Claim PDUs after CSM and CSPO workshops with steps from MSAgileMed 2026
Right now, agility shifts faster than ever – certificates can’t keep up unless skill growth never stops. Skill updates matter most when change refuses to slow down.
If You Recently Earned Your CSM Or CSPO Through MSAgileMed There Might Be An Extra Benefit Few Notice
Claiming PDUs might help keep your PMP or PMI-ACP active. These units come from learning activities approved by PMI. Renewal often depends on how many you collect over time. Each certification has its own rules about totals needed. Think of it as tracking progress through ongoing training.
Starting at the beginning, this clear walkthrough covers each part of the system, moving into how claims work bit by bit. Because these job perks matter, knowing every stage helps avoid gaps. From first steps to final actions, it lays out what happens when you apply. Miss a detail? That could mean losing something useful later.
Understanding PDUs Simply
Pacing your growth in project work? The PMI counts it through PDUs – short for Professional Development Units. These units follow what you learn, plus how you add to the field’s knowledge. Learning keeps score here, not just time spent.

PDUs Go Beyond Time
Your dedication shows up in how you show up
- Continuous learning
- Skill enhancement
- Staying updated with Agile & project trends

Education Courses and Training
Most folks overlook how tightly Scrum learning ties into schooling – it just does. A classroom shapes understanding, much like workshops shape methods. Learning happens where structure meets curiosity. Training sticks when it feels less like a lecture, more like discovery. Schools build minds. So do these sessions.
