“Professional Development Unit (PDU) Reporting Policy Update”

Presented by: Mike Berendt, PMI PMP, RMPVP, Programs, PMI Baltimore

9 August 2011


CCR Program EnhancementsThe Continuing Certification Requirements

Program ensures that Project Management Professionals (PMPs) remain current in their field

PMI study of 2007 identified two key areas for enhancement1st priority was PMI’s in-house reporting system

(CCRS) which launched in 20092nd priority was to improve and simplify the PDU

Category Structure for ease of reporting


PDU Reporting Study PMI volunteers created a simplified PDU Category

Structure for review and comment

PMI GOC did a formal study including PMI credential holders, Registered Education Providers (R.E.P.s), and Community Leaders. The new structure was positively received.

PMI Leadership began roll-out of the new PDU Category Structure in December 2010 with Implementation date scheduled for 1 March 2011.

Three year renewal cycle, 60 PDU requirement, and fee structure for re-certification remain the same; can still “Report a Component 1 to 2 PDU event” as before


PDU Category Update – Key Changes Number of PDU categories reduced from 18 to 6

All categories use the rule that “One hour of learning activity = one PDU”

Categories expanded to include Web 2.0 Learning Opportunities

Added limits on certain categories to require all credential holders to pursue continuing education in project management as part of maintaining the credential – PM work experience, volunteer service, and teaching PM topics are not sufficient to retain the credential


PDU Category Update – Key Changes Two primary PDU divisions, each with 3 categories:

Education – No maximum (15 PDU Minimum for PMP Cert)

Giving Back to the Profession – 45 PDU Maximum

Only Category F, Work as a Professional in Project Management, earns a set number of PDUs (5 for PMP) annually. All other categories are based on actual hours expended.

NOTE: There is a limit on Giving Back to the Profession since most PMI volunteer positions require a significant commitment of time and most volunteers would easily meet the total requirements by submitting in Category E. The same is true for PM instructors in Category D.


Implementation Guidance Effective date for New PDU Reporting Categories and

Rules is 1 March 2011

PDUs earned and reported up until 1 March 2011 will be calculated under the current CCR categories

PDUs earned prior to 1 March 2011 but not reported until after that date will fall under the new rules

PMPs should report all work related and volunteer activities under the Giving Back to the Profession PDU categories prior to 1 March 2011 to ensure they are not discarded because they exceed the 45 PDU cap for this division


New PDU Category Structure

Distribute, Review, and Discuss the PMI document entitled New PDU Category Structure and Policies .
