Hello Cornelius,
You have been brilliant, the people you interview have not let me down. I realized many things which I have not been paying attention to. There have been some eyeopeners so deja vu discussions but overall I am glued to your podcasts.
Thank you.

PM Podcast Praise
When I learned of PM Podcast, I thought I would find that most of the episodes would be boring or routine or useless or all of the above. Wow! Was I ever surprised after listening to a few, how useful the information is. Unfortunately, I needed to earn a LOT of PDUs in 10 days because I had put off the task for so long. I expected the task to be tedious, but I found each episode (which I admittedly chose ONLY by the title) to be powerful, useful, and engaging. Not tedious at all, I think the value of these short presentations has made the task of catching up a pleasure and dare I say, addictive. Thanks to all you special people who have made this tool come to life. It's a treasure of information

It is great to have a way to gain PDU s specially at LATAM since the courses are very expensive because of the volatility of the dollar.
And it is very useful to know and understand what kind of PDU s we need to take based on PMI triangle.Mexico City, Mexico

IT WORKS; LISTEN & PASS
Meridian Medical Management
I passed the PMP exam on the first try with two tools: PM Podcast & Exam Simulator. I would not have passed if I didn't listen to the episodes or take advantage of the 9 full length exams. I surrendered and did everything Professor Fichtner told me to do. When I took the exam, all I heard was his voice in my head: think, eliminate, mark for review, move on. The tips were priceless: use the 15 minute tutorial to brain dump, know where you are going the day before, and don't memorize but understand. The Podcast brought the PMBOK to life, the organization of the lessons built a solid foundation and the simulator put me through the Olympics of test preparation. I loved the Podcasts: I put them on when I commuted, when I walked the dog, when I exercised, when I was cleaning--it all got in there and I passed. The by-product of all of that prepareation was that I really learned; I wasn't studying for the test, I really wanted to learn these best practices because I realized that many of the habits I had could be improved. I learned. I retained. I believe that I am a better Project Manager from the process.

I obtained my PMP in 2014 and am nearing the end of my first cycle of PDUs for recertification in 2017. I have obtained my PDUs by buying a few courses, and also by listening to many of the PM Podcasts. I feel like Cornelius Fichtner is a personal friend! He does an excellent job moderating the interviews and asks perceptive questions that draw even more information out of the interviewee. I have found nearly every podcast to be time well spent, and learn a great deal that is directly applicable to the workplace. I highly recommend listening to PM Podcasts as a way to earn PDUs, and offer this suggestion to other listeners: I copied the Excel spreadsheet of PM Podcast Episodes, and then sorted the spreadsheet, first by Max PDU and then by category (Technical, Leadership, Strategic & Business). That way I could easily identify the courses that would earn the most PDUs (the hour-long ones), and also easily choose the podcasts that I needed to obtain the necessary PDUs in each of the three categories.

When I first realized that I wanted to pursue a career in project management, the PM Podcast was one of the first resources recommended to me. Since then it has not only been highly informative, but an example of what true project managers look like.
The way Cornelius and his guests conduct themselves and explain the varying topics have helped shape my perspective on the field and made me a better project manager and inspired me to continuously learn and improve.

Metrics podcast
I enjoyed listening to podcast #378 with Denise McRoberts concerning project metrics. As a Lean Six Sigma practitioner, I am interested in the cross over between LSS and traditional Project Management work. The story that McRoberts tells during the podcast about improving the performance of her PMO rings true to my experience. It was a nice example of defining the problem, measuring the data, analyzing the data and developing solutions around metrics.
However I think your podcast would benefit from more interviews with LSS practitioners about Continuous Process Improvement. The three characteristics that McRoberts mentioned about a good metric - taken over a period of time, alignment with organization's goals and strategies, lead to fact based decisions - are fundamental to LSS and someone with such a background could expand on the difference between Enumerative and Analytical statistics, Hoshin planning, and hypothesis testing.

Inspiring, and more diversity please
Straumann Ltd
I find PM podcasts extremelly inspiring. I listen them on my way to work, always arrive with new ideas to tackle points of improvement for my projects or with suggestions for upper management to consider.
One aspect that I'd improve is the inclusion of more diversity in interviews in terms of industries. IT professionals count with a great deal of over representation within forums, podcasts etc. So far I haven't go the chance to learn from many life sciences colleagues for example (my full respect to all IT professionals, by all means)
A second point I'd suggest for evaluation is the inclusion of discussions related to small to medium sized projects. Not all organizations deal with 100 member teams spread all over the world.
That said, I'm very thankfull to the entire team behind PM-Podcast for their outstanding work in providing us with access to an invaluable source of education.

Very helpful and interesting
I am following the PDU Podcast since 11/2014 - and there is few things I keep on following for such a long time!
Not only is it very easy but also, next to on-the-Job work, the second best option to earn valuable PDUs. The topics are well spread and the interviewees are always very much interested in showing their knowledge (good choice).
I wish Cornelius from the PDU Podcast all the very best and will stay tuned! All the best from your home country.

A very valuable real world lessons
I am a fan of the products, the interviews with practitioners with years of experience. They give valuable input as we know project management is very dynamic and there's not any single formulation to manage projects, thus input from experience and industry experts serve as our repositories and our own assets that can be very useful in some circumstances, also it helps to re-align our mindset of how things should get done, in what direction in what mindset - the actual realization of what we do may vary but should be toward within the right vision and mindset. Thank you.

