People Questions on PMP Exam - How to Find Them and Answer Them

In this episode, I'm going deep into one of the most misunderstood areas of the PMP exam: People. (If you need any help in preparing for the PMP exam or want to join my Invite Only PMP Cohorts - Reach out to me 757-759-5282 [e-mail])

If you keep adding more process to people problems, you're going to keep missing questions — not because your answers are technically wrong, but because they're the wrong first move.

I break down:

• What a people-dominant situation actually looks like on the PMP

• How to spot human risk quickly in exam questions

• Why PMI usually rewards alignment before control

• The most common traps candidates fall into (escalating too early, adding process, enforcing plans)

• A simple "first-move ladder" you can use when people are the dominant force

This episode isn't about memorizing tools or exam tricks.
It's about learning how PMI tests judgment — especially when behavior, trust, communication, and alignment are the real issues.

I also give you a practical drill you can use immediately to start seeing PMP questions differently.

This is part of an ongoing series breaking down People, Process, and Business Environment as forces competing inside PMP questions, so you can stop guessing and start diagnosing situations the way PMI expects.
