Wed, 22 Dec 2010 09:47:00 -0800 PMI anuncia nova Estrutura de Categoria de PDUs (Unidades de Desenvolvimiento Profisional) http://thesmartpms.posterous.com/pmi-anuncia-nova-estrutura-de-categoria-de-pd http://thesmartpms.posterous.com/pmi-anuncia-nova-estrutura-de-categoria-de-pd

Alguns meses atrás eu postei o The ABC of PDUs (Professional Development Units) em resposta a uma série de perguntas de outros colegas portadores de credencial do PMI sobre como obter PDUs para manter suas credenciais. As recomendações incluídas no post podem ainda ser válidas, as categorias para reportar PDUs vão mudar.

Na semana passada a nova Estrutura de Categoria de PDUs que será efetiva em 1 de março de 2011 foi publicada pelo Project Management Institute (PMI). O principal objectivo desta alteração é simplificar a estrutura de categorias.

A mudança é resultado do feedback dos membros do PMI, que tornara a estrutura menos complexa  para relatar PDUs. A nova estrutura vai reduzir o número de categorias de PDU de 18 a 6. As novas seis categorias serão agrupadas em duas divisões:Educação (Education) e Devolvendo à Profissão (Giving back to the Profession).

Portadores de credencial terá limites em a divisão Devolvendo à Profissão de forma a equilibrar a aquisição dos PDU e para assegurar que a educação continua de gerenciamento do projetos contribuia para manter suas credencias.

A regra para todas as categorias é: 1 hora de aprendizagem = 1 PDU.

A mudança na Estrutura de Categoria de PDUs não terá impacto no ciclo de renovação de três anos e o número de PDUs necessária para manter a credencial (s) permanecerá o mesmo.
