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=0932ff95-2aad-48ba-86d8-286222dab540&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=0932ff95-2aad-48ba-86d8-286222dab540&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=0932ff95-2aad-48ba-86d8-286222dab540&cr=agentads-creative-pmi-v1) * PMI, "Maximizing Project Success" | [pmi.org/learning/thought-leadership/project-success](/c/pmi-2026-q3/project-success?i=0932ff95-2aad-48ba-86d8-286222dab540&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=0932ff95-2aad-48ba-86d8-286222dab540&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=0932ff95-2aad-48ba-86d8-286222dab540&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=0932ff95-2aad-48ba-86d8-286222dab540&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=0932ff95-2aad-48ba-86d8-286222dab540&cr=agentads-creative-pmi-v1) ### FAQ structured data (JSON-LD, optional) by [Phil Bicker](https://time.com/author/phil-bicker/) and [Olivier Laurent](https://time.com/author/olivier-laurent/) Jan 4, 2015 12:00 PM UTC  everydayusa Fall reflections in NYC… @markpetersonpixs -@reduxpictures everydayusa Fall reflections in NYC… @markpetersonpixs -@reduxpicturesMark Peterson by [Phil Bicker](https://time.com/author/phil-bicker/) and [Olivier Laurent](https://time.com/author/olivier-laurent/) Jan 4, 2015 12:00 PM UTC _Whether through digital channels, print or on exhibit, the impact, influence and reach of the still image has never been greater. But with so many images fighting for our attention, how do photographers make work that most effectively stands out and connects with an audience. In this seven-part series, TIME looks back over the past 12 months to identify some of the ways of seeing—whether conceptually, aesthetically or through dissemination—that have grabbed our attention and been influential in maintaining photography’s relevance in an ever shifting environment, media landscape, and culture now ruled by images._ **Everyday Everywhere** There is little doubt that when [Everyday Africa](http://everydayafrica.tumblr.com/) was launched by photographer Peter DiCampo and writer Austin Merrill in 2012, it offered a welcome and refreshingly positive take on a continent that was so often portrayed through strife, turmoil, war and famine. The project—made with smartphones and disseminated through social media platforms including Tumblr and Instagram—concentrated on showing the mundane and incidental aspects of everyday life to reveal a side of Africa that was often overlooked. [Everyday Africa’s subsequent expansion](http://time.com/3598045/everyday-life-around-the-world-as-told-through-instagram/) from its two founder members to a wider network of contributing photographers established the model that this year became a franchise and spread Everyday’s reach across the globe, from Everyday Asia and Everyday Latin America to Everyday Bronx. One of the most interesting developments came when David Guttenfelder ([TIME’s Instagram Photographer of the Year 2013](http://time.com/11618/david-guttenfelder-is-times-pick-for-instagram-photographer-of-the-year/)), Matt Black ([TIME’s Instagram Photographer of the Year 2014](http://time.com/3615902/matt-black-instagram-photographer-of-2014/)) and a collective of talented documentary photographers—and equally innovative Instagram users—launched Everyday USA, not only to record offbeat moments but to bring awareness to off-the-radar issues here at home. This year, TIME gave the group its first commission for #TIMEvets, a multi-platform project coinciding with Veterans Day. Alongside Everyday USA, Guttenfelder somehow found time in his busy newfound freelance career (this year, he parted ways with the Associated Press after 20 years) to initiate Everyday DPRK to continue his work from inside North Korea through the lenses of the country’s homegrown photographic talent. Over the past two years, DiCampo has helped guide photographers interested in developing their own outshoots – with Everyday Asia and Everyday Latin America drawing on his input to shape their message. And this year, the Everyday project matured when the “owners” of some of the most successful Everyday accounts met for the first time in New York to coincide with an exhibition of their work. “I think we have a voice to talk about what cell phone photography is and to try, in some way, to lead the discussion on rights, usage and \[the like\],” DiCampo told TIME in September last year. The meeting resulted in the creation of the [Everyday Everywhere project](http://everydayeverywhere.org/), which has the ambitious goal of changing “the way we see the world”. While 2014 saw the explosion in the number of Everyday feeds on Instagram, 2015 could be a make-or-break year for many of them. The original purpose of Everyday Africa was to combat the stereotypical imagery that emerged from the continent. There are other places that could benefit from a similar approach, but only the most rigorous of practitioners – with well thought-out plans – will be able to sustain their followers’ interest in the long-run. The risk is that the multiplication of such feeds – Everyday Climate Change launched on Jan. 1 with a staggering number of participating photographers – will dilute their importance, bringing to an end one of the most interesting photographic experiments we’ve seen in years.

The collection of crosses is accompanied by a large sign showing the count of American soldiers killed in Afghanistan and Iraq. This weekend the number read: 6837 On a flyer from the site, I found a quote by Mary Tillman, mother of Corp. Patrick Tillman who was killed in Afghanistan, the most moving - “These crosses behind us, in their primitive form which I think is actually very appropriate, could be soldiers from any time. But they represent contemporary soldiers that all wanted to serve.... Unfortunately our soldiers, once they enlist, once the tide turns, once the situation is not what they thought, is not what we thought, they – unlike us – lose their voices. We then become their voices." Photo by @balazsgardi Balazs Gardi  everydayusa The Geography of Poverty - Homeless camp, Stockton, CA. Stockton is a city in San Joaquin County, California. The population was 291,707 at the 2010 census. Residents have a $19,906 per capita income and 24.3% live below the poverty level. In June, 2012, the City of Stockton filed for bankruptcy , which at the time made it the largest US city to have sought protection from creditors. That same year, the city had 71 murders, giving it the nation's highest per capita homicide rate. #geographyofpoverty 36°12'28"N 119°20'49"W @mattblack\_blackmatt Matt Black  everydayusa Fall reflections in NYC… @markpetersonpixs -@reduxpictures Mark Peterson  everydayusa At first glance I thought it was a real bear. @malinfezehai Malin Fezehai  everydaydprk North Korean children practice for a performance at the Kaesong Schoolchildren's Palace.

You won't find drunk backpackers here and it remains relatively free of the prostitution and sex clubs - at least openly - that Bangkok has long been famous for but that really only represent small sections of an otherwise interesting and fascinating city.
