Certification holders must complete a certain number of PDUs in each competency of the PMI Talent Triangle in order to renew their certifications. According to PMI\u2019s Continuing Certification Requirements (CCR) Handbook, prior to renewing the PMP<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> credential, an individual may claim up to 25 PDUs for \u201cgiving back to the profession\u201d. This could include up to working as a practitioner (8 PDU maximum), creating content, giving a presentation, sharing knowledge, or volunteering. However, they must complete the other 35 PDUs with a minimum of 8 Ways of Working PDUs, 8 Power Skills PDUs, and 8 Business Acumen PDUs. [Page 5, PMI CCR Handbook]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"T-Shaped-Skills\">T-Shaped Skills &amp; PMI Talent Triangle<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Traditionally, project managers are expected to be versatilists, generalists with areas of specialization and a knack for adapting to evolving roles. One term that is commonly used to illustrate this is \u201cT-shaped skills\u201d, with the horizontal bar across the top of the \u2018T\u2019 representing the breadth of a project manager\u2019s knowledge while the vertical bar descending from the middle of the horizontal represents the depth of knowledge in their respective areas of expertise. Adherence to the PMI Talent Triangle ensures that a project manager increases both their breadth and depth of knowledge as they pursue continuing education and professional development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When examining the concept of T-shaped skills and how they overlap the talent triangle, it is easy to see how different training and education accomplishments meet different criteria for different certifications. PMI specifically states that the Business Acumen and Power Skills competencies apply to all certifications, the Ways of Working competency is certification-specific. When evaluating programs for training or education, it is important to look at what the ways of working focus is and how it will benefit you for educational or continuing education requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns has-background is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-3 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\" style=\"background-color:#f3fbff\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:40%\">\n<div style=\"height:60px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"720\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/e360-media.s3.amazonaws.com\/2022\/09\/01094754\/Emotional-Intelligence-Free-PDU-Course.jpg\" alt=\"Free Course on Emotional Intelligence\" class=\"wp-image-6604\" srcset=\"https:\/\/e360-media.s3.amazonaws.com\/2022\/09\/01094754\/Emotional-Intelligence-Free-PDU-Course.jpg 720w, https:\/\/e360-media.s3.amazonaws.com\/2022\/09\/01094754\/Emotional-Intelligence-Free-PDU-Course-300x250.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\">\n<div style=\"height:48px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\" id=\"block-eef25254-e22e-41f6-826b-cab064e3d095\"><strong>Free Emotional Intelligence PDU<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-14690051-2796-4b03-bcb7-95d54bd01fcd\"><em>Develop your Emotional Intelligence as well as your team members in this Free PDU Course!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<script>\n\t\t\t\t\t\thbspt.enqueueForm({\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tportalId: 3294842,\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tformId: \"9513deed-dab2-44ea-a7fb-33297ddc13b6\",\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\ttarget: \"#hbspt-form-1775355151000-2386027659\",\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tregion: \"na1\",\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t});\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/script>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"hbspt-form\" id=\"hbspt-form-1775355151000-2386027659\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:10%\">\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"35-Hour-PMP-Exam-Prep\">35 Hour PMP Exam Prep<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The 35-hour PMP exam prep bootcamp offered by Project Management Academy offers hours of education in each of the competencies, but when applied for PDU purposes it is easy to see how the ways of working hours have fall across certifications in different ways:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn2.hubspot.net\/hubfs\/3294842\/PDUs%20Claimed%201.png\" alt=\"PDUs Claimed 1\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn2.hubspot.net\/hubfs\/3294842\/PDUs%20Claimed%202.png\" alt=\"PDUs Claimed 2\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Studying for the PMP Exam?<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-horizontal is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-1 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button has-custom-width wp-block-button__width-100 is-style-fill\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-text-color has-background\" href=\"https:\/\/projectmanagementacademy.net\/free-pmp-questions\" style=\"border-radius:2px;background-color:#366194\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">PMP Practice Questions<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:8px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>The PMP certification course\u2019s ways of working hours only apply to the PMP credential. This is not always the case. An example of ways of working hours qualifying for multiple certifications is the PMI-ACP<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> exam preparation course offered by Project Management Academy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While it may seem needlessly confusing, PMI\u2019s Continuing Certification Requirements (CCR) Handbook offers excellent explanations about the differences. It states, \u201cSince power skills and business acumen concepts are broader educational topics and not specific to any one certification domain area, the PDUs claimed in these education areas can be applied across all certifications.\u201d Additionally, it states, \u201cEducation around ways of working skills is specific to each certification domain area (e.g., the ways of working skills needed to perform program management are different than those for business analysis).\u201d (Page 16, PMI CCR Handbook)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"PMP-Exam-Outlines\">PMP Exam Outlines<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The ways of working domains within each certification can be found within their respective Exam Content Outlines. The table below offers an overview of the different domains by certification, as collected from their Exam Content Outlines:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn2.hubspot.net\/hubfs\/3294842\/Talent_Triangle_Table.jpg\" alt=\"Domains within the Talent Triangle\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Within this table we can see many recurring themes, such as a focus on communications and stakeholder engagement. Typically, communications and stakeholder engagement fall into Power Skills skills as being \u2018cross-cutting\u2019 skillsets that a professional should possess to enhance success within project work. Within the PMP Exam Content Outline, the section on \u201cCross-Cutting Knowledge and Skills\u201d specifically lists many communication and stakeholder engagement skills, such as: conflict resolution, facilitation, interpersonal skills, meeting management techniques, negotiating and influencing techniques and skills, relationship management, stakeholder management techniques, and many more. This is not to say that some certifications list these specifically as part of the domains as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Task 3 in Domain 1 for the PMP exam is to \u201cPerform stakeholder analysis using appropriate tools and techniques in order to align expectations and gain support for the project.\u201d This is very similar to Task 2 in Domain 4 for the PgMP<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> exam, which is \u201cPerform stakeholder analysis through historical analysis, personal experience, interviews, knowledge base, review of formal agreements. . .\u201d Task 1 in Domain 3 for the PMI-ACP exam is \u201cIdentify and engage effective and empowered business stakeholder(s) through periodic reviews. . .\u201d Further examples of cross-over are available within the respective stakeholder domains for the PMI-RMP<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> and PMI-SP<sup>\u00ae <\/sup>exams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Summary\">Summary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While training and education should be selected based upon organizational and personal growth needs, the utility of fulfilling PDUs should not be disregarded. Understanding how credit can be awarded is an important step in preventing unnecessary frustration as you keep your certifications current. If you have any questions on completing your PDUs or satisfying educational prerequisites to sit for a PMI<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> certification, please contact Project Management Academy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>If you are in need of PDU hours to fulfill the PMI Talent Triangle certification needs?
