I've only skimmed the nearly 400 pages of the PMBOK Guide, and I'm not a PMI-certified PMP.1 If I decided to sit for the certification exam, I'm not entirely confident that I would pass. It's not that I disagree or find fault with anything therein -- I'm just not entirely convinced, based on my experience in the real world, that one can (or should) effectively "cookbook," or be certified, in the discipline of project management.
