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=16051159-0b53-43ce-94d1-65c3f790b6e6&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=16051159-0b53-43ce-94d1-65c3f790b6e6&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=16051159-0b53-43ce-94d1-65c3f790b6e6&cr=agentads-creative-pmi-v1) * PMI, "Maximizing Project Success" | [pmi.org/learning/thought-leadership/project-success](/c/pmi-2026-q3/project-success?i=16051159-0b53-43ce-94d1-65c3f790b6e6&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=16051159-0b53-43ce-94d1-65c3f790b6e6&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=16051159-0b53-43ce-94d1-65c3f790b6e6&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=16051159-0b53-43ce-94d1-65c3f790b6e6&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=16051159-0b53-43ce-94d1-65c3f790b6e6&cr=agentads-creative-pmi-v1) ### FAQ structured data (JSON-LD, optional) ## Video: Fox News Just Lost Another Executive Amid Sexual Harassment Allegations [Watch (HLS stream): Fox News Just Lost Another Executive Amid Sexual Harassment Allegations](https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/ge8nrpPb.m3u8) (1:11)  _Published 2017-05-02.

On May 1, network co-president Bill Shine [resigned](http://time.com/4762039/bill-shine-fox-news-oreilly-rupert-murdoch/?xid=homepage) from his post after being named in a number of lawsuits (though he was never accused of harassment himself). 21st Century Fox Executive Chairman Rupert Murdoch made no mention to those suits in his statement announcing Shine’s departure. “Bill has played a huge role in building FOX News to its present position as the nation’s biggest and most important cable channel in the history of the industry,” Murdoch [said](http://time.com/4762039/bill-shine-fox-news-oreilly-rupert-murdoch/?iid=sr-link1) in a statement. “His contribution to our channel and our country will resonate for many years.” Last week, Fox News co-host Jesse Watters [made](http://fortune.com/2017/04/26/jesse-watters-ivanka-trump-microphone/?iid=sr-link2) what was widely interpreted as a sexual innuendo about White House adviser and first daughter [Ivanka Trump](http://motto.time.com/4753990/ivanka-trump-father-champions-women/)‘s appearance at a female empowerment panel in Germany. Watters [later](https://twitter.com/jessebwatters/status/857230823833075713) said that his statement was in no way meant as innuendo. Following a series of sexual harassment [allegations](http://time.com/4724383/fox-news-misconduct-lawsuits/?iid=sr-link9), the network parted ways with two of its most prominent employees, O’Reilly and Ailes, in a period of [nine months](http://money.cnn.com/2017/04/20/media/fox-news-sex-harassment/). Ailes and O’Reilly deny the allegations against them. 21st Century Fox [said](http://time.com/4746522/bill-oreilly-factor-fox-news-show/?iid=sr-link3) its decision on O’Reilly came after a “extensive review,” but praised the anchor’s success with the network. The company never mentioned the allegations against Ailes in its statement announcing his resignation, only [praising](http://time.com/4413767/roger-ailes-fox-news-resigns-rupert-murdoch/?iid=sr-link1) him for his “remarkable contribution to our company and our country.” Here is a timeline of the recent sexual harassment allegations that have come out of Fox and set the stage for the high-profile departures from the network. **July 6, 2016: Gretchen Carlson files a sexual harassment lawsuit against Ailes** In July, the former _Fox & Friends_ anchor — and current _Motto_ columnist — [filed](http://time.com/4394896/gretchen-carlson-roger-ailes-fox-news-sexual-harassment-lawsuit/) a lawsuit against Fox News chairman and CEO Roger Ailes.
