### 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.

Ravelry, a popular social network and online community for knitters and other needleworkers, has banned posts in support of President Donald Trump, saying his administration is “undeniably” supportive of white supremacy. 

The website published a statement Sunday, outlining its new policy. “We cannot provide a space that is inclusive of all and also allow support for open white supremacy,” the statement read. Trump was criticized in 2017 for saying there were “very fine people on both sides,” in the wake of violence at a white nationalist Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Va.

Ravelry is among the most popular online platforms for knitters and crocheters, with 8 million members, more than 100,000 followers on Twitter and 80,000 Instagram followers. While Trump supporters themselves are not banned, they are asked to keep their political views to themselves. The statement noted: “We are definitely not banning conservative politics. Hate groups and intolerance are different from other types of political positions.” 

> [](https://twitter.com/ravelry/status/1142766608680660992)

Ravelry added that people would not be banned for expressing support for Trump in the past and said people are not allowed to push people who support Trump into vocalizing their opinions. A spokesperson for Ravelry did not respond to TIME’s requests for comment. The site did not specify which of Trump’s actions or his administration’s policies that they viewed as supporting white supremacists, or otherwise discriminating against marginalized communities. But the site does cite a similar set of rules enacted last year by a role-playing forum, [RPG.net](https://forum.rpg.net/index.php?threads/new-ban-do-not-post-in-support-of-trump-or-his-administration.835849/), as providing relevant references; the eleven examples of values “wholly inconsistent” with the site’s own given there include the Trump administration’s immigration policies, hostility to the transgender community and “dog-whistled love note\[s\] to white nationalists.”


“Further reading on this and all of the above topics are freely available from any reputable news site,” the policy concludes.

The revamped policy was met with broad approval online, though some criticized the site for making things political. Others, within the knitting community and outside of it, lauded Ravelry for taking a stance.

NPR [reports](https://www.npr.org/2019/06/24/735460674/ravelry-the-knitting-website-bans-trump-talk-and-patterns) that pro-Trump projects have popped up on the forum, including hats and scarf patterns that say “Build the wall” and refer to Trump’s Make America Great Again slogan.

Farrah Rochon, a crocheter who has occasionally visited Ravelry’s forums for tips on making hats, tells TIME she has previously seen people post photos of projects that advertise support for Trump, including blankets that say “Trump 2020” or American flags boasting his name.

“Trump’s name is triggering for people,” she says. “The way they’ve co-opted the American flag to mean that if you don’t support Trump, you’re not patriotic—it frustrates me.”

Detractors to Ravelry’s policy, Rochon says, are revealing just how far they’ll go to conflate being a Republican with being a white supremacist, despite the site’s insistence that it is not policing conservative thought. “I have many Republican friends who don’t like or support Trump. There’s a difference,” she says. “Ravelry didn’t say anything about Republicans, just that the Trump administration has absolutely shown they have white supremacy tendencies.”

Knitting has risen as a popular hobby in recent years, and has become associated with progressive causes. In, the practice went viral after thousands of women made and bought pink hats with cat ears in reference to [Trump’s derogatory comments about women](https://time.com/4523972/donald-trumps-comment-root-sexual-violence/). Knitters and crocheters have also made statements through actions like [yarn bombing](https://www.apnews.com/88a205f41f2342ffb334b6ef1a32eb11), in which graffiti is made through knitted or crocheted yarn.

Ravelry’s choice to take a firm stance comes as a number of social media and tech giants, such as YouTube, Facebook and Twitter, struggle to establish consistent messaging regarding hate speech and face criticism for allowing extremism. In March Facebook extended its [ban on hate speech](https://newsroom.fb.com/news/2019/03/standing-against-hate/) to prohibit white nationalism and white separatism. YouTube made a similar move earlier this month to ban videos with white supremacy and neo-Nazi viewpoints. (Around the same time, YouTube was staunchly criticized for allowing conservative comic Steven Crowder to make homophobic comments that targeted another video maker; the platform eventually temporarily demonetized his channel.)


Communities like Ravelry are better able to draw hard boundaries on what’s acceptable because they serve fewer people, according to Tiffany C. Li, an attorney and fellow at Yale Law School’s Information Society Project. Li says Ravelry can make decisions without receiving as much blowback as big platforms because their communities tend to have people with mostly similar views, whereas on places like YouTube or Twitter, people are more splintered.

“The issues with big social media companies are that they are moderating content in really different ways,” she says. “The rules are inconsistent, and they’re constantly changing.”

Li says Ravelry is fully within its rights to ban people from expressing support for Trump because it’s private, and not government-owned.
