These two phrases worth 40 ITTOs. (This worked for me and many)

Submitted by rajapavani on Tue, 06/21/2011 - 18:58

Dear Future PMPS –

 

Here is the Link to the Dump sheet. (Thank you admin for allowing me to share this document).

 

 

http://pmzilla.com/files/Dump_Sheet_For_PMzilla%20Raj%20Pavani.doc

 

 


NOTE: This approach is very much useful for those who are already planning to remember Page 43 of PMBOK. If you are NOT planning to remember Page 43 of PMBOK, please do not waste your time to understand my approach. Let me get to my approach without much waste of time.

As part of my PMP preparation, I realized that, one of challenging areas for me was to remember the common ITTOs. I didn’t have problem remembering distinct ITTOs which are very unique to its process.
Did you realize that following are very common ITTO?
 
C- Change Requests ,D-Project Documents Updates (Output),E –EEF (Input),O – OPA (Input) ,P – Project management plan updates , Ue – EEF Updates , Uo – OPA Updates ,X – Expert judgment 
 
Can you remember CDOPUo?
Ok, now take a look page 43 and write down ‘CDOPUO’ in Control Scope, Control Cost, Control Schedule, Quality Control. You will be surprised to know that, for all these process groups, CDOPUo   represents common inputs, tools and outputs.  .
Just remembering one phrase of CDOPUo, you mastered the common ITTos for 4 Knowledge areas.
How about CDEPOX?.
You place CDEPOX in Direct and Execution, Monitor and Control and Integrated Change Control. (As an exception, change request is Input for Integrated Change Control instead of Output).
Do you feel good now?. Just remembering two phrases, you remember as many as 40 ITTOS.
If you like this approach take a look at attached dump sheet in PM Prep cast website.
Good Luck and Best wishes.
Regards,
Raj,PMP

I quote below what you wrote:

"How about CDEPOX?.

You place CDEPOX in Direct and Execution, Monitor and Control and Integrated Change Control. (As an exception, change request is Input for Monitor and Controlling instead of Output)."

p: 61 and p: 73 of PMBOK 4th Edition do not confirm that 
... change request is Input for Monitor and Controlling instead of Output).

any thoughts?

or its that I am wrong...!

Hi PMPBoy - You caught me. That should have been 'Perform Integrated Change Control' instead of 'Monitor and Controlling'. Thanks!!. Please let me know if you think this is useful technique. I changed the original posting to refelct this change. Regards,Raj.

Hi Raj,

I was very much concern about the memorizing ITTOs for my PMP and for quite sometime I am silent member of this group. no doubt the ADMIN and other active members are helping PMP Aspirants.

Would you please send me the braindump on mqayyum72@gmail.com.

Thank you RAJ and PMZilla for great help.

Regards,

Qayyum

I am glad that my approach for remebering ITTOs is helping you. Everybody has their own way of memorizing things, if this approach match your style of memorizing things, I am sure you can memorize all ITTOs in matter of a week. I do not know how to attach the 'dump sheet' here, so I sent an email to you directly. If you know how to attach the sheet, please add the 'dump sheet' here in this website.


Good Luck.


Raj Pavani, PMP.
