### 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.

Put one in the win column for Samsung.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit on Friday ruled ([PDF](http://www.cafc.uscourts.gov/sites/default/files/opinions-orders/15-1171.Opinion.2-24-2016.1.PDF)) in favor of Samsung in a long-fought patent battle with Apple. The court’s ruling means Samsung will not be required to pay $120 million in patent-infringement damages, nor will it need to alter any product designs, dealing a blow to Apple’s argument that Samsung has “slavishly” stolen its intellectual property.

In its ruling, the U.S. Court of Appeals said that Samsung did not in fact violate patents Apple holds related to turning alphanumeric characters, such as phone numbers, into links, as well as the iPhone’s slide-to-unlock feature. The court also reversed an earlier jury decision that Samsung violated an Apple patent on auto-correction.

The court was particularly scathing in its comments about Apple’s patents, calling them “obvious”—a term used to describe technologies that are not deserving of patents. The court added that Apple’s slide-to-unlock and auto-correct patents are “invalid.”

Apple and Samsung have been battling over patents since 2011\. Both companies have said that the other has violated patents they own related to mobile technology and design. As the patent-infringement cases extended across the U.S. and Europe, neither Apple nor Samsung won a significant case until 2012, when Apple won a landmark ruling in California that awarded the company more than $1 billion in damages.

Since then, the companies decided to scuttle their international disputes and focus solely on the U.S., but the patent-infringement cases have continued to fly. Over the last couple of years, a series of appeals, rulings, and trials [whittled down Apple’s $1 billion in damages](http://fortune.com/2015/12/04/samsung-pay-apple-patents/) to $548 million. Samsung has appealed that case to the U.S. Supreme Court in hopes of ultimately dealing a final blow and retrieving its cash from Apple, which is currently holding it until the Supreme Court decides whether to hear the case.

The case in question on Friday is the other big battle between Apple and Samsung. Like the other case, Apple and Samsung sued each other over alleged patent infringement across a slew of mobile devices. Apple had initially sought $2 billion on the patents cited in the case, but was awarded just $120 million by a jury in 2014.

At that time, the jury also awarded Samsung over $158,000 for Apple’s alleged infringement of a patent related to the way photos and videos are organized in folders. Interestingly, the U.S. Court of Appeals sided with the jury on Friday, meaning Samsung will still be able to collect that small sum of cash if Apple doesn’t appeal the ruling.


Samsung argument in the case centered on the idea that Apple’s patents are invalid and obvious, and should not be a legitimate means by which the company could collect damages. The court’s agreement calls into question the validity of Apple’s patents and whether the company could (and should) hold patents related to so-called “obvious” technologies like slide-to-unlock—a software mechanism that allows users to unlock their smartphones.

Given that, it’s possible the issue could ultimately find its way to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), which awarded the patents to Apple. The USPTO has reviewed the legitimacy and validity of Apple patents in the past, most recently examining whether the so-called ‘915 patent, which describes how the pinch-to-zoom feature works on touch devices, is “patentable.” The USPTO has on separate occasions determined that the ‘915 patent should not have been awarded, forcing Apple to file an appeal last year to the Federal Circuit in hopes of keeping its patent and the damages associated with it.


With the latest ruling now in, Apple has effectively lost $120 million in damages it would have otherwise received from Samsung and will now need to pay out a little over $158,000\. The company can either accept the ruling or appeal it, though it hasn’t said what its next move will be.

An Apple spokesperson declined to comment on the ruling.

In addition to Samsung, several industry giants, including Google, Facebook, and eBay, may be pleased by today’s ruling. In July, those companies, along with others in the industry, filed a brief with the Federal Circuit Court supporting Samsung’s fight with Apple. The companies argued that if Apple’s victories are allowed to stand, it could unleash a series of subsequent patent lawsuits utilizing the same intellectual property to target other device makers. Those lawsuits, the coalition said, would negatively affect the development of “useful modern technologies” and “have a devastating impact on companies.”


Samsung did not respond to a request for comment.
