If you've earned PDUs on ProjectManagement.com, you've used the PMI Talent Triangle®. Every webinar and on-demand video here carries a Talent Triangle alignment, showing which legs its PDUs count toward. Since 2015, the triangle has given project professionals a shared way to describe their development: delivery expertise, the human skills that make it work, and the business context that gives it purpose.

PMI is proposing an update for 2026, and the proposal is open for comment until November 21.

What's changing

The three sides of the triangle are not changing. The competencies within them are. The 35 illustrative skill examples published in 2022 become a defined list, each one with a description and a documented evidence base.

On the current proposal, Ways of Working would become Project Delivery: the methods and disciplines used to define, plan, control, adapt, assess, and complete project work. Power Skills and Business Acumen keep their names.
