Education PDU

Research has shown that employers need practitioners with more than just technical domain skills. Leadership and business intelligence skills are imperative to support long-range strategic objectives that contribute to their success. The ideal skill set is a combination of technical, leadership, and strategic and business management competency -- what the Project Management Institute calls the PMI Talent Triangle.^TM

• Technical project management: Knowledge, skills and behaviors related to specific domains of Project, Program and Portfolio Management.
• Leadership: Knowledge, skills and behaviors specific to leadership-oriented, cross-cutting activities that help an organization achieve its business goals.
• Strategic and business management: Knowledge of and expertise in the industry or organization that enhances performance and better delivers business outcomes.
