Need to get 70 PDUs to maintain my PMP certification, but I don't think project management is where I want to focus development-wise. Thoughts on just letting my PMP lapse?

Don't you have a CPE requirement at Deloitte. We have 40 per year at pwc and they've basically all counted for the PMP as well.

I just don't see project management as a particularly innovative or complex subject. Didn't the Egyptians figure this stuff out for the pyramids?

The pyramids used slaves. We have to use "resources". See why we can't just use what the Egyptians did?

Would it be insensitive for me to conjecture that The ancient Egyptian program managers called them "resources," too?

I thought it was 60 pdus....I haven't done any lol

We still have 40 annual required that count for PMPs

Don't let it lapse. Project management is useful regardless what your primary focus is. You can get PDUs just for project experience. Also many of Deloitte's trainings (milestone school) qualify.

Any certification that meets ISO 18074 is respected. PMP is just one example

I've flipped through the PMBOK and didn't see anything I wanted to learn more about. But it's about credibility, and nothing says that like 'my certification has a certification.'

I thought it was easy to get pdus
