PM Illustrated - January Newsletter

Welcome to the January newsletter for PM Illustrated, the site that allows people to learn project management visually.

For January, the following upgrades have been applied to the site:

Membership Levels

To help cover operating costs, three paid membership levels have been added to the site, in addition to the free option.

See the Membership Levels page for full details.

Paid memberships also provide access to two new user-requested features added this month.

Online Flashcards

Test your knowledge and target weak areas using the online flashcards. Complete with the option to "star" topics to return to, the flashcards are an effective way to confirm understanding and identify any gaps you may have.

Accessed using the menu Study Aids / Flashcard Games.

Simulated Exam Quizzes

These are timed quizzes that feature questions at random from the entire curriculum of exam topics. You can choose 10, 25 or 50 question options, and they are timed to simulate how long per question you get in the real PMP® exam. These are powerful tools for boosting your confidence and preparing you for the exam.

Available from the menu Study Aids / Timed Quizzes.

Coming Soon

The follow features are currently being worked on for addition soon.

More Games

New types of games to test your comprehension and recall.

LinkedIn Private Group

Posts and discussions about study techniques, exam preparation tips, career advice, project management trends, and more.

Additional Quiz Questions

Adding to the database of topic review quiz questions. This keeps the site fresh and reduces the likelihood of people becoming ‘testwise’.
