"Rita's vs. Andy's vs. Kim's" according to Aaron U. Bolin. I recently passed my PMP using Rita Mulcahy's, Andy Crowe's, and Kim Heldman's study guides. Using all three was a deliberate study strategy: I chose not to take an instructor-led prep course and study on my own.Rita's was very good, but it did include some extra Rita-isms that I found to be distracting.

Let me discuss both of these aspects.First, I will tell you that this is one of the most-read books in my household. Not only have I been studying for the exam for a long time, but I also use this book in my everyday work as a project manager. Why? Because the way it is written, it is almost like a guide to running your project. Each chapter proceeds in order of the activity as it would be pursued. It
