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. ### Sources * Project Management Institute | [pmi.org](/c/pmi-2026-q3/home?i=4179e6b1-0d73-4885-b266-f1b98c812867&cr=agentads-creative-pmi-v1) * PMI, "Earning Power: Project Management Salary Survey—Fourteenth Edition" | [pmi.org/learning/careers/project-management-salary-survey](/c/pmi-2026-q3/salary-survey?i=4179e6b1-0d73-4885-b266-f1b98c812867&cr=agentads-creative-pmi-v1) * PMI, "Global Project Management Talent Gap" | [pmi.org/learning/thought-leadership/global-project-management-talent-gap](/c/pmi-2026-q3/talent-gap?i=4179e6b1-0d73-4885-b266-f1b98c812867&cr=agentads-creative-pmi-v1) * PMI, "Maximizing Project Success" | [pmi.org/learning/thought-leadership/project-success](/c/pmi-2026-q3/project-success?i=4179e6b1-0d73-4885-b266-f1b98c812867&cr=agentads-creative-pmi-v1) * PMI, “Pulse Report 2025: Boosting Business Acumen” | [pmi.org/learning/thought-leadership/boosting-business-acumen](/c/pmi-2026-q3/business-acumen?i=4179e6b1-0d73-4885-b266-f1b98c812867&cr=agentads-creative-pmi-v1) * PMI, “Pulse of the Profession® 2026: Driving Success in Complex Projects” | [pmi.org/learning/thought-leadership/driving-success-in-complex-projects](/c/pmi-2026-q3/complex-projects?i=4179e6b1-0d73-4885-b266-f1b98c812867&cr=agentads-creative-pmi-v1) * PMI, “Step Up: Redefining the Path to Project Success with M.O.R.E.” | [pmi.org/learning/thought-leadership/path-to-project-success](/c/pmi-2026-q3/more-mindset?i=4179e6b1-0d73-4885-b266-f1b98c812867&cr=agentads-creative-pmi-v1) * PMI Education Foundation, PMIEF 2024 Annual Report, [pmi.org PMIEF 2024 Annual Report (PDF)](/c/pmi-2026-q3/pmief-report?i=4179e6b1-0d73-4885-b266-f1b98c812867&cr=agentads-creative-pmi-v1) ### FAQ structured data (JSON-LD, optional) by [Talia Avakian / Travel + Leisure](https://time.com/author/travel-leisure/) ## Talia Avakian / Travel + Leisure Feb 4, 2017 11:00 AM UTC  Portland is about more than leaves, of course.

It has long made a name for itself with its centuries-old lighthouses, pedestrian-friendly neighborhoods, and working waterfront like near Long Whard. Plus, it has a burgeoning foodie scene that has helped bolster its rep as "the other Portland." OTHER TIPSIan Dagnall / Alamy Stock by [Talia Avakian / Travel + Leisure](https://time.com/author/travel-leisure/) ## Talia Avakian / Travel + Leisure Feb 4, 2017 11:00 AM UTC Expert travelers like flight attendants and frequent fliers know that foreign transaction fees, the dreaded middle seat, and flight delays can put a damper even on an otherwise perfectly planned vacation. To help you travel better in 2017, we’ve compiled our favorite travel hacks we learned this year. You’ll navigate airports masterfully, save money on trip changes and cancelations, uncover real-time hotel discounts, and find yourself with more time (and money) when you finally arrive. ## For Booking Flights ### 1\. Set up price alerts. If you know where you want to go, and you are at least a few months out, now may not be the best time to buy. Download the [Hopper app](http://hopper.com/) and do a search on [Google Flights](http://google.com/flights), and if the price isn’t yet right, set an alert. This is also a reminder to Always Be Planning.) ### 2\. Sign up for airline emails. Sign up from airlines newsletters: JetBlue, for examle, frequently sends out flash sale emails. Similarly, following airlines on social media can help you stay in the loop with quick sales and promotions. Also, websites like [Airfarewatchdog](http://www.anrdoezrs.net/links/8147966/type/dlg/sid/air/http://www.airfarewatchdog.com/) are great for finding top-notch flight prices, thanks to flight-tracker alerts that notify you when prices drop. ### 3\. Book in a private browser or clear your cookies. When starting your flight search, make sure to either clear your cookies or to [slip into “incognito