PDU Of The Day …
Is Implementing A New Article Structure!

We want to help you earn your PDUs
Record them & minimize your risk!

We know how busy our viewers are
So we wanted to make it very easy to do!

A PDU Of The Day  article provides you with all the information you need to fill in your PMI® CCRS claim.

For each Education activity, PMI® requires:

• The Provider Name or ID
• The Title
• The Start Time and End Time

You may (optionally) provide:

• A Description (4000 character limit)
• A URL

WE STRONGLY SUGGEST THAT THE OPTIONAL INFORMATION BE RECORDED IN CASE OF A PMI® AUDIT OF YOUR CCRS CLAIM

Paid subscribers can Bookmark all their activities on PDU Of The Day!

HERE IS HOW WE CAN HELP!

A PDU Of The Day article has:

1. The Session Title for the article.
2. The Header of the pduOTD article:
   1. Lists the Start & End – Date and Time of  each activity/session
      • Times are listed as in North American Eastern Time (Standard or Daylight Savings) and other timezones as appropriate)
   2. Lists the Provider, often with a link to the Provider’s website
   3. Gives the Activity Type. Education opportunities are recorded as:
      • Course or Training
        • Training from a PMI® Registered Education Provider (REP). Each REP has a unique ID number.
        • Instructor-led classes held in-person or online by a third party provider.
      • Online or Digital Media
        • learning conducted online or through digital media
      • Informal Learning
        • Structured Professional Discussions
      • Read
        • Reading that is relevant to the certification
3. The Body of the article has:
   • A description of the opportunity
     • which you can copy and paste into the CCRS
   • The name of the instructor
     • With a Linked profile (when named be the provider)
       • This attests to the presenter as a knowledgeable resource
   • Lists the Registration URL
     • This can also be pasted into the CCRS
4. The Footer of the article:
   1. Lists the PDU credits in the 3  PMI® Talent Triangle skills:
      • Technical Project Management
        1. “Knowledge, skills and behaviors related to specific domains of Project, Program and Portfolio Management.”
      • Leadership
        • “Knowledge, skills and behaviors specific to leadership-oriented, cross-cutting activities that help an
          organization achieve its business goals.”
      • Strategic & Business  Management
        • “Knowledge of and expertise in the industry or organization that enhances performance and better delivers business outcomes”
   2. Reminds you to Print Out Our Post! (for your PMI® Audit Folder & include notes on the Start/End Time & notes taken during the webinar)

PDU CCRS AUDITS

A PMI® PDU Audit can be a stressful situation for a PMP®!

Make it less so by having the documentation ready and available should PMI® choose you for one of its random PDU Audits.

• A PMI® CCRS (Continuing Certification Requirements System) claim is used to record PDUs towards your PMP® recertification.

Some of the suggestions to reduce YOUR Risk in case of a CCRS audit:

1. DO NOT STOP AT 60 PDU’s!
   1. We recommend that PMI’s® perform and record at least:
      1. 72 PDU’s in a 3 year period or …
      2. 24 PDU’s every year or…
      3. 2 per month (Just Basic Project Management math 🙂 )
2. Make sure to have both an electronic & a paper copy of your PDU CCRS Audit Folder..
   1. It should contain “Full Documentation” of each activity you claimed
3. Keep track of the presenters and credentials to prove that they are a “Knowledgeable Resource”.
4. Keep track of the hours you spend practicing as a “Project Manager” & “Giving Back” to the community.
