Let’s be honest—sometimes it’s all about the Professional Development Units (PDUs).
There are moments when Project Management Professionals (PMPs) are in the trenches of earning those PDUs and feel as though it’s a race against time to keep credentials from lapsing. Sure—there is value in continual learning and understanding the importance of maintaining the credibility of a global credential. But let’s face it: sometimes the process can feel like just checking boxes to meet standard requirements.
“On my most recent 3-year renewal journey,” said Benjamin Rebeske, CEO and Founder of Corbeau and Project Success Academy (PSA). “I thought I had everything under control—until PMI flagged that I was short on my PDU count. Cue the scramble to register for last-minute courses, extra fees, and a whole lot of frustration.”
“Why did this happen? Because I wasn’t proactively planning my learning around the three PDU categories required to maintain certification.”
Here’s the good news: you can avoid this chaos by aligning your professional development with the PMI Talent Triangle. Let’s explore how this framework can transform your approach to staying certified while advancing your career.
