The PDU is the measuring unit used to quantify approved learning activities. One PDU is earned for every hour spent in a planned, structured learning experience or activity related to project management.
To align an activity to more than one skill area of the PMI Talent Triangle, you will need to determine the time spent per skill area, to accurately determine the amount of PDUs.
PMI Talent Triangle skill area activities can be awarded in PDU increments of .25, beginning with .25.
For example, for an 8 hour activity (excluding breaks and lunch hours): 7 hours were spent on Technical Project Management topics; 45 minutes were spent on Leadership topics; and 15 minutes were spent on Business and Strategic management. You would then assign 7 PDUs to Technical and .75 PDU to Leadership and .25 to Business and Strategic management.
