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.

I'm your host Neha Joy, and we're here with the top stories of the week. From time, money, a fortune and sports illustrated to make sure your prepared to dominate the convo at happy hour or weekend brunch. Now this week, from an NFL draft that's all about the quarterbacks, to the money whisperer that has millennials hooked and thinking about retirement. We've got you covered, so let's dive in. 32 teams, 7 rounds, and 256 picks to select exceptional college athletes. To join the NFL for an opportunity to realize their dreams and maybe even change their team's fate. At this year's NFL draft taking place from April 26th to April 28th in Arlington, Texas. When one player can Can change your team. The stakes are high, and the stakes are even higher as this year's draft figures to be quarterback- heavy with potentially four signal callers, like Heisman trophy winner Baker Mayfield, all going in the top ten. Earlier I sat down with Sports Illustrated's senior writer Albert Brier to discuss how teams and experts are making sense of this year's nail- biter of a draft. [ MUSIC ] Sports Illustrated Editor, Albert Breer, here with us. Welcome to the Breakdown. Thanks for having me. All right now, I'm gonna jump right into it. Now this year's NFL draft is pretty much all about the quarterbacks, am I right? It's always about the quarterbacks. The position's almost different than Any other in sports, because it's separate from its sport.. They develop differently when they're kids, they're recruited differently to college. They're coached differently when they get there. They're drafted differently into the NFL. And then ultimately, look at the salaries, they're paid differently as pros. So You can say it's all about the quarterbacks, but it's always all about the quarterbacks this time of year. So sticking with the quarterbacks, walk us through some of the rising stars that we have here in the top ten. Yeah, and I think that there's a good chance that four guys go inside the top ten, Josh Allen from Wyoming. He's a bigger player, more physically gifted but a little more raw than Than the other three. Sam Darnold from USC, probably considered the safe bet of the four. Baker Mayfield, the Heisman Trophy winner from the University of Oklahoma, who's as well known as any of these quarterbacks. A little unconventional, he's shorter, moves around a little bit differently. And then Josh Rosen, and he's from UCLA. He's probably been on the NFL's radar longer than the other three, but there are some personality questions with him. So Each of these guys have potential to be franchise quarterbacks in the NFl, but each has significant holes and I think for the teams that are drafting in the top ten, it's going to be with each kid. What can we coach this kid past? Now of course these are all guys that are once Ones to watch but aside from skill what are these teams looking for in certain players, let's say personality wise when it comes to making their best pick. At that position it's just, I mean the comfort level's the most important thing. I mean look, if you take Saquon Barkley the running back from Penn State or Quenten Nelson, the guard from Notre Dame or Bradley Chubb the defensive end from NC State in the top six or seven picks. It's important to your future but you're probably not going to get fired because of it. When you take a quarterback that high you are literally, and this goes for the general manager and the head coach, you are literally tying your job security to the guy. So, look, there is all of this stuff that's important. Arm strength, mobility, the ability to see the field and go through progressions. All the different stuff. That football wise you have to be comfortable with but then there's a comfort level with the person too and I think for John Dorsey, the General Manager of the Cleveland Browns is going to be making a decision on the number one overall pick from Mike Maccagnan, the Jets General Manager For Dave Gettleman the Giants general manager, when they're looking across the table at these quarterbacks, it's literally am I comfortable tying my job security to this kid? And that's where personality can kind of play in to the way these teams view each of the prospects. Now we have the Cleveland Browns. The New York Giants and Jets and the Denver Broncos, they're all top picks, and they're all quarterback- needy teams. So of course, each team is gonna look for a different kind of QB. Each QB has their own distinct style, so I mean what's your take here? Who do you thinks going where? Well I think that we know right now quarterbacks are going to go at one to Clevland and at three to the Jets. A lot of what's gonna happen in the draft is gonna boil down to what the Giants do at two because you know there's supply and demand element to all of this and if you have quarterbacks going one, two, three Then the fourth of those big four, there