Question:
How do I claim my PDUs from PMI?
Answer:
The short answer is, that you have to go to http://ccrs.pmi.org where you log in to the website using your username & password and then you can click on the "Report PDU" link. While the reporting process is always the same (i.e. you have to fill in the online form) the information needed to report your PDUs is different for each PDU Category. So to make it easy for everyone we have recorded a video that shows you in detail how this works:

The Lazy Project Manager
Written by: Peter Taylor
The lazy project manager illustrates how anyone can apply the simple techniques of lazy project management in their own activities in order to work more effectively and consequently improve work-life balance.
This 'productive laziness' approach builds on the Pareto principle that states that for many phenomena, 80 per cent of consequences stem from 20 per cent of the causes. To put it simply, only 20 per cent of the things people do during their working days really matter.
Inside this book readers can discover:
- The intelligence of laziness - why smart, lazy people have the edge over others;
- Why the Jungle Book's 'Bare Necessities' should be the productive lazy theme tune;
- How to get the maximum output for a minimised input;
- Quick tips to productive lazy heaven.
