It does an excellent job and I've been using it for a few years. If I attend an event, I scan in the physical proof and within Evernote, I add comments like number of PDUs and details of the event. For podcasts, just do a screen grab, save it to Evernote, and add some details about date listened to, duration, and topic. You'll be all set! Chris, I keep a digital library of my PDUs on Evernote.

I just got off the phone with PMI. When claiming PDUs for something like a roundtable discussion, the only proof you need is an agenda or something similar. For the Category 2H, it’s kind of a free for all. IF you are working with the title of Project Manager or in a PM capacity, for the duration of 6 months, you get 5 PDUs. You can claim the 2H PDUs up to 3 times during the cycle (3 years). That’s it! There is no audit for 2H PDUs. I have to admit, I don’t agree with this. I think I’m going to have to publicly apologize to you with a post. I’ve been keeping track of my projects since being audited back in 2006. Greg, I steered you wrong.

"Time in service" - is this the same as "duration of project managed"? I know PMI are particular about not having overlap when claiming your experience hours prior to taking the PMP exam, so I assume they expect the same thing here. It seems that the CCR "engine" and the rules behind it are not very helpful when you are trying to lodge the claim for under Cat 2H: it assumes once you have more than 6mths between the dates that you are claiming the full 5PDUs. I see your point about keeping the documentation separate, in much the same fashion as the pre-PMP exam requirements do - that makes the most sense. Thanks for the quick response!