becomes a demand for them. I think it's likely the Giants go the other direction and maybe either trade out or draft a position player like a Barkley or a Chubb. And then I think the Broncos is sort of what player falls to them. I've heard that they like Mayfield. I've heard that Gary Kubiak, who had been the coach there, Matt Russell, who's a personnel chief there. They really like Mayfield. Ultimately it's gonna be John Elway's decision so I think you look at the top five there. Browns are taking a quarterback. Jets are taking a quarterback. The Giants right now, 24 hours out I would lean they're not gonna take a quarterback. And then the Broncos, I think if the right player falls to them that they'd have a discussion about. That's the intrigue of how the top five's gonna go. because on top of those five you've also got some teams in Buffalo and Arizona who are going to be looking to make big moves off to go and get one Of course. But then again you never know what's going to happen on draft day. So we'll see what happens. Now the 2018 NFL draft is going to happen Thursday night April 26 in Arlington. Text us so we'll see what happens. Yup. All right, once again. Albert, thanks for chatting with us. Good luck with the show. Thanks. [ BLANK_AUDIO ] Thanks to Albert for joining us. We're all sitting at the edge of our seats for this year's draft picks. Now up next, an unlikely finance crew that has millenials hooked. [ MUSIC ]. Well Cardi B may be the soundtrack for millennials making their money moves. This generation's financial guru has more in common with the golden girl than the golden rapper. The 72 year old co- author of 1992 best seller, Your Money or Your Life set money mag audience abuzz this month as their unlikely cover girl. Vicky Robin has reemerged as a celebrity of sorts thanks to an impassioned subreddit community centered around financial independence and early retirement. With more 350, 00 subscribers from around the world, this mostly millennial movement is breaking financial norms and re- imagining their relationships with money altogether. Despite stereotypes, millennial money habits are just as good if not better than other generations. Approximately 1 in 6 have $ 100, 000 or more in savings, and almost half have $ 15, 000 or more in savings. Unsurprisingly, Robin's words have found a new life amongst a post- recession generation, where no one gets to work 40 years at the same company with a pension to show for it. So for this do- it- yourself generation that can learn anything on YouTube They're blowing up the entire concept of a career, retirement, and starting from scratch. Robin's advice isn't about becoming rich. It's about figuring out how much is enough for you. This perspective could mean opting out of the traditional workforce decades earlier than expected or at the very least, allowing for some major saving. This is like not rock science [ LAUGH ] basically it's easier to balance sheet and get in the present you know how much do you have, how much do you owe, having money simply something you e trade your life energy for. It induces this desire to pay attention to the flow of money in your life not because your financial planner told you but because You are starting to value your life more than your money. The next layer of financial independence is basically getting out of debt. And then, sort of the bottom tier of it, is that you save enough money that you can invest and you can free up your time for what matters more In your job. And while millennials are saddled with debt to the increasing costs of higher ed, they're still finding ways to save. Robin shares her top money saving tips. What inappropriate use of So, credit cards is the thing I see to gets people in the most trouble. We are lack in a consumer society where we have people buy more than they need with money they don't have. In order for industry to continue. And so that's a problem, that's a problem but it doesn't mean that you should have to participate or just think about saving up for things, anything that you wanna buy, take a look at where you can Get it for the best amount of money and very often most of the stuff I buy is used. I let somebody else take the 50 % hit of buying it fresh off the rack and smelling like the department store. A resource shared is a price halved, really. The goal is to support the greatest financial freedom and have people think critically about what they really want. Once investment income exceeds expenses, you're at the highly anticipated crossover point where folks have enough of a passive income to ensure their dreams are within reach. Now up next, the recent royal birth has TIME asking, what does your birth order determine exactly? Baby, earlier this week, the Duchess of Cambridge gave birth to a third child to join Will and Kate's royal ranks following siblings Prince George, age four and Princess Charlotte, age two. While being royalty and fifth in