The post idea was more regarding the talent triangle concept itself...

PMI Indicates that "while technical skills are core to project and program management, PMI research tells us they’re not enough in today’s increasingly complex and competitive global marketplace.

Companies are seeking added skills in leadership and business intelligence — competencies that can support longer-range strategic objectives that contribute to the bottom line"

What does this mean to project and program talent?

What does this mean to you?

What does it mean to the business?

What it means to me & companies is that to be considered a competent PM, you have to be an all-rounder in terms of hard skills, soft skills and sufficient domain expertise to be able to effectively manage a given project.

Rami, I have run calculations and I believe it came from Fibonacci sequence levels based on golden ratio of 1.618.
It is easy to maintain those 35 as min. 8 for each one and the rest 11 can be applied on any one but my concern is more on the GIVING BACK.

You can get 60 PDU’s from Education. As for giving back, I think there was a concern earlier as to why only 8 PDU’s for all 3 years for working as a practitioner. I believe this should be 15, yet it is not a concern for me and I am sure PMI has their rationale behind those numbers.

Yes 15 PDU's sounds closer to the mark for working as a PM for 3 years. Still I won't be claiming the 8 PDU's nor the giving back PDU's, so I am just left with training PDU's and the 1 PDU each for watching a webinar or reading a book for 1 hour.

I agree with all the comments here, for me what matters most is earning PDU's.

Watching webinars, attending online events, reading books is all part of learning for me and a source of keeping certifications alive.
Maybe in future PMI decides to add more categories to talent triangle (pentagon or hexagon).
