Question:
Does one have to be a PMI member in order to maintain their PMP? If not, how does one continue to report PDUs?Answer:
You do not have to be a PMI member in order to become PMP certified, and therefore you also do not have to be a PMI member to maintain your certification. But no matter whether you are a PMI member of not, the re-certification rules are the same: you must earn 60 PDUs every 3 years and in order to report them you log on to ccrs.pmi.org where you input them.

| 4 Steps to Turning Around a Troubled Project |
An interview with Todd C. Williams by Fortune Magazine:
If your project is over budget and behind schedule, do you scrap it and start over, or try to fix it? Here's how to decide, and what comes next.
1. Stop the blame game. "The finger-pointing stage is usually when I get called in," says Williams. "But with any failure, a lot of the responsibility really belongs with senior management, for not providing clear direction, or not monitoring the project closely enough, or both. Once we point that out, bosses are more willing to shift the discussion away from assigning blame and on to finding solutions" -- which leads to Step No. 2.
2. Focus on the facts. "Real data are your best friend right now," Williams says. "Dig deep into the details of exactly what went wrong at each stage, and why." Getting to the bottom of each failure point "is like peeling an onion. You need to work down to the center. Suppose, for instance, a critical component arrived late. Why? How can that be prevented in the future?"
