### 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.

Have a look at some of the biggest games for PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Wii U and the Nintendo 3DS due this spring.

### Quantum Break

You’ve come unstuck from time in this temporally twisted action game about a man grappling with the terrifying implications (but also tactical side benefits) of a botched time travel experiment. (Check out [our review of the game here](http://time.com/4273526/quantum-break-review/).)

PC, Xbox One

April 5

### Dark Souls III

After last year’s tryst with a PlayStation-exclusive (_Bloodborne_), studio From Software returns to its multi-platform _Souls_ series roots for what’s either the fourth (counting _Demon’s Souls_) or fifth (counting _Bloodborne_) in a sequence of closely related, brutally exacting action games.

PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One

April 12

### Ratchet & Clank

A reboot of studio Insomniac Games’ buddy platformer about a Lombax (think bipedal cat) and his robot pal Clank battling intergalactic scoundrels, timed to celebrate the forthcoming film.

PlayStation 4

April 12

### Bravely Second: End Layer

In the crowded, novelty bereft roleplaying genre, _Bravely First_‘s unusual borrow-or-save battle system stood out, so sequel _Bravely Second_ keeps all of that and carries on the story.

3DS

April 15

### Koi


The first China-developed video game for PlayStation 4, _Koi_ looks a bit like _Flow_, or maybe the opening stage in _Spore_. You play as a fish in a polluted lotus pond, solving puzzles and collecting bits and bobs to remove the taint and restore harmony.

PlayStation 4

April 19

### Pollen

It’s an alt-history sci-fi game (designed from the ground up for virtual reality) where Kennedy was never assassinated and NASA and Russia established a permanent moon base before expanding to the outer reaches of our solar system. In Mindfield’s _Pollen_, you explore the Saturnian satellite Titan, sleuthing for clues and solving puzzles to learn what hides beneath the moon’s surface.


PC

April 20

### Battlefleet Gothic: Armada

Fling capital ships the size of star destroyers at your foes in this epic-scale real-time strategy game staged in Games Workshop’s indefatigable _Warhammer 40,000_ universe.

PC

April 21

### Star Fox Zero

Delayed from last November for some extra polish, the newest installment in Nintendo’s longstanding space shooter about a squadron of chatty anthropomorphic animals has to win over Wii U GamePad skeptics nervous that having to fiddle with a second screen while pulling off precision maneuvers might be too much to juggle.


Wii U

April 22

### Offworld Trading Company

Developer Soren Johnson is probably best known for his design contributions to some of the most acclaimed _Civilization_ games, and of late he’s been chipping away at this much-praised (based on early access betas) economic real-time strategy game, where “money, not firepower, is the player’s weapon.”

PC

April 28

### Battleborn


Space fantasy _Battleborn_ is mostly a team-based first-person shooter, but with smaller groups (five versus five) and goals tied to map control logistics that might see a match swing back and forth repeatedly.

PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One

May 3

### Stellaris

Imagine all the crazy complexity of studio Paradox’s grand strategic history simulations extrapolated to the farthest reaches of space and you get _Stellaris_, a mind-bogglingly vast game of space exploration and empire management.

PC

May 9

### Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End


_Uncharted_ fans get one last chance to play as (and say farewell to) series protagonist Nathan Drake, in the fourth and final chapter in studio Naughty Dog’s acclaimed treasure-hunting series.

PlayStation 4

May 10

### Doom

This reboot of id Software’s formative shooter welcomes us back to Mars by way of fiery foundry levels, long, steaming corridors garnished with hellfire, demons and screams, and all the evisceration-slash-spatter fans of horror-themed run-and-gunning adore.

PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One

May 13

### Homefront: The Revolution


The sequel to 2011 first-person shooter _Homefront_, which imagined what might happen if a unified Korea invaded the Western U.S., takes place four years later (in 2029) as you struggle to retake an open-world version of Philadelphia from the Greater Korean Republic.

PC, Mac, Linux, PlayStation 4, Xbox One

May 17

### Valkyria Chronicles Remastered

If you missed this fantastic World War II-era turn-based tactics game when it landed on PlayStation 3 back in 2008, this is your chance to make amends by way of beautifully remastered, high fidelity visuals.

PlayStation 4

May 17

### Mirror’s Edge Catalyst


_Mirror’s Edge Catalyst_ reboots EA DICE’s 2008 first-person parkour game, dealing with why original protagonist Faith became a surveillance-evading “runner,” delivering messages under the nose of her city’s dystopian overlords by zipping acrobatically (but surreptitiously) across urban skylines.

PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One

May 24

### Overwatch

Blizzard’s latest idea lets teams of six players shoot it out in a kind of post-_Terminator_ scenario, where our evil robot overlords have been defeated by a global peacekeeping force, but where the force’s remnants have apparently become factionalized.

PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One


May 24

### Total War: Warhammer

Does a franchise feel better suited to adaptation for Creative Assembly’s 16-year-old _Total War_ real-time tactical series than Games Workshop’s celebrated _Warhammer_ fantasy-verse?

PC

May 24

### Hearts of Iron IV

What might’ve happened had Japan opened up a second front when the Germans invaded Russia? What if Germany had acquired a nuclear bomb first? What if the Allied invasion of Normandy in 1944 had failed? Paradox’s newest all-around improved version in its series of award-winning World War 2 grand strategy games promises to let you find out.


PC

June 6

### Kirby: Planet Robobot

Leap between foreground and background as Nintendo’s pink puffball Kirby in the second full Kirby game for Nintendo’s handheld system, this time using the coopting the robotic technology of your foes to use against them.

Nintendo 3DS
