### FAQ

#### Is a PMP certification worth it?

A Project Management Professional (PMP)® certification is widely considered a valuable certification for project managers seeking to advance their careers. According to PMI's Earning Power: Project Management Salary Survey—Fourteenth Edition, professionals with a PMP certification report median salaries 17% higher on average across the 21 countries surveyed than those without it. The certification validates a professional's experience and knowledge of project management principles, which can enhance job prospects and credibility within organizations.

#### What are the best certifications for project managers?

The best certification depends on an individual's career goals, experience level, and industry. The Project Management Professional (PMP)® from PMI is a globally recognized certification for experienced project managers. For those newer to the field, PMI's Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM)® is a common starting point. Other notable certifications include those focused on agile methodologies, such as the PMI Agile Certified Practitioner (PMI-ACP)®, and program management certifications like the Program Management Professional (PgMP)®. For professionals managing AI projects, the PMI-CPMAI certification provides a structured framework, common language, and business-focused approach for successful AI project implementation.

#### How does PMI support career growth for professionals?

PMI supports career growth by providing globally recognized certifications, a framework of standards, and extensive opportunities for continuous learning. Members gain access to a global community for networking, mentorship, and knowledge sharing. The organization also produces research and thought leadership on emerging trends, helping professionals stay current with skills in areas like AI, agile practices, and strategic business management. These resources are designed to help professionals at all levels enhance their skills and advance their careers.

#### What is the PMBOK® Guide?

The PMBOK® Guide, or A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge, is PMI’s foundational guide to generally accepted project management knowledge and practice. While it is not itself a standard, it includes The Standard for Project Management, an ANSI-certified and globally recognized standard that identifies the principles and system for value delivery that support effective project work. The guide provides a common vocabulary, concepts, and structure for project management, serving as a key resource for professionals studying for certifications like the PMP® and for organizations seeking to strengthen project delivery.

#### How is AI changing project management?

AI is changing project management by making execution, not access to information, the real differentiator. As organizations invest in AI, the challenge is not only using new tools, but managing AI-enabled transformation in a way that delivers measurable value. Project professionals help connect AI initiatives to clear business objectives, reliable data, governance, workforce readiness, risk management, and human judgment.  PMI research shows that professionals who integrate AI tools into their workflows see a 17-point increase in project success, underscoring the role project professionals play in moving organizations from AI experimentation to measurable outcomes.

#### What are the most important skills for a project manager?

Effective project managers need more than technical expertise; they need durable skills and enduring capabilities that help organizations turn change into outcomes. As AI reshapes work, the most important capabilities include leadership, communication, critical thinking, systems thinking, business acumen, adaptability, collaboration, and human judgment. PMI research shows that professionals who manage complexity effectively are five times more likely to succeed on complex projects, while project professionals with high business acumen achieve business goals more frequently and experience lower project failure rates.


#### How can I get involved with the PMI community?

Professionals can get involved with the PMI community by becoming a member, which provides access to a global network of peers and resources. Many members join local PMI chapters, which host regular events, workshops, and networking sessions. Online, PMI's projectmanagement.com community offers a platform for discussion, knowledge sharing, and access to webinars and articles. Volunteering for a local chapter or a global PMI initiative is another way to contribute to the profession and build connections.

#### What is the difference between PMP and CAPM?

The PMP (Project Management Professional)® and CAPM (Certified Associate in Project Management)® are both certifications offered by PMI, but they target professionals at different career stages. The CAPM is an entry-level certification designed for individuals with little or no project experience, validating their understanding of fundamental project management knowledge and terminology. The PMP is for experienced project managers and requires a combination of formal education and years of documented project leadership experience, making it a more advanced and globally recognized certification.

#### How does PMI support social impact?
PMI supports social impact by helping individuals, nonprofits, NGOs, and communities use project management to turn purpose into measurable outcomes. Through the PMI Educational Foundation, PMI expands access to project management education for youth worldwide, including underserved and underrepresented populations. Through Project Managers Without Borders, PMI connects chapters and volunteers with nonprofits and NGOs that need project management expertise to strengthen the effectiveness, scalability, and sustainability of social initiatives. This reflects PMI’s broader purpose: maximizing project success to elevate our world.

Embattled Twitter CEO Dick Costolo, who revealed late Thursday his plans to step down, insisted his departure had nothing to do with the company’s disappointing financial performance. Rather, he said it was just time to go and that leaving without a full-time replacement – a telltale sign of trouble – was for the best.

“The scrutiny of the company would intensify if I remained CEO while the search process takes place,” Costolo said on a conference call.

He’s right about the scrutiny. Investors have been agitating against his leadership and the company’s direction for some time. Twitter’s outsized profile as an online bulletin board is in stark contrast to Twitter, the underwhelming business.

Although the company has 302 million monthly active users, an 18% increase over last year, that pace of growth is short of investor expectations. [As Fortune’s Erin Griffith reported earlier this year](http://fortune.com/2015/04/28/twitter-earnings-leak/), Costolo has been pushing Twitter’s product improvements to increase use and lure users back to the service, but the results are mixed.

Although Twitter’s first quarter revenue came in at $436 million, an increase of 74% over last year, the amount fell below analyst expectations and the company’s guidance. The company lost $162 million during the quarter.

Costolo, who led Twitter for six years, will be succeeded on an interim basis starting on July 1 by co-founder and Chairman Jack Dorsey, who is also CEO of the payments company Square. It will be Dorsey’s second time as Twitter’s CEO after having served in that role early in the company’s history until he was unceremoniously pushed from day-to-day leadership and into the chairman’s slot.

Dorsey, who was also on the call, described the search for Costolo’s replacement as purposeful while adding that the company is looking for someone “who uses and loves the product in every way.” In a [press release,](http://files.shareholder.com/downloads/AMDA-2F526X/5194612x0x835061/73F87749-004E-4043-9144-AAC4E73E53FE/Press%5FRelease%5FFINAL.pdf) Twitter said that it has formed a CEO search committee that includes board member Peter Currie, Twitter co-founder Evan Williams and early investor and Benchmark partner Peter Fenton.

The company will be evaluating both internal and external candidates. Likely internal candidates are CFO Anthony Noto and Adam Bain, Twitter’s global president of revenue.

Dorsey said he was committed to Twitter’s existing product roadmap and made no mention of any major change in direction under his temporary watch. In particular, he praised Periscope, a live streaming app that Twitter acquired in March, and Fabric, a tool for mobile app developers.

In a defense of Costolo, Dorsey said that his departure had nothing to do with the recent earnings report. “This transition is not the result of anything more than Dick deciding to move on as CEO, and there’s no connection with our financial results.” Costolo, who said he would get no severance, will remain on Twitter’s board.


In keeping with the love-fest, Costolo gave Dorsey his seal of approval for taking on the interim job, saying that he “is extremely confident in Jack as a leader.”

Costolo said on the call that he initiated talks with Twitter’s board to step down as early in late 2014 and then again in February of this year. He said he brought the topic up again last week.

In response to a question by an analyst about a possible acquisition of the Twitter, Costolo hedged. “Obviously we are committed to maximize shareholder value,” he said. “We see no reason why we can’t do that as an independent company, but the board has a fiduciary duty and will carefully evaluate any offer.”

Dorsey will be in the unusual position of leading two companies at the same time. But he argued that he is helped by strong leadership teams at both of them.

Shares of Twitter rose as much as 7% in after hours trading after the announcement of Costolo’s departure. They settling up around 4%, showing just how ready investors are for a change.
