Appendix D: Exam Objective Cross Walk

The PMP exam tests information in each of five domains: initiating, planning, executing, monitoring and controlling, and closing. To optimize your chances of doing well on the exam, remember the following information about how the exam is designed and how the exam objectives are tested.

• Each domain has associated tasks that assess a project manager's competence in that domain.

• Each domain has knowledge and skills that are required to competently perform the tasks in that domain.

• In addition to the knowledge and skills associated with each domain, there are cross-cutting knowledge and skills that are used in multiple domains and tasks.

• The information from PMI's Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct (the Code) is integrated into exam questions.
