Disciplined Agile Strategies for Greater Innovation Innovation isn't just for startups anymore. and in fact it never was. Unfortunately. most organizations are struggling to become more innovative. with their existing culture and ways of working (WoW) getting in their way more often than not. Given that innovation has become table stakes in the modern economy. this is a serious problem for established organizations. This and other IIL Learning in Minutes presentations qualify for PDUs. Some titles, such as Agile-related topics may qualify for other continuing education credits such as SEUs, or CEUs. Each professional development activity yields one PDU for one hour spent engaged in the activity. Some limitations apply and can be found in the Ways to Earn PDUs section that discusses PDU activities and associated policies. Fractions of PDUs may also be reported.

If you spend 30 minutes in a qualifying PDU activity, you may report 0.50 PDU.
