Integration is one of the most critical Knowledge Area in PMBOK Guide, actually Integration is Project Management. Integration Knowledge Area is critical from exam standpoint as questions around project charter, project management plan, change, closing and status reports are covered in this section. Please be thorough with your PMBOK Read before you attempt the Integration exam today. 

 

Below are some tips for success:

Develop Project Charter (13-16 questions)- Review Business Documents, understand "Need" is established even before project is initiated, and all and everything about project charter from PMBOK Guide. 

Knowledge Management – Executing (4-5 Questions) -This process is new to PMBOK 6, so kindly pay close attention to this process. 

Monitor and Control Project work (questions around the change request process are critical).

Request for change or additional work after baselining of project management plan warrants a documented request followed by impact assessment.

Close Project Phase / Close Project – Closing (12 Questions)

Please read Closing from PMBOK - Pages 113 -116 and 633 and 634 (very Important)

This chapter brings a lot of value and bear in mind Integration takes place from beginning to end. So please think of Integration as an iterative phase.

The greatest competency of a Project Manager is their ability to Integrate.

Some tips while attempting questions on the Integration Exam:

1. Don’t overthink and use your gut, apply and rely on your knowledge.

2. Options that suggest certain actions MUST be taken are mostly the wrong options

3. Don’t choose an option that you have never heard or read. This strategy works really well as you tend to use your knowledge base.

4. Understand the extent of information provided in the question, the right option will be the next step.

 

Report your scores and attempt the exam when you are fresh as against when you are tired. Steer away from "Student Syndrome".
