### 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.

The [2015 Paris Photo-Aperture Foundation PhotoBook Awards](http://www.aperture.org/photobookawards/) winners were announced in Paris, with Daniel Mayrit receiving the $10,000 top prize for First PhotoBook. Other winners included Diane Dufour and Xavier Barral, Thomas Mailaender and Will Steacy. 

Launched in 2012, the international photography contest celebrates “the book’s contribution to the evolving narrative of photography,” according to their [website](http://www.aperture.org/photobookawards/). 

Daniel Mayrit’s [_You Haven’t Seen Their Faces_](http://riot-books.com/product/you-havent-seen-their-faces) explores the restrictions of digital imagery in light of the 2011 London Riots, after which Metropolitan Police delivered leaflets with photographs of youngsters who were presumed guilty of taking part in the events on little grounds. Through photos that resemble security images of political powerhouses—from London Mayor Boris Johnson to Aberdeen Asset Management CEO Martin Gilbert—Mayrit reminds us that the photo doesn’t always tell all. “We could not possibly know if the youngsters portrayed by the police were actually criminals,” he says on his [website](http://www.danielmayrit.com/). “We cannot assume either that the individuals here featured are all involved in the ongoing financial scandals….but aren’t they?”

One of the jury members, Fraenkel Gallery president Frish Brandt says surveillance is part of the ongoing conversation regarding the ubiquity of the camera today. “There is a compelling tension in this project that causes one to page through the book with increasing questions and diminishing answers.” 

Diane Dufour and Xavier Barral’s [_Images of Conviction: The Construction of Visual Evidence_](http://www.amazon.com/Images-Conviction-Construction-Visual-Evidence/dp/2365110835) looks at how the photography has served as evidence of a crime for more than 150 years. The book examines 11 cases, from the famous Shroud of Turin images to the Nuremberg trial evidence to cell phone shots of drone strikes in Afghanistan. The book was selected for this year’s Photography Catalogue of the Year for “its autonomy in relation to the exhibition,” says jury member Christophe Boutin, co-founder of onestar press. “This book is an instant classic—well-done, with outstanding material.”

PhotoBook of the Year was awarded to Thomas Mailaender’s [_Illustrated People_](http://www.rvb-books.com/book.php?id%5Fbook=77)for photographing 23 models while projecting a UV lamp over them followed by a shot of each model before the image disappeared in the sun, revealing a fleeting image on the skin’s surface. Combined with photographic documents from the AMC’s collection, the book offers a stunning perspective on the human form through the combination of art and photography. 

Will Steacy’s [_Deadline_](http://willsteacy.com/projects/deadline/) delves into the challenges and realities faced by the newspaper industry today, through a close examination of the newsroom and printing plant of The Philadelphia Inquirer. “Without the human investment to provide news content it becomes a zero sum game on the information highway to nowhere,” he says on his [website](http://willsteacy.com/projects/deadline/). “The fibers of the paper and the clicks of the mouse are worthless unless the words they are presented on have value.”

The awards were announced by [Paris Photo](http://www.parisphoto.com/) and the [Aperture Foundation](http://aperture.org/). After reviewing thousands of entries, the jury announced in September 35 books selected for the shortlist. This year’s winners were selected by Fraenkel Gallery president Frish Brandt; cofounder of onestar press Christophe Boutin; Centre Pompidou photography curator Clément Chéroux; author and editor Donatien Grau; as well as Enea Righi Collection curator Lorenzo Paini.

The 35 shortlisted books are currently on display at [Paris Photo](http://www.parisphoto.com/paris) until Nov. 15\. they will then tour to Aperture Gallery in New York from Dec. 12 to Feb. 8, and then on to Tokyo and other venues. The work will also be featured in the Fall 2015 issue of The PhotoBook Review and exhibited at [Paris Photo](http://www.parisphoto.com/paris).
