### 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.

Twitter, the still popular but financially challenged microblogging service, could be acquired. But questions abound over whether (and how) that could actually happen.

Noted venture capitalist Marc Andreessen and private equity investor Silver Lake have considered acquiring at least part of Twitter, tech news site _The Information_ has [reported](https://www.theinformation.com/whats-up-at-twitter), citing unidentified sources. The news outlet admitted that it’s unsure whether “anything is active” and that the sources are unclear if the investors and Twitter are even holding discussions.

However, _Fortune_ has since learned that Silver Lake has no interest in acquiring even a slice of Twitter, according to a source familiar with the matter.

_The Information_ noted that the investors may consider a deal that would see Twitter issue new shares that investors would buy.

The rumor, while tepid, at best, has done enough to invigorate increasingly concerned Twitter investors. In mid-day trading, the company’s shares were up over 8% to $18.19\. The company’s market valuation has been pushed to $11.4 billion.

Twitter, which has more than 320 million users worldwide, has watched as competing social media service leap over it in just the last few years. Growth has largely stagnated, top executives have [left the company](http://fortune.com/2015/06/11/twitter-costolo-dorsey/), and now CEO Jack Dorsey is left trying to fix a ship that is springing leaks.

All the while, Twitter has had an exceedingly difficult time improving its finances. While the company’s revenue has grown over the last several years—revenue exceeded $569 million in the third quarter, up from $361.3 million in the same quarter in 2014—profits have stayed beyond its grasp. In the third quarter, alone, Twitter lost nearly $132 million.

Investors have taken notice. In the last year, its shares have fallen over 51%, and are far below their $26 price at the time of the company’s initial public offering in Nov. 2013.

For their part, Dorsey and his executive team haven’t shied away from Twitter’s troubles. The company is currently considering [expanding](http://recode.net/2016/01/05/twitter-ceo-jack-dorsey-shows-users-why-10000-character-tweets-arent-so-crazy/) the service’s character limit from 140 to 10,000 in an attempt to attract more users. Twitter also recently [hired](http://www.adweek.com/news/technology/twitter-hires-former-amex-exec-leslie-berland-its-new-cmo-169206) a new chief marketing officer, Leslie Berland, to help it achieve some of that long-sought-after growth in advertising revenue shareholders have been clamoring for.

Wedbush Securities analyst Michael Pachter believes those efforts just aren’t enough. In an interview with _Fortune_, he said that Twitter isn’t doing “anything” to overcome the company’s two basic challenges: adding users and rapidly growing its revenue to eventually post a profit.

“The biggest challenge is to get non-users to try the service,” he says. “Of course they _can_ overcome this challenge, but they aren’t doing anything to address it at present, as far as I can see. They need to change their outlook and strategy in order to reinvigorate growth, and they seem focused on status quo and on their current membership, rather than on attracting a broader audience.”


His comment is timely. Just last week, _Re/Code_ [reported](http://recode.net/2016/01/25/twitter-has-stopped-showing-ads-to-some-of-its-most-valuable-users/) that Twitter had stopped showing ads to so-called “VIP” members. The move, according to the tech news site, was designed to keep celebrities and other heavy users “engaged” with Twitter. The company is ostensibly concerned that if celebrities, especially, spend more of their time on Facebook’s Instagram, for instance, Twitter’s business could be significantly damaged.

Simply put, Twitter is facing a number of risks. The company, which is set to announce its fourth-quarter earnings on Feb. 10, is in rebuild mode and facing significant competition with no signs of a profit anytime soon. Meanwhile, investors are fleeing.

For months, rumors have been swirling that Twitter could be a potential acquisition target because of its depressed stock price, but still valuable userbase. Still, no companies have come forward with a public offer, despite claims that Google , Facebook, and even Microsoft, could be a suitable buyer (here’s [a handy list](http://fortune.com/2016/01/22/buying-twitter/) from _Fortune_ on the companies that could buy Twitter—and why they won’t).


So, why might Andreessen be interested in Twitter? For Pachter, who actively follows Twitter, it’s impossible to say.

“I don’t know what they see in it,” he says of Twitter. “It isn’t a big cash flow generator, and I don’t see their exit strategy.”

Pachter added that perhaps the investors are looking at Twitter as a possible complement to their current investment portfolio.

That said, there is some history between Andreessen and Twitter. The well-known venture capitalist was part of the company’s Series A investment round. He may want to get back in and help fix its issues.

For now, though, _The Information’s_ report and all other speculation about a possible Twitter buyout should be taken with caution. It’s unclear whether Twitter is holding any talks of an equity sale, and both it and Silver Lake declined to comment on the latest report.

Andreessen did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
