Microsoft Project Tips
1. When printing Gantt Charts (or other time scaled charts) you can adjust the width of the timescale to fit the page without changing the timescale units. Double-click on the Timescale and increase the number in the % field (or Enlarge field in some versions of Project) to make the timescale take up more of the page or decrease the number in the % (or Enlarge) field to make the timescale narrower. The latter step is useful when a chart is just a little too wide to fit on a page.
2. If a task does not move (reschedule) based on a dependency, it may contain a "fixed" date of some kind. A fixed date could be an Actual Start or a constraint such as Must Start On or Start No Earlier Than. Use the Tasks with Fixed Dates Filter to view only those tasks in a plan that contain fixed dates. You can then determine if these tasks should have these types of fixed dates. After viewing select all the tasks and double click to open the multiple task information dialog box and from the advanced tab set the constraint type to As soon as possible to remove the constraint. |

ProVentures Testimony
I took my PMP training in June 2013. Then prepared for 1 month and appeared for my certification exam in July 2013! As far as my preparation for PMP was concerned, I dint refer your material except the Process Flow diagram given by ProVentures and PMBOK.
By attending the 4 day workshop I got the big picture of the Project Management concepts and processes. I feel that the workshop is a driving force and based on the content we covered on each day, I used to read the completed part after leaving the workshop.

Business Analysis – an important skill element for Professionals
|
Business analysis is a research discipline of identifying business needs and determining solutions to business problems. Soultions often include a systems development component, but may also consist of process improvement, organizational change or strategic planning and policy development. Business analysis as a discipline has a heavy overlap with requirements analysis sometimes also called requirements engineering, but focuses on identifying the changes to an organization that are required for it to achieve strategic goals. These changes include changes to strategies, structures, policies, processes, and information systems.Business analysis is the set of tasks and techniques used to work as a liaison among stakeholders in order to understand the structure, policies, and operations of an organization, and to recommend solutions that enable the organization to achieve its goals.
Business analysis involves understanding how organizations function to accomplish their purposes, and defining the capabilities an organization requires to provide products and services to external stakeholders.
