How Fast Should You Earn PMP PDUs?

Your required pace is remaining PDUs divided by the time left in your three-year cycle; finish early enough to resolve rejected or delayed submissions.

Your required pace is remaining PDUs divided by the time left in your three-year cycle; finish early enough to resolve rejected or delayed submissions.

Fit it into the PMI structure

Keep the overall PDU total separate from Education, Giving Back, and Talent Triangle fields so one completed category does not hide a shortage in another.

Report as you go

PMI directs certification holders to report PDUs in CCRS. Recording activities soon after completion reduces end-of-cycle reconstruction and missing-evidence problems.

Renewal is more than earning PDUs

When the requirement is complete, follow the current PMI renewal workflow and fee step. Your personal tracker is a planning aid, not the certification record.
