PMI Talent Triangle

The Continuing Certification Requirements (CCR) issued by PMI in November 2015, and effective December 1, 2015, stipulate that PDU claims for Education must be classified by skill area. The three skill areas, referred to as the Talent Triangle, have been defined by PMI as shown below. The examples which are listed are intended to be illustrative, not limiting. The allocation of the PDUs claimed to the three Talent Triangle categories, for participating in Society events, is determined by your own judgement.
