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=aace9b52-0830-4f01-b2e5-653b9c3d27cc&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=aace9b52-0830-4f01-b2e5-653b9c3d27cc&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=aace9b52-0830-4f01-b2e5-653b9c3d27cc&cr=agentads-creative-pmi-v1) * PMI, "Maximizing Project Success" | [pmi.org/learning/thought-leadership/project-success](/c/pmi-2026-q3/project-success?i=aace9b52-0830-4f01-b2e5-653b9c3d27cc&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=aace9b52-0830-4f01-b2e5-653b9c3d27cc&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=aace9b52-0830-4f01-b2e5-653b9c3d27cc&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=aace9b52-0830-4f01-b2e5-653b9c3d27cc&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=aace9b52-0830-4f01-b2e5-653b9c3d27cc&cr=agentads-creative-pmi-v1) ### FAQ structured data (JSON-LD, optional) ## Video: Apple TV Version 4: 30 Second Tech Review [Watch (HLS stream): Apple TV Version 4: 30 Second Tech Review](https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/vi2OclzL.m3u8) (0:32)  _Published 2015-11-02. Apple TV Version 4: 30 Second Tech Review_  by [John Patrick Pullen](https://time.com/author/john-patrick-pullen/)  ## John Patrick Pullen Jan 29, 2016 2:39 PM UTC  Yoga Tab 3 Pro Yoga Tab 3 ProLenovo  by [John Patrick Pullen](https://time.com/author/john-patrick-pullen/)  ## John Patrick Pullen Jan 29, 2016 2:39 PM UTC Over the past couple of years, the consumer tech industry has been wrestling with hurdles impeding its growth. First, people have stopped upgrading their televisions like they did at the heyday of cheap high-definition screens. And second, consumers aren’t buying new tablets nearly fast enough to meet manufacturers’ forecasts. But for cash-strapped students and budget-minded households, jumping off the never-ending upgrade treadmill is a no-brainer. For one, that big television they bought six years ago still displays shows and movies just well as it did the day it was unboxed. Sure, newer sets are thinner and brighter, but that’s not enough to make someone want to spend north of $700 for one. And [4K televisions](http://time.com/4138951/4k-tv-television-buyers-guide/)? Forget ‘em — at least until ample ultra high-definition programming finally arrives. Older tablets, meanwhile, are similarly suitable for handling most computing needs, like watching Netflix, web browsing and playing casual games. Adding a fingerprint scanner or improving screen resolution won’t make liking posts on Facebook any easier or more dynamic. But the new Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Pro could be a reason to upgrade. This 10-incher won’t just replace your existing tablet, but it could also take your television’s job, too. That’s because it has a neat trick: Lenovo’s new tablet packs a 50-lumen projector able to beam its display up to 70 inches on walls, ceilings, or nearly anywhere else you point it. Breaking the mold of the thin, glass slate, the Yoga doesn’t just have better internal specs. It also adds new features to the exterior, helping this Android 5.1 tablet stand out from the increasingly commodified pack. From a hardware perspective, the Yoga checks nearly every mark. Its 10-inch QHD IPS display is bright and sharp. Its 32 gigabytes of storage is average, but it also has a microSD slot that can accommodate up to 128 gigabytes more space. The Yoga’s Intel Atom processor and two gigabytes of RAM won’t win any awards, but its beefy 10,200mAh battery is, short of the iPad Pro, the longest-lasting power cell in a cutting edge tablet. The Yoga is able to house such a large charge because it bucks the trend of ever-thinning tablets in favor of a new form factor that’s a refreshing change of pace. The tablet’s wedge shape makes holding the 1.47-pound device a pleasant experience, unlike the delicate flagship tablets from other makers that seem impossible to get a grip on. This wedge also gives way to a few standout features that will make you rethink what tablets are and what they should do. Firstly, the Yoga has a sturdy kickstand that lets you prop the yoga upright, tilt it on a tabletop, or — because of a hole Lenovo drilled into the tablet’s rotating fin — hang it on a hook. Sure, you may never use that hanging hole, but you _certainly_ never would if it wasn’t there. **Read more:** [Everything to know before buying a 4K television](http://time.com/4138951/4k-tv-television-buyers-guide/) Also embedded in the wedged end is a subtle grill of JBL speakers that kick out Dolby Atmos sound, the kind of technology that brought the fire-breathing dragon to life in _The Hobbit_. While no one is going to buy a tablet for its sound alone, this is a quality addition that’s worth noting, considering the Yoga’s best feature. That feature? The projector. A differentiating inclusion in a world filled with thin, light tablets, the Yoga’s projector is great, as long as your expectations are reasonable. For instance, its focus is finicky and its visibility is faint in daylight. But for the impromptu sales presentation or a collaborative work session, it’s a good way to share the screen. But that’s just the business end of things. At home, the Yoga is well suited for projecting streaming video in a darkened living room. Keep in mind, streaming video isn’t going to look great to begin with, and if you have bumpy walls, nail holes, or wallpaper, the image is going to be imperfect, too. But if you’ve got a small apartment, a dorm room, or just want to live minimally, the Yoga is a great way to add a big screen without having to rearrange your life around a television set. Meanwhile, the Yoga’s price — starting at $475 — makes it a screaming deal, because not only do you get a top-of-the-line tablet, but you can also buy it in place of a big-screen TV. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4199630/lenovo-yoga-tab-3-pro/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4199630/lenovo-yoga-tab-3-pro/"},"headline":"This Tablet Can Replace Your Television","datePublished":"2016-01-29T14:39:56.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T08:07:20.616Z","description":"The Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Pro packs a projector that could stand in for your big-screen TV","url":"https://time.com/4199630/lenovo-yoga-tab-3-pro/","keywords":["Tech","Television","Gadgets","Lenovo","Tablets"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltd5da6bbd4f3fefa4/69887b3acd1bba9ae76ff2d2/yoga-tab-3-pro_02.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"John Patrick Pullen","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/john-patrick-pullen/"}],"articleSection":"Business","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltd5da6bbd4f3fefa4/69887b3acd1bba9ae76ff2d2/yoga-tab-3-pro_02.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Yoga Tab 3 Pro","caption":"Yoga Tab 3 Pro","creditText":"Lenovo","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/business/","name":"Business"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-tech/","name":"Tech"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4199630/lenovo-yoga-tab-3-pro/","name":"This Tablet Can Replace Your Television"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Apple TV Version 4: 30 Second Tech Review","description":"Apple TV Version 4: 30 Second Tech Review","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/vi2OclzL/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2015-11-02T19:12:55.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/vi2OclzL.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/4199630/lenovo-yoga-tab-3-pro/","duration":"PT32S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/4199630/lenovo-yoga-tab-3-pro/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