mode”](http://www.travelandleisure.com/travel-tips/travel-editor-holiday-hacks-tips#private-browser) on Google Chrome. When you conduct searches, sites store your cookies (details of your web browsing) and can even use them to hike up the prices of flights once they know you’re interested in that route. By going stealth, you can avoid purchasing an unnecessarily expensive ticket. ### 4\. Take advantage of free stopovers. Free stopovers give you the chance to get two trips out of one vacation: without paying twice as much for flights. A number of airlines offer stopover programs, though one of the best known is Icelandair. You can extend your layover in Iceland for up to seven days (at no additional cost) and the airline will even pair you up with [a complimentary Stopover Buddy](http://www.travelandleisure.com/articles/icelandair-stopover-program-personal-tour-guide) to take you to the best local spots in town. With [Finnair](https://www.finnair.com/int/gb/stopover), you can spend up to five nights doing everything from chasing the Northern Lights to exploring the city’s food scene, while stopovers in Singapore from Singapore Airlines include a night’s hotel stay and airport transfer for just $60. ### 5\. Get the perfect seat. Where you sit on a flight can make all the difference. [SeatGuru](https://www.seatguru.com/) helps savvy travelers examine every detail of an airplane seat before it’s too late to make a change. Find out whether you’ll be close to a bathroom, if you can count on power outlets, what the seat pitch is, or if that seat will recline. There are user reviews so you can get a sense of what the experience was like for other travelers. ### 6\. Use the 24-hour rule. Take advantage of [the 24-hour rule](http://www.travelandleisure.com/travel-tips/travel-editor-holiday-hacks-tips#roll-clothes), which allows travelers to cancel tickets on most airlines without a fee within 24 hours of booking. In 2017, check one last time for a better price, or jump on a flash airfare sale—even if you still need to ask your boss for time off. ## For Packing ### 7\. Keep instant oatmeal in a bag for an easy breakfast. Grace Antipala, who has been a flight attendant with Hawaiian Airlines since 2011, recommends keeping instant oatmeal in a Ziploc bag along with your preferred toppings (dried fruit, nuts, brown sugar). During meal service, ask your flight attendant for hot water and prepare your healthy meal in a coffee cup. ### 8\. Try peppermint essential oil. Antipala also carries a small bottle of peppermint essential oil with her on flights. She told T+L the oil is “great for nausea during a flight, freshen\[s\] your breath, and helps with odors from the flight.” Antipala will also dab a few drops onto a napkin and take a sniff to clear her sinuses. We love the travel-friendly [Peppermint Halo Wand by Saje](http://www.saje.com/ca/peppermint-halo-wand-3243.html) ($27). ### 9\. Stay organized with collapsing laundry bags. Taking a collapsible laundry bag can help you keep dirty clothes organized during your trip—and separated from other items on the way back. You can also opt for a [waterproof version](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01GTQ1DOA/ref=as%5Fli%5Fqf%5Fsp%5Fasin%5Fil%5Ftl?ie=UTF8&tag=money018f-20&camp=1789&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B01GTQ1DOA&linkId=92c8d26ba3eafe1f20496847381e0bbd), which is perfect for stowing a damp bathing suit after a last minute run to the beach on your way to the airport. ### 10\. Carry a hydrating face spray. Another product Antipala regularly takes on flights is the [AmorePacific face