Hi All,

Let's collaborate on ITTOs and list MOST exceptional ones which helps us to remember (not memorize) ITTOs. Not all but where we can make exceptions with words ALL, ONLY, EXCEPT, SAME etc . Please add yours. (I know there is an article for PMBOK v4)

OTHER IMPORTANT POINTS

You MUST understand differences and relationships;

• Between Perform Quality Assurance and Control Quality
• Between Quality Audit and Inspection
• Between Procurement Performance Reviews and Inspection and Audits and Procurement Audits in Procurements KA
• Project Management Information System and Project Management Software and Information Management System and Organizational Process Assets and Project Files and Project Records and Enterprise Environmental Factors
• Remembering that can avoid some confusions: Risk Register is INPUT to all 'Estimate ...' processes and Estimation resulting processess those are Develop Schedule, Determine Budget. (Note that also others some processes)
