Quick Update Just a quick update... (as if I was capable of that) PMI Northen Utah Chapter's Professional Development Day was a couple of weeks ago. It was a great event. I wrote a little bit about it on my personal blog site - http://aporterspace.com. I am working on blogging more regularly, but it can be difficult to blog and work on writing projects at the same time. Next year I will be in charge of the PDD. I have some large shoes to fill, but am excited for the opportunity. PDUs from the PDD put me over 60 PDUs with over a year left, but that doesn't mean I get to sit around and do nothing for a year. The book I co-authored 4 chapters for is currently scheduled to be published in January. I'm fairly certain that will mean PDUs that I can roll over into my next certification cycle, but that is not why I participated in the project. I really did it for the opportunity to participate in what I believe will be a great body of work, and to speed up my timeline to get published. I still want to publish my own book (or two), but that will take time. In the meantime, there are articles to write. The Requirements Networking Group (RQNG) has published my first article, 'The Requirements Delivery Plan," in which I advocate treating requirements like a project and using a delivery schedule to manage expectations for requirements delivery: http://www.requirementsnetwork.com/node/2646 While I would love to claim PDUs for it, I can't, and I didn't write it for the PDUs. One of my goals is to be a regularly published author - books or articles. I'll worry about PDUs and getting paid later. For now I am building my platform and refining my writing style. I would love to talk more about the book, but we're not going to promote it heavily until closer to the release date.

This year is my first year with the PMP credential. In the last few months, I managed to put together a list of free, quality events that combined offer a grand total of over 70 PDUs (ganttHead PMXPO included!). PDUs aren't elusive creatures PMs should be on an all-consuming, obsessive hunt for. In most cases, PDUs come right along naturally as you complete a webinar that sparked your interest, attend a workshop or just do your normal everyday job. Please Login/Register to leave a comment.
