.

You and others are most welcome to volunteer for developing flashcards and sample questions. You can do it by topics, process groups, knowledge areas, or even PMBOK Chapters. It will help you as well as hundreds of others in their preparation.

Let me know if you are interested.

Thanks.

Hi. I just happened to visit this site and the tool look very impressive. But I don't see many pages, In ITTO explorer it says No items to show, al the Flashcards are not showing all the process and knowledge area details.

Can you please verify and fix this asap.

Thanks Shankar :)

Hi Harwinder,

Nice effort , i have just completed 35 hrs PDU training was looking for more info for prepare my certification exam

2011-02-01T00:44:41.056+08:00

Hi Harwinder,
I was thinking along the same lines as well; making description "Context-Specific".
It would be easier to gather the contextual text from PMBOK but enormous high efforts implementing it.
As a starting point we can add general description as "Ticklers".
I have sent you my email information as well.

Amol

Hello Amol, Thank you for your wonderful comments...

2011-01-29T11:26:27.477+08:00

Hello Amol,

Thank you for your wonderful comments and feedback. That's a great suggestion.

Actually, I had started working on it, but stopped short. The feature is already available on the Process names, so why not have it on the ITTOs to make the tool more comprehensive?

The problem was that I wanted to make the description "context-specific". Let's consider the input "Organizational Process Assets" (OPAs) as an example. We all know what OPAs are, but not all OPAs are used in every process that has OPAs as an input.

Let's say a user selects a process in the process grid that has OPAs as one of the inputs. When the user hovers the mouse on the OPAs in the input grid, in the description I want to show the specific OPAs which are used in that process. I don't want to just give a general description of OPAs.

Are you thinking on the same lines?

Making the description context-specific will involve a considerable effort. That's why I haven't implemented it.

However, now that you have brought up the point, I'm thinking that having a general description is better than having no description at all.

I'm delighted to know that you are willing to help. I can use any help that I can get. Please send me a message with your email address from the "Contact" page. I'll send you an Excel sheet with the ITTO names. You can enter the descriptions in the Description column.

Thanks again for your feedback and help. Looking forward to your contribution.

Harwinder- Splendid job ...the diligence of you work is just unbelievably remarkable.
I had just one quick suggestion; if tooltips are added to all the inputs/tools and outputs.I think it would make tool super powerful for skimming too.
I would be delighted to contribute. I can send the short text for tooltips per ITTO.
Let me know.

2011-01-07T19:55:23.838+08:00

Babou,

That's really great work. The ideas are indeed very similar, just implemented differently. I think it's good to have access to both ITTO Explorer (brainBOK) and your excel file, because both have their advantages and limitations.

I do plan to make some additional enhancements to the ITTO Explorer. If you have suggestions for me, I'll be more than happy to hear.

Thanks.

Oops. I am really sorry for not pasted the pwd. It is "leadershipchamps" (without quotes).

You can open it as read-only. I used VBA to load the data so excel may ask you to enable macro.

Hello Babou,

Thanks for your comments. The excel file is password protected. Can you provide the password or share an unprotected version of the file?

Hi Harwinder, I checked this out & it is absolutely an EXCELLENT one! I don't know is this coincidental or not. I also conceived same idea & posted Excel version of what you presented. You can check that out in http://www.box.net/shared/1mpardsmss

I chose excel version as user can perform the activities offline & no need for them to be online always.

I am really happy that our ideas are matching so much.
