### 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.

Thailand [rolled out](http://time.com/4339705/leicester-city-soccer-football-thailand-bangkok-king-power-celebrations-epl/) the red carpet—though perhaps a better color would be royal blue—for the players and staff of Leicester City, the [newly crowned](http://time.com/4315339/leicester-wins-premier-league/) champions of English soccer.

In an open-top bus tour of the Thai capital, Bangkok, on a baking hot Thursday evening, tens of thousands of people waited patiently in the heavy air for a passing glimpse of the country’s new heroes, the conquering team owned by the Thai company King Power. Police closed roads in the bustling city center to allow an open-top bus—an old London double-decker—to squeeze through the throngs of emotional crowds.

**Read More:** [**All the Emotions of Leicester Winning the Premier League, as Shown By 3 Guys in a Pub**](http://time.com/4315477/leicester-premier-league-reaction/)

At times the Leicester players looked startled by the outpouring; at other moments amused. The faces of goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel and manager Claudio Ranieri looked particularly amazed. For this is “Amazing Thailand”, as the travel slogan goes, and what would pass in other cities as chaos, calamity or civil strife, in Bangkok just feels like another day.

Noise levels reached fever pitch as the bus toured past some of the city’s affluent shopping malls, surrounded by teams of screaming teenage girls, fist-pumping lads, babies held on fathers’ shoulders. Like Leicester’s miracle season itself, this was an emotional ride, a cavalcade of acclaim for this team of underdogs that a country on the other side of the world has suddenly adopted.

**Read More:** [**Leicester’s Historic Victory Has Stunned World Soccer**](http://time.com/4313569/leicester-english-premiership/)

On the top deck of the bus stood the glittering Premier League Trophy, and beside it the Leicester club chairman, Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha, posed like Leonardo DiCaprio on the bow of the _Titanic_. The Thai billionaire _wai_\-ed in thanks, smiling beatifically. More than anyone—even more than the players who had led their team to the most improbable championship run in sport’s history—today was his moment in the sun.

The Thai business tycoon has been lauded for his running of the club, and he seems to be genuinely admired and respected by the players and fans alike—something of an anomaly in the world of professional soccer, where chairmen and club owners are frequently reviled as self-motivated tycoons.

**Read More:** [**A Buddhist Temple in Bangkok Is Now a Venerated Site for Leicester City Fans**](http://time.com/4315973/buddhist-temple-bangkok-leicester-city/)


The club chairman is hosting the Leicester players at the Pullman Hotel, which lies within the King Power Center, the centerpiece of his own business fiefdom. King Power owns a near-monopoly on duty-free goods at Bangkok’s two international airports. It is also Leicester’s shirt sponsor and lends its name to the team’s stadium.

Fifty-five year old Busbakovn Samolluck offers a magnificent smile as she tells a reporter that her love affair for Leicester began as soon as she heard it was owned by a Thai person. “They played so well this season. And they are just a small humble team; that’s why I love them.”

Leicester-born Peter Ellis and his wife Susan were on holiday in Thailand when they heard about the visit of the team, which is known affectionately in this country as _Jingjawk Siam_, meaning “Siamese Foxes”. Speaking to TIME at the King Power Center, where he was waiting in line to buy one of the official new jerseys, the 69-year-old Ellis said that he could not believe his luck to be in Bangkok at the same time this celebration was going on.


“As a lifelong Leicester fan, I have watched the team through years of disappointment, including losing cup finals in 1961, 63 and 69,” he told TIME. “I just never believed this \[winning the league\] was ever going to happen.”

Outside in the street, two young Thai women, Salila and Poonsuk, say they are waiting for the chance to see Christian Fuchs, the club’s star left back, “because he is so handsome,” they giggle. (They add that the Danish goalkeeper Schmeichel runs a close second.)

The waving, smiling, screaming, photo-snapping Bangkok pedestrians were not a far cry from the jubilant scenes the Leicester players witnessed on May 16, when they held a victory parade in Leicester in front of a quarter million revelers.

Speaking at a press conference yesterday at the King Power Center, team chairman Vichai said he had two dreams: to see Leicester “stay at the top”; and for Thailand to qualify for the World Cup. The latter is a tall order: the Thai national team has made it to the final stage of the Asian qualifiers, but faces an uphill task in a group that includes Japan, Australia and Saudi Arabia.


As for the Siamese Foxes, the Premier League Trophy will remain in their hands—and the hands of their proud Thai chairman—for at least another year.
