Obligation to Complete Pesukei Dezimra

Arrived late to prayer and skipped parts of Pesukei Dezimra during Shacharit, but recited Baruch She'amar, Ashrei, and Yishtabach. Is there an obligation to complete what was skipped after the prayer?

Answer

There is no obligation, but it is proper to say them.

Shulchan Aruch, Orach Chaim, Siman 281 implies that there is significance.
