### 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.

Aug 26, 2019 2:13 PM UTC

Can you feel it in the air? The heat is starting to falter. The wind is coming in stronger. Starbucks is about to start selling Pumpkin Spice Lattes. Fall is almost here, and with it come all the biggest video game releases of the year.

It’s already [been a great year for video games](https://time.com/5614583/best-video-games-2019-so-far/), but the industry tends to hold the best stuff for last. September, October, and November are months of pure gaming joy, when studios big and small release titles we’ll be playing and talking about well into 2020\. 

The following 10 video games are the titles we’re most excited about this fall:

## **Borderlands 3**

Shoot, loot, repeat. What more could you want from a video game? _Borderlands 3_ is a multiplayer loot shooter where players gather to rampage through a neon-lit post-apocalyptic world _in space_. The _Borderlands_ series has always been a solid bet. Its crass but lovable humor, cell-shaded cartoon graphics, and commitment to piles and piles of strange and wonderful weapons makes it the Fall’s first must-buy.

_Borderlands 3_ is out on the PS4, Xbox One, and PC on September 13.

## **The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening**

As a child, my Game Boy was attached to my hip, and one of my favorite games for the monochrome system was _The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening_. It was like a normal Zelda game, but weirder. On his way to another country for a training exercise, Link loses his way in a storm and washes up on an island. There’s no Zelda, no Gannon, and no Hyrule, just dreamlike adventures in a game directly inspired by David Lynch’s _Twin Peaks_. Seriously.

Nintendo is releasing a gorgeous looking remaster of _The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening_ for the Nintendo Switch on October 1.

## **Destiny 2 Relaunch**

First impressions are important, and video games don’t often get do-overs. But _Destiny 2_ developer Bungie is hoping for a second chance. _Destiny 2_ is two years old now, but the latest expansion, _Shadowkeep,_ is out on October 1, and Bungie has made so many changes to the game that it’s hoping to bring back lapsed players and make some new ones.


_Destiny 2_ is a multiplayer loot shooter like _Borderlands 3_ that was billed as a massively multiplayer online roleplaying experience with guns. Bugs, glitches, and weird pricing models and microtransactions plagued the game since launch. But Bungie recently ended its relationship with publisher Activision-Blizzard, retooled many of the game’s systems, and made it free-to-play. Curious gamers only have to buy _Shadowkeep_ for $34.99 to experience everything _Destiny 2_ now has to offer.

If anyone deserves a second chance, it’s Bungie. These are the people who made _Halo_, after all_. Destiny 2_ _’s_ relaunch is out on PC, Xbox One, and PS4 on October 1.

## **The Outer Worlds**


In the far-flung future, humanity has colonized the stars. On the edges of the known universe, capitalism is in full swing and crushing folks. In this alternate world, Teddy Roosevelt never became president and never fought the rise of megacorporations. Players wake up from cryosleep on the edges of colonized space and have to fight to survive and investigate the mysteries and eccentricities of the megacorporations that hold power.

_The Outer Worlds_ is a first-person roleplaying game from the original creators of _Fallout_ and the writers of _Fallout: New Vegas_. From the dark humor to the game design, _The Outer Worlds_ is cribbing shamelessly from that post-apocalyptic classic, but setting the whole thing in space. Approach problems your way: shoot everything on sight, sneak around threats, or talk to your enemies and charm the pants off them. It’s up to you.

Blast into corporate space with _The Outer Worlds_ on PC, Xbox One, PS4, and Switch on October 25.


## **Call of Duty: Modern Warfare**

Like a Marvel movie, _Call_ _of Duty: Modern Warfare’s_ financial success is all but inevitable. The latest CoD is always one of the biggest games of the year. Last year, the franchise abandoned a single-player campaign in favor of a multiplayer focus. But the plot-driven single-player is back this year, and developer _Infinity Ward_ is promising a dark, gritty, mature take on modern combat.

For the first time, players will have to worry about civilian casualties, NGOs, and other non-combatants. There’s a chance the player will commit war crimes in the field. There’s collateral damage, threat assessments, and everything else a real soldier has to worry about. The jury’s out on whether or not that’ll all be fun, but we’re all gonna play it.


_Call of Duty: Modern Warfare_ hits the PS4, Xbox One, and PC on October 25\. 

## **Luigi’s Mansion 3** 

Sometimes you just want to explore a haunted mansion as a cowardly plumber, you know? _Luigi’s Mansion 3_ is a delightful looking title from Nintendo that follows the second-string Mario brother as he explores a luxury hotel that’s been overrun by Boos. Armed with a vacuum cleaner, a flashlight, and a gooey clone that’s semi-impervious to damage, Luigi must overcome his fear and fight off the ghosts to save his friends and family.

_Luigi’s Mansion 3_ comes to the Nintendo Switch on October 31, appropriately enough.


## **Death Stranding** 

I don’t really know what _Death Stranding_ is, but I badly want to play it. A few years ago, video game auteur Hideo Kojima parted with Konami, his home and publisher for decades. Sony scooped him up and gave him carte blanche to do whatever he wanted. What Sony got for its money is _Death Stranding_, a strange and surreal star-studded adventure of a man traveling across America with a baby strapped to his chest that he uses to move between life and death.

I think that’s what it’s about, anyway. What I can tell you for sure is that it stars Norman Reedus, Mads Mikkleson, Guillermo Del Toro, and Margaret Qualley. I know that the story involves traveling across America making connections, that the main character can summon ladders, and that sometimes he has to pee. Kojima makes weird games, but he’s yet to make a bad one. His involvement alone makes _Death Stranding_ one of fall’s must-play games.


See what all the fuss is about and play _Death Stranding_ November 8 on PlayStation 4.

## **Pokémon Sword and Shield**

Everyone loves _Pokémon_. Catching pocket monsters and battling them against your friends is a cultural institution. _Pokémon Sword_ and _Shield_ hit the Nintendo Switch this Fall and it’s a big deal, marking the first time the mainline _Pokémon_ series has jumped from Nintendo’s handheld systems to its main console. Sure, we had _Pokémon Let’s Go Eevee_ and _Pickachu_, but those were remasters of old games. 

_Sword and Shield_ boasts a new generation of Pokémon, support for most of the old pocket monsters you’ve been lugging around since generation one, a brand new story, new areas, new battle mechanics, and more stuff for your Pokémon to do.


_Pokémon Sword_ and _Shield_ hit the Nintendo Switch on November 15.

## **Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order** 

From the makers of _Apex Legends_ comes the first purely story-driven Star Wars video game since Disney took over the franchise from George Lucas. _Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order_ takes place after the events of _Revenge of the Sith_ and before _Rogue One_. The Jedi are being hunted across the galaxy, and the player controls Padawan Cal Kestis who must complete his training and fight back against the Empire.

It’s a third-person action game that, from the footage, looks like it plays like _Sekiro_ or _Dark Souls_. There’s exploration, lightsaber battles, force powers, and Forest Whitakker. What more do you need to know? 


_Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order_ comes to the PS4, Xbox One, and PC on November 15.

## **Doom Eternal**

Rip and tear through the demons of hell in _Doom Eternal_. This is the latest first-person shooter in the franchise that made the genre famous. It’s a direct sequel to the 2016 series reboot _Doom_, and features the doom slayer cutting through demons — and possibly angels — as he continues his one-Marine quest to rid space of everything supernatural.

_Doom Eternal_ will saw through the PC, PS4, XBox One, and Nintendo Switch on November 22.
