"Everything Explained"
"Learn From Experts and Pass your Exam in First Attempt with Confidence"
The CAPM certification demonstrates your possession of essential knowledge and skills that project teams require. It validates your readiness to tackle diverse projects, utilizing approaches such as predictive project management, agile principles, and business analysis. Acquiring the CAPM credential provides you with everything necessary to initiate a career in project management.
As per the CAPM exam curriculum for 2023, the syllabus comprises three key concepts that warrant our attention:
Domain: This pertains to a fundamental area of knowledge crucial for effective project management practices. Each domain comprises specific "Tasks" that delineate the roles and responsibilities of project team members.
Tasks: These are the primary duties and responsibilities carried out by members of the project team within each domain.
Enablers: These are illustrative instances that showcase the activities associated with a task. It's important to note that enablers are not an exhaustive list; instead, they offer a few examples to highlight the scope of the task.
There are 4 new domains in the new CAPM syllabus 2023. The below table explains the new content outline for CAPM exam:
Domain Percentage
Project Management Fundamentals and Core Concepts 36%
Predictive, Plan-Based Methodologies 17%
Agile Frameworks/Methodologies 20%
Business Analysis Frameworks 27%
