ABSTRACT

The Project Procurement Management questions on the PMP® certification exam tend to be more process oriented than legally focused. You do not need to know any country’s specific legal code; however, some non-U.S. exam takers complain that the nature of many of the questions requires an understanding of U.S. contract law. Although an occasional question relating to the U.S. system may appear on the exam, such questions do not seem to be problematic for most exam takers. A firm understanding of the procurement process usually will help you to find the correct answer. Moreover, the questions will be worded such that the project manager or project team is the “buyer.”