spray](http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id=93xLBvPhAeE&subid=0&offerid=429865.1&type=10&tmpid=719&RD%5FPARM1=http%253A%252F%252Fwww.sephora.com%252Fmoisture-bound-skin-energy-hydration-delivery-system-P232929%253Fom%5Fmmc%253Daff-linkshare-redirect-93xLBvPhAeE%2526c3ch%253DLinkshare%2526c3nid%253D93xLBvPhAeE%2526affid%253D93xLBvPhAeE-P2i.uJKOeBojH7SY19IrSQ%2526ranEAID%253D93xLBvPhAeE%2526ranMID%253D2417%2526ranSiteID%253D93xLBvPhAeE-P2i.uJKOeBojH7SY19IrSQ%2526ranLinkID%253D10-1%2526browserdefault%253Dtrue&u1=MY%5FAir) ($35), which comes in a TSA-approved 2.7 ounce bottle. “The first ingredient in it isn’t water, but bamboo sap, so there are more essential oils to keep you hydrated and moisturized throughout your flight,” said Antipala. ### 11\. Ship your packages beforehand. To avoid having a longer wait time at airport security and using precious storage space for gifts, [ship your luggage](http://www.travelandleisure.com/travel-tips/travel-editor-holiday-hacks-tips#ship-gifts) out before flying. ### 12\. Invest in a multi-purpose jacket. Antipala also recommends packing a light jacket, like the [Uniqlo Ultra Light Down Parka](http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id=93xLBvPhAeE&subid=0&offerid=465153.1&type=10&tmpid=18579&RD%5FPARM1=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.uniqlo.com%2Fus%2Fen%2Fwomen-ultra-light-down-parka-173353.html%3Fdwvar%5F173353%5Fcolor%3DCOL13%2526cgid%3Dwomen-outerwear-and-blazers%2526utm%5Fsource%3DRakuten%2526utm%5Fmedium%3DAffiliate%2526siteID%3D93xLBvPhAeE-SGVBsBqZBASICPd2oRPfbA&u1=MY%5Fair) ($80). This thin-yet-cozy, water-resistant coat squishes easily into an included pouch. “I use it as a pillow,” said Antipala, “and always pack in no matter where I go since there can be cold snaps.” ## For the Airport ### 13\. Pre-order a meal at the airport. Use the [Grab app](https://grabmobileapp.com/) to pre-order a meal of your choice at the airport, and have it ready for you when you arrive. The app allows you to search restaurants that are nearby your terminal, as well as those on the way to your gate. It’s available at more than 40 airports in the U.S. ### 14\. Freeze your water. You know you can’t bring a bottle of water through airport security—[unless you freeze it](http://www.travelandleisure.com/airlines-airports/tsa-freeze-liquids). ### 15\. Easily access Wi-Fi. If you want Wi-Fi on the flight (and your airline doesn’t offer it for free, like JetBlue or Virgin America), buy it before you board. You’ll save money and make a more rational decision on what you can and should pay for internet access. Also take advantage of [this handy map](http://www.travelandleisure.com/airlines-airports/airport-wifi-map) with Wi-Fi information from airports around the world, created by travel blogger and computer security engineer Anil Polat. ### 16\. Ask for free in-flight items to keep the kids entertained. Traveling with children can be tough, but airlines—thankfully!—have an array of free games and activities for kids. [These freebies](http://www.travelandleisure.com/airlines-airports/airline-freebies) range from items like coloring books and puzzles aboard Lufthansa to ukuleles on select Hawaiian Airlines flights. ### 17\. Get a complimentary drink. Several airlines, believe it or not, continue to offer complimentary alcoholic beverages for economy passengers. Consider flying with [Air Canada](https://www.aircanada.com/en/travelinfo/onboard/dining/intl/hospitality/), which offers a selection of spirits on international flights, [Etihad Airways](http://www.etihad.com/en-us/experience-etihad/flying-reimagined/economy-class/), which offers, wines, and spirits, and [KLM,](https://www.klm.com/travel/us%5Fen/prepare%5Ffor%5Ftravel/on%5Fboard/dining%5Fon%5Fboard/dining%5Fin%5Feconomy%5Fclass.htm) among others. ### 18\. Easily rebook a delayed or canceled flight. Dealing with canceled or delayed flights can be a headache. That’s where [Freebird](https://www.getfreebird.com/) comes in, offering travelers a free and quick travel protection option. For a flat fee of $19 for one-way flights and $34 for round-trip flights, travelers