### 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.

Twenty-two people have died and 26 were injured in a mass shooting at a Walmart in El Paso, Texas, on Saturday, when a man opened fire on a store filled with customers.

Local hospitals have confirmed that they’re treating more than 20 victims of the shooting, the Associated Press reported.

Shooting survivor Octavio Ramiro Lizarde [spoke to reporters on Tuesday](https://www.facebook.com/AmandaGuillenTV/videos/2349919688440585/) at a press conference at Del Sol Medical Center. Lizarde described watching as the gunman killed his nephew, [Javier Amir Rodriguez](https://time.com/5644484/el-paso-teachers-console-students/), who was 15 and the youngest victim of the attack. Lizarde was shot in the foot.

“I feel grateful that I’m alive. He had the chance to kill me, but he didn’t because God’s with me.”

The initial death toll was previously reported at 20, but the [El Paso Police Department announced](https://twitter.com/EPPOLICE/status/1158401032709390336) an additional person died at a hospital early Monday morning, as did the Del Sol Mar Medical Center.

There were 11 victims at Del Sol Medical Center, and [three of those patients remained in critical condition](https://www.cnn.com/us/live-news/el-paso-tx-shooting-live-updates/index.html), Director Dr. Stephen Flaherty said at a news conference Sunday morning, according to CNN. Their ages range from 35-82.

El Paso police spokesperson Sgt. Robert Gomez said that the Walmart was “at capacity” at the time of the shooting, and that between 1,000 and 3,000 people were believed to be inside. Police had responded within six minutes after receiving the first reports of an active shooter at 10:39 a.m.

Several victims were Mexican nationals, Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador said Saturday evening.

“I lament the events that have occurred in El Paso, Texas, neighbor and brother to Ciudad Júarez and our country. I send my condolences to the families of the victims, American citizens as well as Mexicans,” he wrote on Twitter.

> [](https://twitter.com/lopezobrador%5F/status/1157798868832202753)

Mexican Foreign Relations Secretary Marcelo Ebrard tweeted on Sunday morning that seven Mexicans were wounded in the shooting. On Sunday evening, Ebrard shared the names of seven of the victims.

Those wounded include 45-year-old Mario de Alba Montes, 44-year-old Olivia Mariscal Rodríguez and 10-year-old Erika de Alba Mariscal, according to the AP.

The attack is being investigated as an act of domestic terrorism, and the alleged shooter, Patrick Crusius, is facing possible [hate crime charges](https://time.com/5643306/el-paso-shooting-hate-crime-investigation/).

“If he was a racist, poor him,” Lizarde said of Crusius. “That doesn’t have to be a reason to kill.”

Here’s what we know about the victims so far:

## Jordan Anchondo

A 25-year-old woman and mother of three, Jordan Anchondo was [killed while trying to shield her 2-month-old son](https://www.apnews.com/eb1ac95c2cc24d08a8a03d89b1acb0de), according to the AP.

Anchondo’s 19-year-old sister Leta Jamrowski learned the day of the shooting that Anchondo had been one of the victims.

“From the baby’s injuries, they said that more than likely my sister was trying to shield him,” Jamrowski told AP. “So when she got shot she was holding him and she fell on him, so that’s why he broke some of his bones. So he pretty much lived because she gave her life.”

## Andre Anchondo

The 23-year-old was the husband of Jordan Anchondo and the father of their two-month-old son. According to the Associated Press, a friend said he had recently started a business in El Paso that built things from granite and stone, after turning his life around from drug dependence and run-ins with police.

“He had the character and the charisma,” Koteiba “Koti” Azzam, a friend of Andre Anchondo, said, according to the Associated Press.

Another one of Andre’s friends, Benjamin Thompson, had not met Jordan, but told The Dallas _Morning News_ that he had heard she seemed to be a “[happy and family-fueled mother.](https://www.dallasnews.com/news/crime/2019/08/04/know-victims-el-paso-shooting)”

“What happened to their new beautiful family is devastating,” Thompson said.