line for the throne will determine many aspects of this little prince's life The simple role of birth order my hold an odd yet arbitrary all its own. Case study after case study has illuminated how our birth order can be a reliable indicator of our personality traits. So what lies ahead for baby number three and the rest of the royal brood? Well, let's break it down. [ MUSIC ] As the eldest, George is not only the closest heir to the throne, he also joins the prestigious First Childs Club with company including Beyonce, Hillary Clinton, and Elon Musk. Firstborns have a tendency to thrive Across history, they've reportedly been taller, healthier, better educated, and ultimately richer than their younger siblings. Statistically, even their IQs are a few points higher than their younger counterparts. In fact, every astronaut to go into space has been either the oldest child in his or her family or the oldest boy. [ MUSIC ]. Not a bad back up plan if the monarchy thing doesn't work out for you George. Lovely melody . >> The new prince's arrival means Princess Charlotte now has something else in common with late grandmother Princess Diana, growing up a middle child. Definitely great company to keep but the spot is even more appealing with peers such as Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg. Middle children are known to be popular, building bigger and larger networks since they often have to compete for attention. Now as the newly minted youngest child the UK's tiny prince can look forward to shaking things up at home. Being the youngest means he'll be more inclined to be rebellious. How else can you make a name for yourself when you have such big shoes to fill? It also means he's statistically more likely to be funnier, more intuitive, and more charismatic than his older siblings. Since you can't physically out maneuver your elders younger sibs learn how to charm everyone. It's no wonder Stephen Colbert, George Clooney, and J. Law all stand out as the youngest of their bunch. [ BLANK_AUDIO ] Well one thing is for certain little prince, you are already making us smile. And now on to the ongoing scandal to hit Starbucks with fortune. [ MUSIC ] [ MUSIC ] Starbucks CEO Kevin Johnson has been on an apology tour after two black men were removed from a Philadelphia location after an employee alerted local police. A video captured by another customer showed the two men, who had not purchased anything, quietly seated, waiting for a friend, before police handcuffed and escorted them off the premises. [ MUSIC ]. Collective online outrage has held the company and it's CEO accountable for the incident with customers threatening a boycott. Now this is not the first time the company has gotten into hot water over discrimination, just days after the Philadelphia arrest a video emerged of a black man being denied access to a California location's bathroom. While a white man was provided an entry code. Neither of the men were paying customers. However, in contrast to the company's past, Johnson has sent a new tone for Starbucks, doubling down on personal and corporate accountability. He shared this with Good Morning America. I personally apologize to the two gentlemen that visited our store. Now certainly You know, it's my responsibility to understand what happened and what led to that and ensure that we fix it. And now the company will close all company owned stores for the afternoon on May 29th for racial bias education day but will it work? The news set the internet a flutter with memes [ MUSIC ] And has Johnson's apology toward her actually been effective in sustaining goodwill amongst customers threatening a boycott? Fortune senior writer Beth Cohen shares her thoughts. So I think no one really belives that you're going to be able to tackle Centuries of racism in this country in an afternoon, I think Starbucks would acknowledge that much as well. And they have said that this is a first step and this is a PR move, for sure, but I actually think that it's smart and helpful to at least start the conversation and I really do think that's what they're trying to do here. We're seeing with Kevin Johnston that this is kind of the first real test. Of his leadership. In terms of sort of social issue, and I think he is signalling that he is going to follow the same path as Howard Schultz here and really take these issues on. One thing here that is really key, is that you see the emotion of both Kevin Johnson, the CEO and Howard Schultz the Chairman. Kevin Johnson sort of tearing up talking about it. That's real. You can actually see real emotion there. Howard Schultz saying he was embarrassed and ashamed. I mean these are pretty powerful statements from leaders of a company Whether the company can address its systemic failures is to be determined But thanks to customers that double as citizen journalists, Starbucks is aware of the critical lapses that may have fallen under the radar in previous years.
