### 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.

With [277 million users and counting](http://blog.linkedin.com/2014/02/19/the-definitive-professional-publishing-platform/), LinkedIn has become the definitive business networking site. If you’re just using the site as a place to keep your resume online, however, then you’re missing out on some great opportunities.

Here’s a look at ways you can make LinkedIn a more valuable tool for keeping in touch with your network and getting recruiters to come to you.

### Follow your favorite “Influencers” in Pulse.

You may not have been paying attention, but LinkedIn has been [churning out original content](http://tech.fortune.cnn.com/2014/02/26/linkedin-walks-like-a-publisher-and-talks-like-a-publisher-but-is-it/) from thought leaders around the world. The site’s [Pulse](http://www.linkedin.com/today/?trk=tod3-top-nav) page collects posts from handpicked “Influencers” like [Richard Branson](http://www.linkedin.com/profile/view?id=204068115&authType=NAME%5FSEARCH&authToken=DTgs&locale=en%5FUS&srchid=1326014421393533155446&srchindex=1&srchtotal=70&trk=vsrp%5Fpeople%5Fres%5Fname&trkInfo=VSRPsearchId%3A1326014421393533155446%2CVSRPtargetId%3A204068115%2CVSRPcmpt%3Aprimary), [Martha Stewart](http://www.linkedin.com/profile/view?id=55527534&authType=NAME%5FSEARCH&authToken=DLbI&locale=en%5FUS&srchid=1326014421393533182608&srchindex=1&srchtotal=9566&trk=vsrp%5Fpeople%5Fres%5Fname&trkInfo=VSRPsearchId%3A1326014421393533182608%2CVSRPtargetId%3A55527534%2CVSRPcmpt%3Aprimary), and [Bill Gates](http://www.linkedin.com/profile/view?id=251749025&authType=NAME%5FSEARCH&authToken=4kpE&locale=en%5FUS&srchid=1326014421393533205080&srchindex=1&srchtotal=479&trk=vsrp%5Fpeople%5Fres%5Fname&trkInfo=VSRPsearchId%3A1326014421393533205080%2CVSRPtargetId%3A251749025%2CVSRPcmpt%3Aprimary). There are now about 500 Influencers from a wide variety of industries, and their stories are often collected in packages, like the recent “[Best Advice](https://www.linkedin.com/channels/best%5Fadvice?trk=prod-inf-bestadvice-0225-cutline)” collection.

You can choose to follow your favorites to have their posts appear in your updates feed, and check out Pulse to explore other motivational articles. The Influencers you follow appear on your profile, so not only will you get the latest insights from incredibly successful people, but it also shows recruiters your interests and aspirations.

### Share relevant articles with your network, and consider writing your own.

While Facebook and Twitter are great outlets for sharing lighthearted viral content with friends, LinkedIn is the place to share articles and videos relevant to your industry and business in general.

You can use your LinkedIn blog to add [a new level of personality and expertise to your page](http://www.washingtonpost.com/business/capitalbusiness/linkedin-has-added-a-publishing-platform-heres-why-that-matters/2014/02/28/c682392c-9fb3-11e3-a050-dc3322a94fa7%5Fstory.html). Share details about your new job, showcase a new project you’re working on, or share some professional insight that your network could learn from.

### Weed out connections that are no longer useful.

LinkedIn’s developers initially skipped a “block user” feature in an attempt to be a truly open networking site, but they finally gave in to users’ demands for one. If someone you don’t know is being pushy or you simply don’t want them to access your information anymore, you can go to that user’s page and select “Block or report” in the dropdown box next to the “Endorse” icon.

### Join groups to improve your visibility.

LinkedIn says that active group users get four times as many profile views as those who don’t use this resource. A good place to start is to join your alma mater’s official group and see what discussions are going on. And if you’re on a job hunt, it could be a good place to reach out to alumni.

### Use the “Relationship” tab to keep track of your contacts.

If you would like to add someone you don’t personally know, send them a personalized message explaining why you would like to connect and how sharing your business network can be beneficial. As your network grows, you can use the “Relationship” tab on a user’s page to remind yourself of details regarding your professional relationship (and only you will be able to see it).

### Endorse and recommend your connections.

Don’t forget to make use of endorsements and recommendations. It helps your connections build credibility and makes them more likely to return the favor. LinkedIn is also a perfect place to recommend colleagues with a brief anecdote, as well as ask for recommendations from previous employers. Don’t waste your time with generic compliments — the only recommendations that matter to recruiters on LinkedIn are specific and to the point.


### Tap into the job listings.

There’s an easy-to-use [job listings tool](http://www.linkedin.com/job/home?trk=nav%5Fresponsive%5Fsub%5Fnav%5Fjobs) that’s helpful if you are either looking for a job or looking for an employee. All of your searches are kept private, so feel free to browse the listings LinkedIn recommends for you based on information in your profile, search for keywords, and find opportunities within your networks.

### Use a professional headshot and a customized URL.

Multiple reports have shown that LinkedIn [pages with profile pictures get more views](http://www.businessinsider.com/14-linkedin-mistakes-2013-12#you-have-no-profile-picture-2) than those that don’t. Your photo should be clear, not include other people, and be appropriate for your industry. If you don’t have access to a professional headshot, use one where you look your best in proper business attire. Likewise, a customized URL will make you much easier to search, and it looks better than a jumble of numbers when you share your link.

### **Make your page easy to scan.**

The worst thing you can do is have your profile be one long list. Recruiters won’t bother learning about you if your page is a chore to read. Make sure you distribute your information across each of the sections LinkedIn offers, and arrange them in an order you consider most relevant to your industry and the job you’re seeking. For example, if you have experience in the non-profit sector, highlight it in “Volunteer Experience & Causes” rather than the main “Experience” list.


### Be sure to write a summary.

Finally, [don’t neglect the crucial “Summary” box](http://www.businessinsider.com/14-linkedin-mistakes-2013-12#you-havent-filled-out-the-summary-portion-of-your-page-9). Think of it as a first impression of your professional profile. It is also the perfect place for keywords that will enhance search engine optimization (SEO) benefits for your page.
