Health Warning: Do not attempt to read the PMBOK and drive!
Animal tests undertaken by Mosaic show that reading a single chapter of the PMBOK can induce a state ranging from drowsiness to deep sleep; with the effect on younger animals being significant.
Similar effects have been observed from exposure to PMP training materials in the office……
As a result of these and other ‘real world’ observations, we recommend any prolonged exposure to the PMBOK and any associated training materials be restricted to either the safety of your own home, or a carefully controlled classroom environment under the supervision of a qualified trainer.
Notes:
- No cats were injured during this study.
- We have designed our courses to minimise the effects identified in this study.
- For more on our classroom training see: http://www.mosaicproject.com.au/

- Apart from Note 2, this post is simply a gratuitous excuse to publish some really cute cat pictures sourced from: http://pulptastic.com/29-photos-cats-sleeping-weirdest-places-positions/ we hope you enjoy the other 26 pictures.

In the same spirit … do not write PMBOK except like this PMBOK® Guide otherwise you will face the PMI police 🙂
If I was referencing the PMBOK® Guide 5th Edition specifically, one would of course need to follow PMI guidelines and copyright provisions……
very nice warning 🙂
