Make a Plan to Earn Your PDUs
|
As a Project Management Professional (PMP)® credential holder, you must earn 60 Professional Development Units (PDUs) every three years in order to maintain your
certification status in good standing. Not obtaining the required 60 PDUs within your certification cycle will lead to your credential being suspended.
So what do you do to make sure you do not find yourself struggling to earn PDUs late in your certification cycle? What can you do to make sure earning PDUs is as much in the forefront as other aspects of your life? Well, being a
project manager you have the necessary tools to approach earning PDUs as a project by making a plan.
Learn these steps in developing a plan to help make sure you earn those required 60 PDUs.

Question:
I am certified based on the PMBOK Guide 4th Edition and currently reading the 5th Edition to keep myself
updated. Can I claim PDUs for reading this book? If yes, then how many PDUs shall I claim?
Answer:
Yes, absolutely! You can claim PDUs for reading the latest PMBOK Guide to “upgrade” your knowledge to this new standard.
This activity falls under PDU Category C: Self-Directed Learning. Here, PMI writes that “Learning may include informal activities such as [...]
reading articles, books, or instructional manuals [...]”. So reading the PMBOK Guide and earning PDUs is officially sanctioned by PMI as a qualifying PDU activity.
