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=bd98d7d5-5497-4345-8a62-ffb77eb2b1a2&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=bd98d7d5-5497-4345-8a62-ffb77eb2b1a2&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=bd98d7d5-5497-4345-8a62-ffb77eb2b1a2&cr=agentads-creative-pmi-v1) * PMI, "Maximizing Project Success" | [pmi.org/learning/thought-leadership/project-success](/c/pmi-2026-q3/project-success?i=bd98d7d5-5497-4345-8a62-ffb77eb2b1a2&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=bd98d7d5-5497-4345-8a62-ffb77eb2b1a2&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=bd98d7d5-5497-4345-8a62-ffb77eb2b1a2&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=bd98d7d5-5497-4345-8a62-ffb77eb2b1a2&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=bd98d7d5-5497-4345-8a62-ffb77eb2b1a2&cr=agentads-creative-pmi-v1) ### FAQ structured data (JSON-LD, optional) ## Video: Apple Introduces Its Own Credit Card: Apple Card [Watch (HLS stream): Apple Introduces Its Own Credit Card: Apple Card](https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/XRGxrvL2.m3u8) (5:11)  _Published 2019-03-25.

(Photo by Michael Short/Getty Images)Michael Short—Getty Images by [Patrick Austin](https://time.com/author/patrick-lucas-austin/) ## Patrick Austin Mar 25, 2019 9:19 PM UTC Apple on Monday announced a trio of new subscription services — offering TV and movies, video games and news and magazines — as well as a new credit card. The move comes as the company, helmed by CEO Tim Cook, is trying to focus attention on — and grow — its services business amid a slowdown in iPhone growth, long the company’s main cash cow. As iPhone growth slows, Apple is hoping to gain ground by offering paid subscriptions to high-quality content. Those subscriptions, in turn, could help keep people tied to the larger Apple ecosystem, propping up iPhone sales and more. Here’s a look at the handful of services that Apple unveiled, including Apple TV+, Apple News+, Apple Arcade and the Apple Card. ## **Apple TV+** Apple’s long-awaited major move into original content comes in the form of Apple TV+, a streaming service that will have [exclusive shows, documentaries, and films](http://time.com/5558226/apple-streaming-service-tv-shows/) from creators like J.J. Abrams, Steven Spielberg, Octavia Spencer, and others. Billing it as “the new home for the world’s most creative storytellers,” the company says Apple TV+ will launch this fall for a still-unclear price. Apple is also adding new functionality to its existing Apple TV app called Apple TV Channels. The service, Apple says, will let users pay for the channels they want, rather than an entire suite of programming, as is typical of cable packages and other online TV offerings. Apple TV channels will have content from HBO, Starz, CBS and more. Apple did not announce pricing for Apple TV Channels, either. The company says it’s focusing on improving the curation process, while at the same time keeping your viewing habits private from advertisers. Apple TV Channels will be added to the Apple TV app in May, while it’s set to appear on Macs in the fall. An Apple TV app is also coming to smart TV sets from companies like Samsung, LG, Sony and Vizio, as well as streaming media devices from Roku and Amazon, Apple says. That means you won’t need an Apple device to sign up for the service. You’ll still be able to use the Apple TV app as-is, though. It already supports pay-TV services like Charter/Spectrum, DirectvNOW, and PlayStation Vue; support for Optimum and Suddenlink will be added “later this year,” Apple says. ## **Apple News+** Apple’s three-year-old Apple News service is getting a major upgrade in the form of Apple News+, a $9.99-per-month subscription giving users unlimited access to more than 300 magazines, including _WIRED_, _Vanity Fair_ and _Essence_. (TIME is included as well.) There’s more than magazines here, too. Premium online publications like The Skimm or _New York Magazine’s_ Vulture are also available. Subscribers will also get some content from The Los Angeles _Times_ and _The Wall Street Journal._ Apple News+ will live inside the Apple News app, an update for which is now available. Subscribers will be able to enjoy both news and magazine content on every iOS and MacOS device. On stage, Roger Rosner, VP of Applications, claimed Apple News+ to be “the only place you will find all these magazines in a single package.” If the deal sounds familiar, that’s because Apple News+ is based on Texture, a magazine subscription service acquired by Apple that also granted subscribers access to a catalog of magazines for a flat subscription fee. Apple’s own version seems to feature a more interactive experience, with animated covers and more. Subscribers can share unlimited access to Apple News+ content with their family without paying an extra fee. ## **Apple Arcade** Apple’s new game subscription service, Apple Arcade, aims to make it easier to find great mobile games that aren’t bogged down by ads or in-game purchases. The company is working with a handful of game creators to develop titles for the platform, Apple says. “These games often have incredible stories and capture your imagination with their original art and