Memorizing the PMBOK^® Guide Inputs, Tools and Techniques and Outputs (ITTO)’s is one of the biggest hurdles for PMP^® and CAPM^® aspirants. If you look around the web, you will find a gazillion spreadsheets and charts with titles such as “The Best Tools to Memorize ITTOs”, “ITTO Cheat Sheet”, “ITTO Guide”, “PMP ITTO Chart” etc., which are simply reproductions of the ITTO tables of the PMBOK^® Guide with some filters thrown around them. They are neither useful nor effective, and a waste of money and time. Read this post to learn how we can help.

We are pleased to announce the release of our new online PM Study Guide for PMP^® and CAPM^® Certifications based on the PMBOK^® Guide, 6th Ed. The guide is a concise and to-the-point study resource that complements our ITTO Explorer, Exam Simulator, Flashcards, and Quizzes to help you achieve the certification in the shortest time possible.

Do I Need to Memorize the PMBOK^® Guide Inputs, Tools and Techniques and Outputs (ITTO)’s? This is a question that every PMP^® and CAPM^® aspirant asks at some point or other during the course of the exam prep. Mastering the ITTOs is undoubtedly a key success factor for both PMP^® and CAPM^® certifications. But does it mean you need to resort to rote memorization? Read the post to find out.

We are glad to announce the release of a much requested feature - multi-select knowledge areas for the ITTO Quiz module. Previously, you could select only All Knowledge Areas or a specific (single) Knowledge Area on the Quiz. But now you can select one or more knowledge areas for all the 4 quiz types (Process, ITTO, Data Flow, and Glossary). This will allow you to progressively select additional Knowledge Areas as you progress from chapter to chapter on the PMBOK Guide or your favorite study guide. All Knowledge Areas would remain as the default and the recommended option.

BrainBOK PMP and CAPM Flashcards module now includes a detailed progress report to help you track your progress by individual topics and keep you focused on your goal to get certified. This feature had been due for a while and we are glad to make it available to our users today with the release of version 10.3. It is accessible to both Premium and Basic (free account) users.

We are pleased to announce the release of version 10.2 this week. This release includes a much needed enhancement to the ITTO Explorer. The ITTO Explorer now supports history tracking and deep linking.
