10 Articles which every PMP Aspirant must Read

When I started this blog last year, the articles were focused on the PMP certification process like how to become a PMP, FAQs, audits etc. As time went on, I started focusing more on exam preparation, tips and study notes. The older posts got buried. For regular visitors, it’s not an issue as they know their way around the site well. But for new visitors, who are still finding their feet in the PMP universe, those older posts are more relevant. This article is an attempt to bring those stalwart posts of this blog back on top once again.
