Professional Development Units (PDU's)

What are PDU's?

Professional Development Units (PDUs) are one-hour blocks of time that you spend learning, teaching others, or volunteering. By accumulating and tracking these over a three-year period you can maintain your certification status with PMI. PDUs are aligned with the PMI Talent Triangle® to assist you in developing the additional skills you need to meet the evolving demands on your profession.

How to submit PDU's?

What is the PMI Triangle?

The ideal skill set - the TALENT TRIANGLE - is a combination of technical, leadership, and strategic and business management expertise.

To help project professionals navigate this changing world of work and embrace smarter ways of working, we’ve updated the sides of the PMI Talent Triangle to now focus on: Ways of Working (formerly Technical Project Management), Power Skills (formerly Leadership), and Business Acumen (formerly Strategic and Business Management).
