Do your projects always run flawlessly, or do you face unavoidable real-world issues that were never covered in your training? Do you fight to stay current in an ever-evolving and growing profession?

Quick Quizzes for Project Managers allows you to test your project management knowledge and expand your skills through story questions about interesting and mind-opening situations faced every day by project managers in the field. You choose what you think is the correct answer, and then check your choice.

Each answer is followed by a short, specific explanation that gives you background detail on the topic and a problem solving approach you could try in your own organization. Many of the questions come from working project managers around the world, concerned with issues they face in real projects.

This is a fun, quick approach to expand your practical project management knowledge. Each tip is educationally sound and consistent with the concepts and terminology found in the PMBOK® Guide, 4th Edition and other current PMI Standards.
