Ask Cornelius

Question: If you work as a project or program manager for at least 1,500 hours per year, then you can earn 5 PDUs for each full calendar year. What if you worked less than 1,500 hours per year as project or program manager ?

Answer: PMI has since changed the PDU categories and the requirements a bit. But the general idea is still the same: If you work as a PM you will earn PDUs.

Earn PDUs for Writing Articles

The Project Post-Gazette is an independent newspaper, monthly at the current time, for the entire project management and business analysis disciplines. The publishing goal of the PPG is not to proffer a single perspective or point of view, but to provide content to PM & BA practitioners that is relevant, timely, and actionable.

We will publish articles by leading project managers and business analysts on topics that will be focused on the topics impacting our practice and environments. The current issue can be obtained via the below link that will download a full-color PDF version of the newspaper.

The PPG's website www.projectgazette.com contains all back issues in similar format. Your articles, comments and feedback to editors@projectgazette.com are welcome and appreciated."
