The Project Management Professional (PMP) credential requires renewal every three years to maintain its active status. Upon successfully completing the renewal process, which includes earning the required Professional Development Units (PDUs), a new certification cycle commences. The start date of this new cycle establishes the subsequent renewal deadline.
Maintaining an active PMP certification demonstrates a commitment to ongoing professional development and adherence to industry best practices. Continued certification enhances professional credibility and marketability within the project management field. Understanding the renewal cycle ensures timely compliance with PMI requirements and prevents lapse of certification.