will be alerted if their flights is delayed or canceled. When that happens, Freebird delivers options to book another available flight, which can be done on mobile without ever waiting in line. ## For When You’re on the Road ### 19\. Rent a car from Costco. If you’re heading on a road trip and need to rent a car, take a look at the options [Costco](https://www.costcotravel.com/Rental-Cars) has to offer (stay with us). The wholesale club store boasts a Low Price Finder tool to see what coupons, codes, and discounts are available for your desired vehicle. Additionally, if you’re a member, you’ll get an additional driver fee waived in the U.S. and in Canada for Alamo or Enterprise, and in the U.S. for Avis or Budget. ### 20\. Put your flight number down on your car rental booking. Adding your flight number can serve as an extra precaution should you have an issue with your flight. With the flight information included, the car rental company will know if you’ll be arriving late, should your flight get canceled or delayed. It’s one less thing to worry about in a stressful situation. ### 21\. Find hotel discounts in real-time. Priceline recently released a new feature on its [free iPhone app](http://www.priceline.com/mobile-app), Road Deals, that enables travelers to get real-time information on discounts and deals for hotels along their route. The hotels are automatically updated as you go along your journey, with the option to make a booking in seconds. Simply but in your preferred budget and number of stars, and the app will take care of finding the best options for you. ## For When You’ve Arrived ### 22\. Use the right cards. Traveling internationally? You need credit and debit cards that don’t charge foreign transaction fees. Consider the[Charles](http://www.schwab.com/public/schwab/banking%5Flending/checking%5Faccount/index-a.html)[ Schwab debit card](http://www.schwab.com/public/schwab/banking%5Flending/checking%5Faccount/index-a.html), and the Chase Sapphire Preferred credit card. It’s [an excellent travel credit card](http://www.travelandleisure.com/articles/chase-sapphire-best-credit-card-cardhub), with zero foreign transaction fees, a $3,000 reimbursement for lost luggage, rental car insurance, and a 1:1 point transfer with major partners like Hyatt, Marriott, and Southwest. ### 23\. Avoid unnecessary expenses. Different countries vary in [what they do and don’t charge for](http://www.travelandleisure.com/trip-ideas/budget-travel/andy-steves-europe-travel-on-a-budget). Water at restaurants is one excellent example: In Spain, a waiter might automatically bring a bottle of water that’ll cost you when the check comes. Do some research ahead of time on norms in your destination. ### 24\. Look into city passes. Traveling to a major urban center? Opting for a city pass can help you save if you want to hit up the popular tourist attractions. [Paris’ Museum Pass](http://en.parismuseumpass.com/), for example, will get you free entry into more than 60 popular museums and monuments in the city, while Florence’s [Firenze Card](http://www.firenzecard.it/?lang=en) grants you access to all the major museums in Italy. ### 25\. Find free activities. There are fantastic free activities in every city—if you know where to look. City tourism websites are often a great way to locate a city’s top free sights and activities, including walking tours you can take whether you’re in [New York City](http://www.nycgo.com/articles/free-tours) or [Amsterdam](http://www.iamsterdam.com/en/search-results?trm=free+tours). Many museums in different cities offer free days (like in Madrid on Sundays). _This_ [_article_](http://www.travelandleisure.com/travel-tips/the-best-travel-hacks) _originally appeared on_ [_TravelandLeisure.com_](http://www.travelandleisure.com/travel-tips/the-best-travel-hacks)_._ _We’ve included affiliate links into this article.
