PMP Exam Radioshow (Project Management)

PMP Exam Radioshow (Project Management) is a coaching feed for the PMP exam, built on the idea that a candidate can make real progress by listening. The host speaks directly and warmly, greets the audience as fellow project managers and checks whether they are studying what they should. The format changes from episode to episode. One is a live session, where questions come in through a chat window and passages are read aloud from the PMBOK Guide 7th edition. Another is billed as 'PMP Exam Drive Time', audio the host says is usually made on long commutes. A third is a straight mock exam. 'Unlock PMP Confidence_ 50 Question Mock Test (Beginner 1 - 2 Weeks)' pitches its questions at beginner to intermediate level and splits them across people, process and business, then adds Kanban, Scrum and situational leadership. Every item follows the same pattern: scenario, options, answer, rationale. In one, a competitor launches a similar product first. In another, a new government regulation affects the deliverables. The host even sets targets, suggesting advanced candidates should score in the 90s and those a few weeks into studying around 70. Memory aids do a lot of the work. The ten knowledge areas, integration through stakeholder, come wrapped in a sentence about six chipmunks quietly roasting coffee and reading poetry stories, said twice for good measure. Precise definitions matter too: in the live session the host stresses that a performance domain is a group of related activities, not a group of processes. The delivery has humor, including a riff that casts candidates as the Israelites complaining about their food, with PMBOK 7 as the meal nobody wanted. Practical cases keep the theory grounded. 'How to Conquer the PMP Exam in 2026' works through initiating, and a business case with no benefits management plan becomes a lesson in outputs versus outcomes: the new software gets delivered, but everyone keeps using the old spreadsheets. The same episode explains who authorizes a project charter, and makes clear it is not the project manager. The exam calendar comes up again and again. PMI is introducing a new PMP exam from July 1, 2026, after a pilot test, and the host tells anyone who can test sooner to use their current materials and sit the exam in the realm of the known. Not every episode is strictly about the test. 'How to SET YOUR Goals for 2026 Using the John Maxwell PLAN AHEAD Method' covers quarterly macro goals, sharing plans with family and collaborators, and giving big changes time to be accepted. Several episodes close by pointing to pmradio.org, which the host describes as free, and to courses and mentoring for anyone who wants more.
