To explain them more, technical project management refers to the knowledge, behaviors, and skills relevant to Project Management domains as well as Program Management and Portfolio Management domains. Meanwhile, the business and strategic management include the knowledge and expertise related to the company or its industry which improves the performance to delivers improved business results. Leadership refers to the skills and behaviors as well as the knowledge related to leadership activities that help the company achieve the intended business objectives.

While the renewal cycle stays the same, these certifications have different requirements for maintenance PDUs. PMI only requires 30 PDUs to maintain PMI-ACP, PMI-RMP, PMI-SP certifications instead of 60 PDUs. The PDUs distribution is the same for all of these certifications across both education and giving back to profession categories. Accordingly, PMI requires certification holders to report a maximum of 12 Giving Back PDUs and a minimum of 18 Education PDUs. The distribution of education PDUs between talent triangle skills is a minimum of 4 leadership PDUs as well as a minimum of 4 Technical PM PDUs and a minimum of 4 strategic and Business management PDUs. While setting a limit of a maximum of 4 PDUs for reporting working as a professional / practitioner of the giving back PDU category.

The important thing to highlight about the CCR program is that PMP education PDUs are divided according to the PMI talent triangle. This distribution follows the three key skill categories of project managers:

1. Ways of Working: formerly Technical Project Management
2. Power Skills: formerly Leadership
3. Business Acumen: formerly Strategic and Business Management
