The Ups and Downs of Strategies for Earning PMP PDUs
Many of us PMPs struggle with just how to earn our required 60 PMP PDUs (Professional Development Units) every 3 years.

I will not repeat the strategies for personal PDU management as listed in prior articles by me - see Earning PDUs and Maintaining PMP PgMP Status Is Easy and 6 Things to Consider in Your PDU Planning - and others, but I will talk a bit about aligning your current career strategy with your PMP PDU strategy.

Ask Cornelius
Question:
 
Hello,

I'm a PM Podcast subscriber (from Mexico) and recently listened to the episode no. 356. In this case, the PDU Tip says that after I listen to the interview I can also READ the article on which the interview is based and claim 0.5 PDU. After I listened to some episodes I have reported the PDUs through the CCRS without a problem. However, in this case, I don't know how to report both the episode no. 356 and the article to claim a total of 0.5 PDU.

Thank you in advance for your help,
Patricio Medina
