• Outdated as of September 2005
  I feel that it is important to mention that I have had little project management experience. I purchased the CD-ROM version of this book in preparation to take the CAPM exam given by PMI. The 2000 version of the PMBOK guide is obsolete as of September 2005. The PMI exams are now based on the Third edition of this guide.

  The "official" body of knowledge from PMI is shrinking, rather than growing. Older editions of the PMBOK include more substance and may be useful in preparing for your PMP certification exam.

• Good for the PMP exam until September 2005
  There is not much to say about the PMBOK's content. It was the de facto standard for project management from 2000 to 2004. The content is simply excellent.
  If you intend to take the PMP exam before September 2005, you simply must buy it. If you intend to take the test after that date, though, you should buy the 2004 version.
  This is book not for amateurs. If you have no experience whatsoever or knowledge of project management, this will not be an easy reading.