Episode 8: P? M? O?
Episode 8 started with some new articles that, while not current news, were interesting, as them made me think about how things had changed over time and how some things had remained the same. Then the podcast discussed the meaning of PMO and what i t means to various organizations, depending on their needs, objectives, environment, etc. Three cases were reviewed and described. I was able to compare and contract my current organization's PMO to the three examples, understand which type we had, and understand why it was the right type for our organization. Thought-provoking discussion. Nice work!

Useful and straight to the point
In 2010 when I was studying for my PMP Certification, I purchased the "PM-PrepCast" package and it truly helped me to get my PMP in the first try. Now, I need to gather some PDUs and my company has decreased drastically any trainings, so I'm listening to the PM Podcasts to get my PDUs.

Pump pdus -thank you
I think you are doing a true service for all PMP certification holders through your podcast. Your talks not only assist in gaining PDUs they are relevant to our Project Management work. I shall give you an actual benefit. Every organization knows Communication is impotent and very often that is the one thing that is often not done in all honesty nor is it done promptly and properly. I was raising a concern about this but not getting heard too much. Then I heard some talks specifically on Communication in projects and was able to use those examples to get my point across.

I appreciate the progression of the podcasts over the years that have improved in presentation quality, informative topics, and the various guests Cornelius interviews. I keep learning something new, or appreciate another perspective on a topic that I may have experienced or am currently in the middle of managing. Cornelius talks in clear simple language, and comes across as having a simple conversation with you, as opposed to a Lecturer who just drones on and on.

Hello,
I've been listening your PM podcast for several years and I can say they brilliant. They as a rule, cover really important, useful issuses. What distinguish your podcast is the quality, guests having a deep knowledge in specific areas combined with derive from intensive practise and everything moderating in clever way to point out the key elements. Bravo.
Another very valuable aspects of PM podcast is the fact that you chose interesting subjects from very wide scope including soft and hard area within PM. Therefore, the best recommendation is just to listening your podcast if we want to make our extend and make our knowledge deeper. It would be really difficult to find the equivalent of the content of your PM Podcasts in books.
All your PM podcast are great but among them there are some pearls like the Episode 372 - fascinating!
Fantastic job generating a real added value for PM practitioners. Go on. With the best regards,

I recently listened to the Interview with Kristine Hays Munson. (Episode 006)
I have managed IT group(s) for over 20 years but am now looking into a more formal project management style role. I found your episode during my initial foray into researching this specific field of management.
I enjoyed the podcast, but also added a presentation file Kristine had produced. It made it much easier, for me, to follow the conversation with her slide deck on screen.
Thanks for the podcast. I look forward to finding more in project coordination and management topics.

my favorite source of PDU
Westin Engineering Inc.
During my first license renewal cycle I used this podcast just as source of PDUs. At that time there were just over 100 podcasts recorded. I did hear first 50 and became very surprised on how diverse opinions and thoughts are there from the PM professionals around. I am planning to enroll again and continue listening. This podcast is by far the easiest and most efficient, yet useful way to earn PDUs.

PM Podcast - A brilliant way to stay in touch with the PM field
PM Podcast is indeed a brilliant way to stay in touch with project management topics. I have been keenly following it for dual purpose. One is to earn PDUs and the other to stay abreast with the PM topics/gain knowledge. The passion and dedication for the subjects Cornellius has is clearly evident from his approach and his voice. I wish PM podcast all the very best and simply hope it continues it's great work and services to the profession for ever.

It is very convenience for busy PMs. I live in Vietnam where is quite difficult to find out the good organizations to update PM knowledge offline. Be side that we can earn PDU free to maintain our certificate.

The Practicing IT Project Manager LLC
I currently follow about a dozen podcasts related to project management, leadership, and business management in curating my weekly round-up of project management content at The Practicing IT Project Manager. After listening to The Project Management Podcast for about five years, I believe it to be the best of the best. Some good ones have come and gone, but Cornelius Fichtner has managed to maintain a consistent level of excellence that others only aspire to and rarely achieve. Highly recommended, from someone who listens to every project management podcast and reads an average of 150 articles each week.

The PM Podcast is an excellent source for fulfilling PMP recertification PDUs. Cornelius not only has interesting interviews, but he has categorized these podcasts according to the PMI structure (Technical, Leadership, Strategy) in an easy-to-follow spreadsheet.

Knowledgable Topics and free PDUs
Cognizant Technology Solutions
PM podcast is really very interesting portal for knowledgeable and useful topics for PMs and PM aspirants, not with texts or whitepapers but with videos which I believe is the simplest way of learning. The most useful aspect of this portal that it is authorized by PMI and it provides free PDUs for PM to maintain their credential with PMI. The topics it includes are very interesting to listen so not only for PDUs but anyone interested in gaining knowledge can go through.

Lecturer
I've been meaning to email you to thank you for the approval to use your PM podcasts for lecturing purposes. I am a lecturer at the University of Tasmania (Australia) in the School of Information Systems and lecture at the third year and Masters level in IS Project Management. Your podcasts are great. I have listened to them, and they are clear and focus on specific areas and very informative. I am using eight of your podcasts as a student resource and these tie in very well with the lectures notes and they are not too long. They stress the importance of project management skills as well as the necessity of following a PM methodology. Your podcasts provide important information that will help students understand the complexities of IT/IS projects.
