8.2. Confidence Checklist and Resources

Confidence checklist — can you, without looking back:

• Classify a described scenario as a project, operations, a program, or a portfolio?
• Explain how predictive and adaptive approaches differ in planning and change handling?
• Distinguish risk, issue, assumption, and constraint?
• Explain how a PM's roles (initiator, negotiator, coach, facilitator) differ, and how leadership differs from management?
• Distinguish process owner, process manager, product manager, and product owner?
• Match a requirements-gathering technique to a scenario's specific constraint?
• Explain how BA work changes between predictive and adaptive approaches?
• Distinguish Scrum, Kanban, XP, and SAFe by their structural components?
• Explain why the critical path is a path, not a single activity?
• Calculate and interpret Schedule Variance and Cost Variance from PV, EV, and AC?

Resources:

• PMI CAPM Examination Content Outline (official)
• Your flashcard deck and practice question bank (delivered in upcoming sessions)

You've covered the full ECO at associate depth. The remaining work is reinforcement and practice, not new material.
