Podcast: Introduction to the PMBOK 2+3

Sebastian Stücker, the host of the most popular german speaking podcast for the topic project management, launched 2 new episodes on the PMBOK:

Episode 5 – PMBOK Guide Grundlagen Teil 2: Projektlebenszyklen, Stakeholder und Organisationsformen

Episode 6 – PMBOK Guide – Ein Überblick über die Prozessgruppen

I recommend listening to these two episodes (whether directly on the website or download it to your iPod via iTunes).

A nice and comprehensive introduction to the PMBOK.

PS: Including a small surprise in episode 5
