Individuals who do not have project experience but are interested in project management can also benefit from this certification by demonstrating their professional knowledge. This knowledge can be applied to on-the-job experiences that help develop competencies in the practice of project management.

The CAPM examination accurately reflects the practices of project team members. All the questions on the examination have been written and extensively reviewed by subject matter experts and can be found in a minimum of two references. These questions are mapped to the CAPMECO to ensure that an appropriate number of questions are in place for valid examination. These references are: PMBOK® Guide – Seventh Edition, Process Groups: A Practice Guide (2022), The PMI Guide to Business Analysis (2017), Business Analysis for Practitioners: APractice Guide (2015), Agile Practice Guide(2017) The Project Management Answer Book (Second Edition), and Effective Project Management: Traditional, Agile, Extreme, Hybrid(8thEdition).

Course Overview and Agenda
The following table identifies the proportion of questions from each domain that will appear on the examination.

Important note: The research conducted through the Job Task Analysis(JTA) validated that today’s project team members work in a variety of project environments and utilize different project approaches. Accordingly, the CAPM certification will be reflective of this and will incorporate approaches across the value-delivery spectrum. The examination will test the skills that entry-and associate-level individuals need in order to understand project management fundamentals as well as predictive, adaptive, and business analysis principles. These approaches will be found throughout the four domain areas listed above and are not isolated to any particular domain or task. The exact number of items for each question type and approach may vary by form. The scoring model is periodically reviewed by scoring experts to ensure valid assessment of knowledge and skills.
