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=d128b115-1c30-4e99-b111-fbd68c0f9998&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=d128b115-1c30-4e99-b111-fbd68c0f9998&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=d128b115-1c30-4e99-b111-fbd68c0f9998&cr=agentads-creative-pmi-v1) * PMI, "Maximizing Project Success" | [pmi.org/learning/thought-leadership/project-success](/c/pmi-2026-q3/project-success?i=d128b115-1c30-4e99-b111-fbd68c0f9998&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=d128b115-1c30-4e99-b111-fbd68c0f9998&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=d128b115-1c30-4e99-b111-fbd68c0f9998&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=d128b115-1c30-4e99-b111-fbd68c0f9998&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=d128b115-1c30-4e99-b111-fbd68c0f9998&cr=agentads-creative-pmi-v1) ### FAQ structured data (JSON-LD, optional) by [TIME Staff](https://time.com/author/time-staff/) ## TIME Staff Mar 19, 2015 10:17 AM UTC by [TIME Staff](https://time.com/author/time-staff/) ## TIME Staff Mar 19, 2015 10:17 AM UTC HILLARY CLINTON “Is she Teflon Hillary?” asked Fox News’ Eric Bolling in a discussion of David Von Drehle’s widely covered March 23 story on Clinton’s prospects in the wake of controversy surrounding her private email use. The story sparked hundreds of letters and comments and also lively chatter on Twitter, where self-described “conservative” reader John Sykes called it a “major indictment.” Supporters of the Democratic front runner, like reader Susan McDonnell, also praised the piece. “I was insulted by Clinton’s disingenuous arguments for circumventing federal records regulations,” she wrote. Added Charles Evans of Mayfield, Ky.: “The article confirms, in my opinion at least, that we need some new faces in office be it Democrat or Republican.” Others were struck more by Clinton’s fumbled response than by the mistakes regarding her email use (which many viewed as business as usual in politics). “Bill Clinton could have walked into that presser and convinced us all to somehow have empathy for him,” said Jedidiah Bila on Fox’s The Five. “She’s not good at this. Whoever coached her on that appearance should be fired.” Many also questioned whether Clinton was being targeted unfairly. “Hillary’s deep intellect and steadfast commitment to public service are the yardsticks by which she should be judged,” wrote Karen Pierce, a neuroscience professor at the University of California at San Diego. Added K. Abel of San Jose, Calif.: “The ‘experts’ stating that querying on emails is ‘haphazard’ and that all 62K mails should be gone through manually, really ought to step into the 21st century.” And some took issue with the cover itself. TIME’s previous cover featured the “Bush men, outside in the daylight looking handsome, young, and casual,” wrote Ellen Hayes of Colchester, Vt. “This week I see Hillary looking downward in silhouette, with a dark background.” That sentiment was amplified on social media, on which some people said they saw horns appearing to rise from Clinton’s head. TIME’s response–that more than 30 cover subjects have had similar placement under the M in TIME’s logo, as seen at time.com/horncovers–did not convince Elizabeth Lake of Ludowici, Ga., who wrote, “So who gets to wear the not-so-subliminal halo in the next cover shoot?” CLUTTER CHAOS Josh Sanburn’s feature on the rise of clutter in American homes prompted some inward reflection. “The retailing industry has successfully redirected the perception of self-esteem from our accomplishments to our possessions,” lamented Steven Artigas of Westerly, R.I. Added Brian Fallon: “Great, the first thing I did after reading the article on clutter is to order another book: The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up.” And what about the effect of so much stuff on the environment? asked Carole Cernuto of Canoga Park, Calif. “Owning 100 pairs of shoes is an obscenity,” she wrote. THE STILL THRIVING AMERICAN CENTURY For a Commentary essay, Bryan Walsh interviewed Harvard political scientist Joseph Nye, who believes the U.S. is and will remain geopolitically dominant as long as it stays open to immigrants and political difference. That view is “dangerously misleading–particularly in the realm of military affairs,” wrote John Arquilla, professor and chair of defense analysis at the U.S. Naval Postgraduate School. Citing the “small, smart weapons” and stealthier techniques used by China and other superpowers, Arquilla added, “Until energized by fresh operating concepts, they will run up costs and casualties until the American public steps in and says, ‘Enough!'” GIVING UP CABLE Joel Stein’s column about dropping his cable-TV company struck a powerful chord. “I laughed and laughed. I have sooo been there,” wrote Doris Cundiff of Portage, Ind. “Whatever you are paying Joel Stein,” suggested Martha Foster of Norman, Okla., “double it.” STRONG CINDERELLAS Fans had one objection to a sidebar on “the women who kept the fairy-tale femme relevant” in Richard Corliss’s review of Disney’s Cinderella: omitting Lesley Ann Warren’s portrayal in the 1965 TV version. “How could you?” asked Allyn Simon. Warren is “the single most important Cinderella,” wrote Tony Seger of Southfield, Mich., adding, “Thank you for the opportunity to be 9 again.” YOU ASKED Our TIME.com series has expanded from health to technology (including recent topics below).

This will cut your iPhone off from wireless Internet service–meaning you’ll be without access to email or iMessage–but you’ll still be able to make calls and send and receive regular SMS texts. 2 Go into airplane mode. This will disable all communications while cutting down dramatically on battery usage. (You should also do this when you don’t have service for a while, say, in a subway tunnel.) 3 Lower your brightness. That’ll make your iPhone harder to read, but powering a bright screen eats up a whole lot of your iPhone’s battery power. What is Yik Yak? 1 Currently used at 1,500 college campuses, Yik Yak is a fast-growing mobile social network that allows users to write text posts–called yaks–entirely anonymously. 2 Like Facebook, it was designed for college students: the app is geofenced to prevent use outside the range. Users vote up or down on posts, comment and create conversation threads. 3 Yik Yak has its detractors because of potential snags its founders are working to address. Among them are cyberbullying and use of the app by kids in high school. How Does 3-D Printing Work? 1 Engineer Chuck Hull invented 3-D printing in 1983 using UV lights to form shapes out of resin. As with 2-D printing, a digital file is created and submitted to a device and the product is output; it may require some finishing touches when done. 2 Stereolithography (SLA) machines, the first iteration of 3-D printing, are used commercially–and can take days to print. The more consumer-friendly method involves melting plastic layer by layer. 3 Edible-printing technology, which can print peanut butter and cheese using organic compounds, wowed at this year’s Consumer Electronics Show. Up next in edibles: chocolate creations. LIGHTBOX It’s rare to get a glimpse inside North Korea, especially if you’re a photojournalist. That’s what makes Eddo Hartmann’s access so remarkable; the Dutchman was able to snap dozens of pictures of Pyongyang’s supersize statues and grandiose city squares. See more on lightbox.time.com.
