### 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.

## Transcript

Hi, I'm Doug Aamoth. You can call me Doug or Mr. A, you know, Doug is fine. Today we're gonna be looking at the Amazon Fire TV. That's all it is, right there. I'll take you through a setup real quick and then show you the interface and a bunch of other good stuff. Setup is simple, it's HDMI into the back of the TV and then a power plug into the wall. And when you order this from Amazon it syncs with your account before they ship it out, so all your stuff will be there that you've purchased. So, here we are at the main interface. This home menu is sort of a smorgasbord of available stuff. We can go into Movies, TV, Watchlist.

Apparently I have Spongebob Squarepants Season One, queued up. I will not apologize for that. Video Library, this is stuff I've purchased on Amazon already. I did not purchase Bethenny, either of those. That's, those are my wife's. Eat Pray Love that's my wife. Psych, I did buy that. And then games, of course, we'll get into those in a little bit. Apps and Photos, I need to set that up still. So, scrolling through the menus here, you click to the right and you've got recently added movies, new releases. Another click to the right you go into a carousel- like interface like this. Amazon touted the swiftness of the interface thanks to the, quad- cord processor, the 2 gigabytes of RAM, and the dedicated graphics processing unit, and it is indeed pretty slick.

And also pretty slick is the Voice Search. You hold down the microphone button on the remote control and then you speak into the microphone. And you can use, use complex names like Dulé Hill, Gerard Dépardieu, Joaquin Phoenix. And then by clicking on the result, you can see all the movies, TV shows that Joaquin Phoenix has been in. So, we'll see how quickly a movie starts playing once you click Watch, going to The Thomas Crown Affair, click Play Now, and it starts up pretty quickly. Amazon says it uses predictive technology to try to guess which movie you're gonna play, and then start pre- buffering it so it plays almost instantly.

As far as available apps go Netflix is gonna be a big one for a lot of you, I'm assuming. And as you can see, the interface is similar to several of the other Netflix interfaces on smart TV's and game consoles. One thing that's important to point out as it pertains to that search feature I just showed you. Let's say you're searching for House of Cards. You're gonna get results that are purchasable from Amazon. You're not gonna get the couple seasons you can watch direct from Netflix. So, it's not a universal search across what's available from Amazon and the apps that are available from on Fire TV.

So, it's just the Amazon content that gets searched in this case. And that being said, search is pretty powerful for things other than actors and actresses and movie titles and that kinda stuff. You can say things like cooking apps. [ MUSIC ] Disney movies. [ MUSIC ] TV shows with awkward teens in outrageous situations. [ MUSIC ] Awe. That was a little optimistic. Now we'll take a look at some of the games. We've got Riptide here. With a game like this, the controls are pretty simple. It works to use the Amazon Fire TV remote. You've got left and right and then down to brake and up for turbo. But some of the more involved games use the $ 40 add- on controller, which has several buttons.

Another cool thing, if you've got a Kindle Fire tablet, you can start playing a video, a movie, Thomas Crown Affair here and cast it up onto the Fire TV. [ MUSIC ] And then it'll do, you'll have Amazon X- Ray, which as you're going along it'll show you who's in what scene and get more information about each character and stuff like that. You can also mirror the entire display of the tablet on the Fire TV. So, now as you can see, I wanna browse the web, do Imgur up on my TV, everyone's dream of course. New email, play games, that kind of stuff. Anything you see on your tablet is basically tossed up on the screen.

So, those are the basics of Fire TV, and my initial first impressions are, that the remote is quite a nice differentiator, especially with the voice search and the ability to control games. The horsepower under the hood is nice, especially if you're gonna play games. Probably not quite as important for media, but still nice to have that there. As with any streaming media box it depends on what kind of content ecosystem you're already invested in. If you already own a bunch of Amazon content, and you have prime membership, then Fire TV makes a lot of sense. If you buy all your movies and TV shows from Itunes, Fire TV doesn't make as much sense.

But nice first outing from Amazon. We'll have plenty more analysis on Time. com. Search for Amazon Fire TV.
