### 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.

It’s official: The FBI won’t hand over to Apple how it cracked the iPhone 5c used by San Bernardino attacker Syed Farook.

In a statement on Wednesday, the FBI’s Amy Hess, executive assistant director for science and technology, said that the agency considered whether to submit the crack to the Vulnerabilities Equities Process (VEP), an interagency process that determines whether a government agency should let a software or hardware vendor know about a vulnerability, but ultimately decided against it.

“The FBI assesses that it cannot submit the method to the VEP,” Hess said in a statement. “The FBI purchased the method from an outside party so that we could unlock the San Bernardino device. We did not, however, purchase the rights to technical details about how the method functions, or the nature and extent of any vulnerability upon which the method may rely in order to operate. As a result, currently we do not have enough technical information about any vulnerability that would permit any meaningful review under the VEP process.”

In essence, the FBI has determined that until it understands more about the technical function that allowed it to crack Farook’s iPhone, it can’t provide insight into the vulnerability to Apple.

“The VEP is a disciplined, rigorous and high-level interagency decision-making process for vulnerability disclosure that helps to ensure that all of the pros and cons of disclosing or not disclosing a vulnerability are properly considered and weighed,” Hess said. “By necessity, that process requires significant technical insight into a vulnerability. The VEP cannot perform its function without sufficient detail about the nature and extent of a vulnerability.”

The FBI’s decision comes a day after a report surfaced, saying that the FBI would not disclose how it cracked Farook’s iPhone. _The Wall Street Journal_ reported yesterday, citing sources, that providing the tool to the VEP would be fruitless, since the [FBI itself doesn’t really know how the hack works](http://fortune.com/2016/04/26/fbi-iphone-hack-secret/) and why it was able it unlock the iPhone 5c without Apple’s help.

The move comes amid controversy over whether Apple should be notified about the hack. For a period of approximately two months between the tragic shooting in December and when the Justice Department filed a request with a U.S. magistrate judge requesting Apple help the FBI unlock Farook’s iPhone, no one in the U.S. government was able to find a way in. Apple was compelled by the judge to build software that would ultimately allow the FBI to access the device. Apple declined the request and vowed to go to the U.S. Supreme Court to support digital rights, if required.


However, in March, the FBI said that it had obtained a tool from an unidentified third party that allowed it access to the device. The Justice Department subsequently dropped its case against Apple, leaving everyone wondering how it cracked the device without Apple’s help.

Since then, reports have been flying fast and furious about the tool used to crack the device. FBI Director James Comey last week revealed that the agency paid “a lot” for the tool, adding that it [paid more than $1.34 million](http://fortune.com/2016/04/21/fbi-paid-crack-san-bernardino-iphone/).

However, according to Comey, the tool is limited in its ability and can only unlock an iPhone 5c, like the one used by Farook.

“This doesn’t work on \[an iPhone\] 6s, doesn’t work in a 5s, and so we have a tool that works on a narrow slice of phones,” Comey [said](http://livestream.com/accounts/7106882/Comey) during a question-and-answer session with students and professors at Ohio’s Kenyon College earlier this month.

Comey’s comments at the college also spawned debate over whether the FBI would (and should) provide information about the vulnerability to Apple. In his comments at the school, Comey signaled that while he was debating the issue, he might not be so willing to play ball.


“We tell Apple, then they’re going to fix it, then we’re back where we started from,” [he said](http://fortune.com/2016/04/07/fbi-iphone-comey/). “We may end up there, we just haven’t decided yet.”

The issue of whether the government should provide details on a vulnerability to a company is one that has been debated between law enforcement and digital rights activists for years. Digital rights activists, like the Electronic Frontier Foundation, have [argued](https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2015/11/its-no-secret-government-uses-zero-days-offense) that the U.S. government must provide details on a vulnerability, since allowing an exploit to live in the wild could put users at undue risk. The government’s VEP, however, is used to determine whether disclosing vulnerabilities could ultimately hurt its law enforcement efforts.

And at least for now, VEP won’t get a chance to make a determination on Farook’s iPhone.

Apple did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
