  • Mastering The PMP: Demystify The Study Process

    Mastering The PMP: Demystify The Study Process
    2026/01/26
    In this episode of The Disgruntled PM, host Trevor Greenberg sits down with PMP trainer Gabor Stramb to deconstruct the upcoming transition to PMBOK 8 and the reality of project management certifications in 2026. Gabor offers a provocative look at the industry, arguing that Agile was strictly built for software efficiency and that hybrid project management remains a theoretical concept lacking a true best-practice blueprint. The discussion dives into the "harsh truth" regarding the job market's preference for the CAPM over the Google Project Management Certificate and highlights why real-world experience often conflicts with the "sterile environment" of the PMI exam. From debunking the myth of three-hour study sessions to sharing a "secret sauce" for passing the PMP in just eight weeks, this conversation serves as a cynical yet essential guide for any project manager looking to navigate the shifting landscape of professional standards.

    Organized Noise: An OD Expert’s Change Strategy
    2026/01/12
    Eddie Dunn joins Trevor Greenberg to strip the corporate jargon from systems design and organizational development. Eddie argues that the secret to ROI isn’t expensive software, but the "Simple Elegance" of a People, Process, Technology hierarchy that prioritizes human intelligence over automation. By applying the military rigor of Task, Condition, Standard to global projects, Eddie explains how to eliminate organizational noise and avoid the "Fragmentation" trap that stalls both business transformations and veteran transitions. This episode also serves as a guide to using Human Intelligence (HI) to navigate the "Neutral Zone" of change and build world-class infrastructure without using the status quo thinking that leads to implementation failure.
