PDU Reporting

Professional Development Units (PDUs) are credits needed for renewal of the PMP and other PMI certifications. Attending PMI Portland Chapter events is an excellent way for credential holders to maintain their PMI certifications. One hour of instruction related to Technical Project Management, Leadership or Strategic and Business equates to one PDU.

The PDU listings on the PMI.org site are handled by our global organization and the Portland Chapter has no management or oversight to this. A number of older items are there by design, as this is the historical record of events. 

Based on the updated rules for PDU classifications, the Portland Chapter is not required to specifically list events that are 1 to 2 hours in length, which includes our  monthly Chapter meeting (educational and keynote are 1 PDU each) and Roundtable events (1 PDU each). Credential holders will report their own PDUs, see below.

How to Report 1-2 PDUs

Chapter Meeting, Educational Presentation and Roundtables are each worth one PDU. At this time CCRS will not allow multiple entries for the same day so it is important that you enter both PDUs if you attend both the educational presentation and the chapter meeting keynote.

  • Navigate to the PMI GOC PDU Reporting web page (current URL is https://ccrs.pmi.org/)
  • Log in with your PMI GOC username and password
  • Select Report PDUs from the menu
  • Under the Education heading, select Organization Meetings

PDU1

  • Fill in the meeting or conference Information:
    • Organization/Host - You may type in PMI Portland and choose from the dropdown or simply enter C031
    • Title - List the title(s) of the presentations you attended
    • If you wish you may enter some description but it is optional
    • Enter the date started and completed
  • Enter the PDUs claimed within the Talent Triangle shown
    • Note: you can list more than one category. If the educational presentation is about technical project management enter 1 PDU under technical, If the keynote is about leadership enter 1 under leadership in whatever combination makes sense.  The Chapter will work to publish what category is appropriate for each presentation.
