Claiming PDUs by working as a Program Manager.

Published: Fri, 01/24/14

 
Ask Cornelius
Question:
If you are a PMP but working as a Program Manager, Can you still claim 5 PDUs per year under the PMP certification? Or would those only apply if you have the PgMP?

Answer: Yes you can! Category F states that you can claim your PDUs if you are working "as a project manager (project risk management professional, project scheduling professional or program manager)". So go ahead and claim them.

The Seven Formulas You Need for the PMI-ACP(r) Exam
While there are about 50 formulas that you need to know for Project Management Professional (PMP)(r) Exam success, there are only seven that are absolutely necessary to know for the PMI Agile Certified Practitioner (PMI-ACP)(r) Exam.

Even better, for the first three we are going to discuss you don't even need to know the formula. What you do need to know for them is how to handle the results of the calculations, which is: "The larger value is the better value".
