TOPIC: Can I earn required remining 31.5 PDUs by buying $5.99 PM podcast subcription? Does it fit into the new PMI requirement

Hello Cornelius,
I have earned 28.5 PDus, my current PDU status as seen on PMI site:
Education
22.75 Technical
0 Leadership
5.75 Strategic & Business

Can I earn required remining 31.5 PDUs by buying $5.99 PM podcast subcription? Does it fit into the new PMI requirement? Please let me know.
Thanks,
Shibani

Shibani,

We believe that it does, but we are only 99.9% sure at this time. This is why I wrote to PMI and asked them about it. We will make it official as soon as we have their response. Visit www.pm-podcast.com/pdu in a few weeks after we update.

In the meantime, take a look into the episode directory where we already updated everything for the talent triangle:

Cornelius,

If I may, since it's been a few months, I have two questions regarding this topic. 1. Has PMI verified the PDU count? 2. Is the spreadsheet updated before/after each podcast?

Thanks,

Chris

Chris,

Here are my answers for you...

1. Has PMI verified the PDU count?
PMI does not endorse individual programs or webinars. It is up to us both to do that. As the program provider I have to ensure that it meets the criteria that PMI has set up and as the person who claims the PDUs you are responsible to ensure that you claim the correct number in the correct category.

2. Is the spreadsheet updated before/after each podcast?
Of course! But not before/after... just after...

Thanks Cornelius!
