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=165d7ae0-9d18-43a6-b9be-fdfc32c89e37&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=165d7ae0-9d18-43a6-b9be-fdfc32c89e37&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=165d7ae0-9d18-43a6-b9be-fdfc32c89e37&cr=agentads-creative-pmi-v1) * PMI, "Maximizing Project Success" | [pmi.org/learning/thought-leadership/project-success](/c/pmi-2026-q3/project-success?i=165d7ae0-9d18-43a6-b9be-fdfc32c89e37&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=165d7ae0-9d18-43a6-b9be-fdfc32c89e37&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=165d7ae0-9d18-43a6-b9be-fdfc32c89e37&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=165d7ae0-9d18-43a6-b9be-fdfc32c89e37&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=165d7ae0-9d18-43a6-b9be-fdfc32c89e37&cr=agentads-creative-pmi-v1) ### FAQ structured data (JSON-LD, optional) ## Video: The Nantucket Project: How Storytelling is Getting in The Way of Your Success [Watch (HLS stream): The Nantucket Project: How Storytelling is Getting in The Way of Your Success](https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/HSYDj99Q.m3u8) (17:44)  _Published 2015-02-17.

Jul 25, 2014 10:00 AM UTC _This post is in partnership with Inc., which offers useful advice, resources and insights to_ _entrepreneurs and business owners_. _The article below was originally published at_ [_Inc.com_](http://www.inc.com/ss/jeff-haden/20-awesome-things-say-radically-improve-your-life)_._ You might be under the impression that intelligence is a fixed quantity set when you are young and unchanging thereafter. But research shows that you’re wrong. [How we approach situations](http://www.inc.com/jessica-stillman/the-one-belief-that-can-make-you-more-successful.html) and the things we do to feed our brains can significantly [improve our mental horsepower](http://www.inc.com/jessica-stillman/8-ways-to-be-smarter.html). That could mean going back to school or filling your bookshelves (or e-reader) with thick tomes on deep subjects, but getting smarter doesn’t necessarily mean a huge commitment of time and energy, according to a recent thread on question-and-answer site Quora. When a questioner keen on self-improvement asked the community, “[What would you do to be a little smarter every single day?](http://www.quora.com/What-would-you-do-to-be-a-little-smarter-every-single-day)” lots of readers–including dedicated meditators, techies, and entrepreneurs–weighed in with useful suggestions. Which of these 10 ideas can you fit into your daily routine? ## **1\. Be smarter about your online time.** Every [online break](http://www.inc.com/jessica-stillman/13-ways-to-productively-waste-time.html) doesn’t have to be about checking social networks and fulfilling your daily ration of cute animal pics. The Web is also full of great learning resources, such as online courses, [intriguing TED talks](http://www.inc.com/jessica-stillman/make-stress-your-friend.html), and vocabulary-building tools. Replace a few minutes of skateboarding dogs with something more mentally nourishing, suggest several responders. ## **2\. Write down what you learn.** It doesn’t have to be pretty or long, but taking a few minutes each day to [reflect in writing](http://www.inc.com/jessica-stillman/why-you-should-keep-a-work-journal.html)about what you learned is sure to boost your brainpower. “Write 400 words a day on things that you learned,” suggests yoga teacher Claudia Azula Altucher. Mike Xie, a research associate at Bayside Biosciences, agrees: “Write about what you’ve learned.” **3\. Make a ‘did’ list.** A big part of intelligence is confidence and [happiness](http://www.inc.com/jessica-stillman/happiness-makes-your-brain-work-better.html), so boost both by pausing to list not the things you have yet to do, but rather all the things you’ve already accomplished. The idea of [a “done list” is recommended by famed VC Marc Andreessen](http://www.inc.com/jessica-stillman/trade-your-to-do-list-for-a-done-list.html) as well as Azula Altucher. “Make an I DID list to show all the things you, in fact, accomplished,” she suggests. ## **4\. Get out the Scrabble board.** Board games and puzzles aren’t just fun but also a great way to work out your brain. “Play games (Scrabble, bridge, chess, Go, Battleship, Connect 4, doesn’t matter),” suggests Xie (for a ninja-level brain boost, exercise your working memory by trying to play without looking at the board). “Play Scrabble with no help from hints or books,” concurs Azula Altucher. ## **5\. Have smart friends.