music,” Apple App Store Senior Product Manager Anne Thai said during Monday’s event. “They are some of the most critically acclaimed games ever made. But competing with free is hard, so these games haven’t been as successful for developers, and haven’t been as easy to find for players.” Apple Arcade is set to launch in the fall with over 100 games for online and offline play on Apple devices. As with Apple News+, users can share their subscriptions among family members, and can enjoy the games on whichever Apple device they have, including Apple TV. Users can also bounce between devices, picking up on their TV where you left off on their iPhone, for instance. Apple didn’t specify a full list of launch titles or how much Apple Arcade will cost. ## **Apple Card** The Apple Card is a credit card from Apple, issued in partnership with Goldman Sachs, that’s “designed for a healthier financial life,” according to Apple Pay boss Jennifer Bailey. The upshot of that is a credit card that’s closely tied to an iPhone app making it easier to track your spending, manage your account, and more. The Apple Card will give users more flexibility than usual when it comes to making card payments and doesn’t have late fees. (But “late or missed payments will result in additional interest accumulating toward the customer’s balance,” Apple says.) The card will give customers 2% cash back on all purchases, and 3% cash back on purchases made directly from Apple or its online services — Apple’s calling it “Daily Cash.” In the app, you’ll see your purchases organized by category, your total card balance, and how much you’ve spent at an establishment. The app also shows users in real-time how long it should take to pay off their balance with an easy-to-understand payment plan generator. Furthermore, the app can demystify confusing charges using machine learning and geolocation, so your purchase at John’s Deli should actually say John’s Deli. Apple Card cardholders will also receive a titanium credit card for purchases at merchants that don’t accept Apple Pay via an iPhone or Apple Watch. But using that card only gets you 1% cash back. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5558407/apple-tv-news-card-arcade/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5558407/apple-tv-news-card-arcade/"},"headline":"The 4 Biggest Things Apple Just Announced, From TV to a Credit Card","datePublished":"2019-03-25T21:19:44.000Z","dateModified":"2026-08-04T07:45:50.085Z","description":"Apple is getting serious about services","url":"https://time.com/5558407/apple-tv-news-card-arcade/","keywords":["Tech","Apple","onetime"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt3afb812957f806fb/6989474cb3fce3fe5b0c35ab/apple-event-tim-cook-tv.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Patrick Austin","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/patrick-lucas-austin/"}],"articleSection":"Business","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt3afb812957f806fb/6989474cb3fce3fe5b0c35ab/apple-event-tim-cook-tv.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"apple-event-tim-cook-apple-tv","caption":"Apple Holds Product Launch Event In Cupertino","creditText":"Michael Short—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/business/","name":"Business"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-tech/","name":"Tech"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5558407/apple-tv-news-card-arcade/","name":"The 4 Biggest Things Apple Just Announced, From TV to a Credit Card"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Apple Introduces Apple News+","description":"$9.99 will give you and your family access to hundreds of publications.","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/xjqikpOg/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2019-03-25T20:12:31.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/xjqikpOg.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/5558407/apple-tv-news-card-arcade/","duration":"PT4M2S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/5558407/apple-tv-news-card-arcade/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Apple Introduces Apple Arcade","description":"Coming Fall 2019.","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/PZVEfby8/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2019-03-25T20:11:38.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/PZVEfby8.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/5558407/apple-tv-news-card-arcade/","duration":"PT2M41S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/5558407/apple-tv-news-card-arcade/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Apple Introduces Its Own Credit Card: Apple Card","description":"VP of Apple Pay Jennifer Bailey shows its features.","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/XRGxrvL2/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2019-03-25T20:12:03.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/XRGxrvL2.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/5558407/apple-tv-news-card-arcade/","duration":"PT5M11S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/5558407/apple-tv-news-card-arcade/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
