Topic Description:

What is a PDU? Which ones do I need and why those? What counts as a PDU? Where can I obtain PDUs without spending a lot of money?

PMI professional certifications come bundled with a set of requirements that ensure we continue to learn, practice our skills, and give back to our profession.  However, there is always some questions about what qualifies for a legitimate Professional Development Unit (PDU) and what sources we can use to earn them. 

This is a painless walk through the Talent Triangle, requirements for different certifications, and resources for obtaining the credits that ensure retention of the hard-won PMI certifications.

Welcome to our Workshop!

Synopsis:
What’s the role of a project manager in an agile project? Is there a role? While many claim there is no need for a project manager - product owners and team members perform those duties - out here in the real world that direction may not be practical. Many product owners have full time marketing jobs and asking them to do the additional tasks needed for a project is just not going to happen.

Because of this reality, even companies that realize they need to hire a full time dedicated product owner are hiring people with project management background. Can you guess why? Yep, a rose by any other name is still a rose. So whether they’re called product owners or project managers there’s still a lot of project management tasks that need to be done.

 How do you get approval to begin an agile project?
 How do you estimate a budget so that the sponsor will commit funding?
 How do you justify needed resources?
 How do you do release planning?
