If you need help simplifying PMP concepts in a way that really makes sense, reach out and I’ll teach you and create a plan that works for you: 757-759-5282.

Three little words trip up more PMP students than almost anything else: Risk, Issue, Assumption. Get them confused on the exam, and you’ll wreck a question you could have nailed.

In this episode, Scott unpacks these concepts with clear definitions, fun analogies, and exam-focused insights so they finally stick. You’ll learn:

  • The simple difference between risks, issues, and assumptions (Clouds, Rain, Park)

  • Why positive risks (opportunities) matter as much as threats

  • How risks, issues, and assumptions flow into one another on real projects

  • The common exam traps PMI uses to confuse you — and how to avoid them

  • Real-life scenarios (including a funny Mickey Mouse napkin example) that make it unforgettable

📌 Key takeaway: Risks, issues, and assumptions aren’t the same. Each has its own log, timing, and process. Get them straight, and the exam questions suddenly become obvious.

👉 Want Scott to help you master confusing PMP concepts and build a plan that fits your life? Call or text 757-759-5282.
