Welcome to the September Salem Branch meeting. Presently I serve in the volunteer position of Willamette Valley Chapter VP of Programs…. One of my responsibilities is to understand what Educational, Training and Workshop sessions our membership and community require. Today we continue our Technical Change Management plan to understand..… # 1 The CCR system. # 2 Each PDU will need to be recognized within the new category # 3 The changes in the CAPM/PMP Certification Exams

Soooo..What does CHANGE feel like..

Whatever it feels like..its how your behavior manages the change that counts !

#1: Lets discuss CCR CHANGES for certification holders… Continuing Certification Requirements Migrating to the new CCR process

Why are the CCR requirements changing ?? According to PMI Global’s market research, certification holder’s and organization’s feedback identified specific skill areas employers need now and in the future from project practitioners to deliver better results. These skills areas are represented in the PMI Talent Triangle. The CCR updates align professional development activities, specifically Education activities, with the PMI Talent Triangle.

WAIT FOR IT…

WAIT FOR IT…….

PMI talent triangle sides defined BLUE SIDE = Technical Project Management: Knowledge, skills and behaviors related to specific domains of Project, Program and Portfolio Management. GREEN SIDE = Leadership: Knowledge, skills, behaviors specific to leadership-oriented skills that help an organization achieve its business goals. PURPLE SIDE = Business and Strategic Management: Knowledge of and expertise in the industry or organization that enhances performance and better delivers business outcomes.

What is the “schedule” for CCR changes ??

Renewal Requirements There are different renewal requirements for the Education and Giving Back categories based on the expiration date of the certification cycle. Please refer to the table below.
