Show Notes

This podcast is made by Ran Chen, who holds an EA license, Insurance and Securities licenses (Series 6, 63, 65), and the CFP® designation. He is passionate about opening access to high-quality exam preparation resources and helping learners prepare more effectively for professional certification exams. In this episode you will learn: - The PMP exam is split roughly 50/50 between predictive (Waterfall) and adaptive/hybrid (Agile) methodologies. - Predictive approaches are best for projects with stable, well-defined requirements and a low tolerance for change. - Adaptive approaches are designed for projects where requirements are uncertain, evolving, and require frequent stakeholder feedback. - Hybrid models blend predictive and adaptive methods to manage projects with both stable and uncertain components. - Correctly identifying the project's methodology in an exam question is the key to selecting the right next step or tool.
