Balanced Risk - Challenges of Project Risk Management At this time when the economy and the financial markets are out from the recession, the market players have been able to gain the knowledge that Risk Management is to be considered comprehensively and is an essential factor for enterprise stability. Risk management was often limited to a past-related mistake analysis, but it became clear in the latest crisis that a professional and proactive management of chances and risks is an important, critical successful factor in the planning and monitoring of projects, programs and comprehensive portfolios. The PMI Frankfurt Chapter in collaboration with Risk Management Specific Interest Group (RiskSIG) and CSC Deutschland Akademie are co-hosting a conference with the topic: “Balanced Risk - Challenges of Project Risk Management” to be held March 17-18, 2011 at the CSC Business Center in Wiesbaden, Germany (near Frankfurt).

PDU Category Structure Being Updated Effective 1 March 2011, PMI will implement a simplified structure for categorizing professional development units (PDUs). Based on customer feedback, the new PDU structure will be more user-friendly and better serve PMI’s credential holders and the stakeholders who support them. If you hold one of PMI’s credentials that require PDUs for maintenance, please be sure to register your earned PDUs in the continuing certification requirements (CCR) system prior to 1 March. No PDUs will be lost during this transition. After 1 March 2011, credential holders will need to report any earned PDUs that have not been claimed using the new categories. Overview of Changes The restructuring will reduce the number of PDU categories from 18 to 6. The six new categories will be grouped under two divisions—“Education” and “Giving Back to the Profession.” All categories use the rule that one hour of learning activity is equivalent to one PDU. Categories have been expanded to include Web 2.0 learning opportunities. There will be limits on certain categories in the “Giving Back to the Profession” division to ensure that all credential holders pursue project management continuing education as part of maintaining their credential. What is Not Changing The three-year renewal cycle and number of PDUs required to maintain your credential will remain the same, as will the recertification fee structure. Please take a moment to go to the http://www.pmi.org/GLOBALS/PDU-Updated-Category-Structure-Implementation.aspx and read through the FAQs and the New PDU Category Structure and Policies document to learn about the new PDU categories and for more detailed information about this update.
