Click here to visit www.pm-podcast.com/pdu for all the details
Why does The PM Podcast qualify for PDUs?

The Continuing Certification Requiremnts (CCR) Handbook contains a section on "Ways to

Earn PDUs". One of the ways listed are the "Online or Digital Media" and PMI states that
"Many educational webinars, videos and other types of digital content are available online
and on demand". The PM Podcast falls into this category as long as the interviews are
"relevant to PMI Talent Triangle skill area topics, meet a specified purpose, and use
knowledgeable resources." Our podcast meets all three requirements.

You can claim a maximum of 60 PDUs for listening to The PM Podcast. (Yes SIXTY!)
Yes. A podcast has to be at leat 15 minutes long, so that you can claim 0.25 PDUs. PMI
explains this as folows: "Fractions of PDUs also may be reported in quarterly increments. This
means that if you spent 15 minutes participating in a qualifying PDU activity, you can report
0.25 PDUs. If you spend 30 minutes in a qualifying PDU activity, you can report 0.50 PDUs."

Should I claim PDUs for each episode

separately?
What about the Talent Triangle?

You have two options: (1) Claim Separately or (2) Claim Everything. Each option has it's pros
anc cons. Please visit www.pm-podcast.com/pdu for option details.
Each episode of The PM Podcast focuses on one specific topic, which means that each
episode can be attributed to one side of the triangle. Check the online Episode Spreadsheet
to see which episode goes where.

276 What Does Project Success Really Mean?

I will be able to use many of these approaches for all of these

"fire" projects that we have so often
These ideas make a lot of sense and I suggested to our PMO that
they listen to this and apply some of the ideas in our project
charter.
