PMI CSPP Syllabus & Domain Map

This syllabus map converts the PMI CSPP curriculum into the public PMExams reading path. It is not a replacement for official PMI eligibility or purchasing information, but it is the coverage checklist for the guide.

Domains and lessons

• Foundations of Sustainable Project Work (17.8%): 5 lessons on objectives, triple-bottom-line thinking, frameworks, reporting logic, and resilience.
• PRiSM Life Cycle (17.8%): 4 lessons on PRiSM concepts, phase application, plans, risks, cost, time, schedule, and supporting processes.
• P5 Impact Analysis (35.6%): 11 lessons on P5 structure, impact mechanics, product and process lenses, people, planet, prosperity, materiality, and closure.
• Sustainability Management Plan (17.8%): 5 lessons on standards, systems thinking, thresholds, KPIs, and sustainable procurement.
• Reporting, Governance & Communications (11.0%): 3 lessons on communications, disclosures, materiality, reporting, and governance frameworks.

How to use the map

Read the higher-weighted areas with more repetition, but do not skip lower-weighted domains. Sustainability exams often integrate governance, reporting, stakeholder, and impact-analysis ideas across more than one domain.

Use the weights as a review signal, not as permission to ignore a domain. For example, P5 may be the largest single block, but reporting and governance questions can still depend on whether you understood P5 materiality, management-plan ownership, and PRiSM phase logic.
