PMP Review Notes (Chapter 2) – Project Integration Management Knowledge Areas
The Project Integration Management Knowledge Area
- Comprise of six processes
- Concerned with coordinating all aspects of the project plan and is highly interactive
- Involves identifying and defining the work of the project and combining, unifying and integrating the appropriate processes
- Also takes into account satisfactorily meeting the requirements of the customer and stakeholder and managing their expectations Read more
CISSP Exam Note (Telecommunications and Networking Security Domain) – LAN/WAN Devices, Types and Speeds of Leased Lines, etc.
LAN Devices
Repeaters (Layer 1) – amplify signal, no added intelligence, no filtering
Hubs (Layer 1) – used to connect multiple LAN devices, no added intelligence
Bridges (Layer 2)
- Amplifies signal and adds some intelligence
- Forwards the data to all network segments if the Media Access Control (MAC) or hardware address of the destination computer is not on the local network segment
- Automatically forwards all broadcast traffic
PMP Review Notes (Chapter 2) – Exploring the Project Management Knowledge Areas
Exploring the Project Management Knowledge Areas
- Each process group is made up of a collection of processes used throughout the project life cycle
- PMBOK Guide groups these processes into nine categories that it calls The Project Management Knowledge Areas Read more
CISSP Exam Note (Telecommunications and Networking Security Domain) – LAN Media Access Methods
LAN Media Access Methods
- Physical & Data Link Layers
- Controls the use of a network
Ethernet 802.3
- Uses CSMA/CD
- Designed for sporadic traffic
- Defines a bus topology with 3 different cabling standards:
- Thinnet (10Base2) – coax with segments up to 185 meters
- Thicknet (10Base5) – coax with segments up to 500 meters
- Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) – all devices connected to a hub or a switch
CISSP Exam Note (Telecommunications and Networking Security Domain) – 5 Common LAN Topologies
Topologies – defines the manner in which the network devices are organized to facilitate communication
Bus
- All transmissions travel full length of the cable and receive by all other stations
- Single point of failure n the cable
- If one of the links between any of the computers is broken, the network is down
- Primarily Ethernet
- These networks were originally designed to work with more sporadic traffic Read more
CISSP Exam Note (Telecommunications and Networking Security Domain) – Data Networking Technologies
LAN Cabling Types
Twisted Pair Cable
- Relatively slow speed
- Two insulated wires can be shielded (STP0 or unshielded (UTP)
- UTP is four-pair medium and comes in several categories
- UTP can be easily tapped by eavesdroppers than the other cable types
- Category based on how tightly wound the wires are, the tighter the wind the higher the rating and the higher the resistance to interference
- Cat 1 UTP – was used for telephone lines, not good for data
- Cat 2 UTP – up to 4 MBps
- Cat 3 UTP – Used for 10BaseT networks up to 10 MBps
- Cat 4 UTP – Used in Token Ring Networks up to 16 MBps
- Cat 5 – Current UTP standard for new installations up to 100MBps
- Cat 6 UTP – up to 155MBps
- Cat 7 UTP – up to 1 GBps

CISSP Exam Note (Telecommunications and Networking Security Domain) – Common Data Network Services
File Services – Share data files and subdirectories on the file server
Mail Services – Send and receive e-mail internally and externally
Print Services – Print documents to shared printers
Client/Server Services – Allocate computing resources among workstations Read more
PMP Review Notes (Chapter 1) – Understanding Project Life Cycles and Project Management Processes
Project Phases and Project Life Cycles
- Most projects are divided into phases, and all projects, large or small, have a similar project life cycle structure
- Project Phases
- Generally consist of segments of work that allow for easier management, planning and control of the work
- Project Life Cycle
- All the collective phases the project processes through in concert
- Similar for all projects regardless of their size and complexity
- Phases are typically sequential, and sometimes overlap each other
- Most projects at least the 4 following project life cycles:
- Beginning the project
- Planning and organizing the work of the project
- Performing the work of the project
- Closing out the project
CISSP Exam Note (Telecommunications and Networking Security Domain) – Data Networking Basics
Data Network Types:
- Local Area Network (LAN)
- Wide Area Network (WAN)
- Internet, Intranet and Extranet

PMP Review Notes (Chapter 1) – Matrix Organizations
Matrix Organizations
- Came about to minimize the difference between, and take advantage of, the strengths and weaknesses of functional and projectized organizations
- Employees in matrix organizations report to one functional manager and to at least one project manager
- It’s possible for one employee to report to multiple project managers if they are working on multiple projects at one time
- Functional managers assign employees to projects, while project managers assign the tasks associated with the projects
- Just as in a projectized organization, allow project managers ro focus on the project and project work
