Your Complete Step-by-Step Guide for Scrum Alliance (SEUs) & PMI (PDUs)

If you’ve completed a Scrum, Agile, or professional development program and want to maintain your Scrum Alliance or PMI certifications, you’ll need to claim SEUs (Scrum Education Units) or PDUs (Professional Development Units).

This blog walks you through the exact steps to claim both SEUs and PDUs—even when your course provider is a third-party and not pre-approved.

Part 1: How to Claim SEUs (Scrum Education Units)

For Scrum Alliance certifications: CSM, CSPO, A-CSM, A-CSPO, CSP-SM, CSP-PO

Scrum Alliance requires renewing your certifications every 2 years by earning SEUs and submitting renewal fees.

On the right hand side panel, click on “Add or Edit SEUs” button.

3. Manage SEUs

Scrum Alliance divides SEUs into Activity Types such as:

Learning (Examples include reading books or articles, preparing a presentation, and watching a webinar.)
Events (Get SEUs for attending Global Scrum Gatherings, Regional Scrum Gatherings, User Group activities, and any other agile events or trainings.)
Volunteering (Add SEUs for any non-compensated services you offer or volunteering activities completed.)
Other (Scrum/Agile activities – Add all learning and activities to your log to show your knowledge growth.)

Activity Type: Learning

4. Add Activity Details

Fill in the following fields:

Activity Description
Activity Date

Part 2: How to Claim PDUs from PMI (Project Management Institute)

PMI requires PDUs every 3 years to maintain certifications. If your training provider is a third-party (not pre-approved by PMI), follow these steps:

Steps for Claiming PDUs

2. Choose “Course or Training”

Power Skills (Knowledge, skills and behaviors specific to leadership-oriented, cross-cutting skills that help an organization achieve its business goals.)
Business Acumen (Knowledge of and expertise in the industry or organization that enhances performance and better delivers business outcomes.)
If you hold multiple PMI certifications, PDUs will automatically apply to all applicable ones.

You’ll receive:

A confirmation message
