Well, my first PMP cycle just completed last week or so. I now start my 2nd, 3-year PMP cycle.
What does that mean? Well, it means that it’s time for me to start earning PDUs again.
Now, let’s be clear. Even though I got my 60 PDUs all during my first year, I didn’t stop PM study, learning, or coaching. In fact, until it was interrupted by a recent company acquisition, we were on track to offer our 2nd PMP Fundamentals course internally here. It was going to start and finish before I could earn any more PDUs off it, so I was working hard to spread that wealth to the 4-5 other PMPs in my area. Company integration work is going to delay that training for a while, but we’ll pick it up again, I’m sure. There was a lot of interest in it.
So, how do I plan to do the PDU’s this time? Since I’ve found Astro Player for my Android device, podcast listening is way easier, so I think I’ll start with the PDU Podcast and PM Podcasts. Cornelius has really set up a a couple of nice systems, easy to document and report for PDUs, easy to listen to, and a good range of topics and material for keeping things fresh without being overwhelming.
- You can earn up to 30 PDUs (Category C) with the Free or Premium version PM Podcast.
- You can earn unlimited PDUs by subscribing to the PDU Podcast.
Because I end up doing a fair amount of mentoring and training that count for PDUs, I don’t need to try to do it all with podcasts, so I like using Cornelius’ Premium PM Podcast. But I highly recommend Cornelius’ PDU Podcast. I know his quality presentations, and if you’re not going to pursue a variety of PDU activities, his is a great, simple, quality approach.