** It can be [rough on your self-esteem](http://www.inc.com/jessica-stillman/7-tips-for-working-with-people-who-are-smarter-than-you.html), but [hanging out with folks who are more clever than you](http://www.inc.com/jessica-stillman/one-surprising-sign-youre-cut-out-to-be-an-entrepreneur.html) is one of the fastest ways to learn. “Keep a smart company. Remember your IQ is the average of five closest people you hang out with,” Saurabh Shah, an account manager at Symphony Teleca, writes. “Surround yourself with smarter people,” agrees developer Manas J. Saloi. “I try to spend as much time as I can with my tech leads. I have never had a problem accepting that I am an average coder at best and there are many things I am yet to learn…Always be humble and be willing to learn.” ## **6\. Read a lot.** OK, this is not a shocker, but it was the most common response: Reading definitely seems essential. Opinions vary on what’s the best brain-boosting reading material, with suggestions ranging from developing a daily newspaper habit to picking up a variety of[fiction](http://www.inc.com/jessica-stillman/an-unexpected-tool-of-great-leaders-art.html) and nonfiction, but everyone seems to agree that quantity is important. Read a lot. ## **7\. Explain it to others.** “If you can’t explain it simply, you don’t understand it well enough,” Albert Einstein said. The Quora posters agree. Make sure you’ve really learned what you think you have learned and that the information is truly stuck in your memory by trying to teach it to others. “Make sure you can explain it to someone else,” Xie says simply. Student Jon Packles elaborates on this idea: “For everything you learn–big or small–stick with it for at least as long as it takes you to be able to explain it to a friend. It’s fairly easy to learn new information. Being able to retain that information and teach others is far more valuable.” ## **8\. Do random new things.** Shane Parrish, keeper of the consistently fascinating [Farnam Street blog](http://www.farnamstreetblog.com/), tells the story of Steve Jobs’ youthful calligraphy class in his response on Quora. After dropping out of school, the future Apple founder had a lot of time on his hands and wandered into a calligraphy course. It seemed irrelevant at the time, but the design skills he learned were later baked into the first Macs. The takeaway: You never know what will be useful ahead of time. You just need to try new things and wait to see how they connect with the rest of your experiences later on. “You can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backward. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future,” Parrish quotes Jobs as saying. In order to have dots to connect, you need to be willing to try new things–[even if they don’t seem immediately useful or productive](http://www.inc.com/jessica-stillman/are-you-too-productive.html). ## **9\. Learn a new language.** No, you don’t need to become quickly fluent or trot off to a foreign country to master the language of your choosing. You can work away steadily from the comfort of your desk and still reap the mental rewards. “Learn a new language. There are a lot of free sites for that. Use[Livemocha](http://livemocha.com/) or [Busuu](http://www.busuu.com/enc/),” says Saloi (personally, I’m a big fan of [Memrise ](http://www.memrise.com/)once you have the basic mechanics of a new language down). ## **10\. Take some downtime.** It’s no surprise that dedicated meditator Azula Altucher recommends giving yourself [space for your brain to process what it’s learned](http://www.inc.com/jessica-stillman/practice-makes-perfect-but-something-else-works-too.html)–“sit in silence daily,” she writes–but she’s not the only responder who stresses [the need to take some downtime from mental stimulation](http://www.inc.com/jessica-stillman/why-chronic-busyness-is-bad-for-the-brain.html). Spend some time just thinking, suggests retired cop Rick Bruno. He pauses the interior chatter while exercising. “I think about things while I run (almost every day),” he reports. _Do you have any suggestions to add to the list?_ **More:** [The 8 Best Industries for Starting a Business](http://www.inc.com/magazine/201404/darren-dahl/the-best-industries-for-starting-a-business.html?cid=readmore) [If This Guy Made $1M Wearing T-shirts and Selling his Name, What’s Holding You Back?](http://www.inc.com/dave-kerpen/if-this-guy-made-1m-wearing-t-shirts-and-selling-his-name-whats-holding-.html?cid=readmore) [The Top 5 Reasons Small Businesses Fail](http://www.inc.com/travis-thorpe/the-top-5-reasons-small-businesses-fail.html?cid=readmore) [5 Often Quoted Tips for Powerful Presentations](http://www.inc.com/john-treace/5-often-quoted-tips-for-powerful-presentations.html?cid=readmore) [7 Things Well-Liked People Always Do](http://www.inc.com/peter-economy/7-things-well-liked-people-always-do.html?cid=readmore) ### See the 10 Healthiest Cities to Live in America  Honolulu, Hawaii Best Place for Lifelong Health The heavenly climate helps, but the key to well-being here also includes enviable health care and a rich cultural tradition of looking out for one another.
