### 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.

Another cruise has gotten caught up in the coronavirus outbreak, this time it’s a West Coast-based ship currently headed to San Francisco.

Authorities are tracking down passengers who disembarked from the _Grand Princess_ in San Francisco last month after a fellow cruise-goer died of the virus, according to [health officials in California](https://www.placer.ca.gov/6438/Death-of-patient-with-COVID-19). Health officials in Placer County believe the 71-year-old man was exposed to the infection during a round-trip voyage to Mexico from[ Feb. 11 to Feb. 21.](https://www.princess.com/news/notices%5Fand%5Fadvisories/notices/grand-princess-updates.html)

California Governor Gavin Newsom said roughly 2,500 passengers traveled on the same voyage as the Placer County victim. It’s possible they may have been exposed.

_Sign up for our daily coronavirus newsletter by clicking_ [_on this link_](https://cloud.newsletters.time.com/coronavirus?source=article)_, and please send any tips, leads, and stories to_ [_virus@time.com_](mailto:virus@time.com)_._

After returning from Mexico, the _Grand Princess_ set sail for Hawaii, with 62 people from the first trip staying onboard. But the vessel was ordered to turn around after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention notified the company it was investigating “a small cluster” of virus cases tied to the Mexico cruise, Princess Cruises said in a letter to passengers Wednesday.

Princess Cruises said Thursday that there are currently [no confirmed cases of COVID-19 on board.](https://www.facebook.com/PrincessCruises/posts/10158344250129060?%5F%5Ftn%5F%5F=-R) In a [previous statement on Wednesday](https://www.princess.com/news/notices%5Fand%5Fadvisories/notices/grand-princess-updates.html), the cruise line said the CDC has identified “fewer than 100 guests and crew” who will be tested before arriving in San Francisco. They included “guests and crew who have experienced influenza-like illness symptoms”, “guests currently under care for respiratory illness” and “guests who sailed the previous Mexico voyage and remained onboard for the current Hawaii voyage.”

The U.S. Coast Guard would deliver testing kits to the ship Thursday morning. Tests will be administered and transferred to a California state lab later in the day with results anticipated early Friday, according to Mary Ellen Carroll, executive director of San Francisco’s Department of Emergency Management. Health officials have said no guests will be allowed to disembark “until all results have been received,” according to the cruise line.

More than 2,300 passengers and 1,000 crew members are on board the ship, Carroll said at a [press conference on Thursday](https://twitter.com/LondonBreed/status/1235642261611745280). Thirty-five of these people have shown flu-like symptoms at some point during the cruise and many have already recovered, she said.

It’s also unclear whether the ship will end up docking in San Francisco.

Carroll said that federal and state authorities will determine the most appropriate location for the ship to dock — a place that “needs to provide for the safety of the surrounding community, as well as the passengers and crew.”


San Francisco Mayor London Breed said at the press conference that the city is doing “everything we can to work with state and federal partners to prepare” if the ship does arrive in San Francisco but that “there are certain criteria that must be met before that occurs.”

The 62 passengers who remained onboard after that initial trip are now[ required to](https://www.princess.com/news/notices%5Fand%5Fadvisories/notices/grand-princess-updates.html) stay in their rooms until they have been screened and cleared by medical staff.

News of the cruise ship-linked death prompted Newsom to declare a state of emergency in California, where 53 cases of coronavirus—officially called COVID-19—[have been confirmed](https://www.cdph.ca.gov/Programs/CID/DCDC/Pages/Immunization/ncov2019.aspx). The patient from the cruise ship is the state’s only death. Placer County Public Health said the man was an[ elderly adult](https://www.placer.ca.gov/6438/Death-of-patient-with-COVID-19) with underlying health conditions. He tested positive for the virus Tuesday.


At least 215 coronavirus cases have been diagnosed in the U.S.,[ according to](https://gisanddata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/opsdashboard/index.html#/bda7594740fd40299423467b48e9ecf6) the Johns Hopkins University virus tracker as of 4 p.m. E.T. At least 16 states have recorded cases.

Globally, the virus[ has infected](https://gisanddata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/opsdashboard/index.html#/bda7594740fd40299423467b48e9ecf6) over 95,400 and killed more than 3,200, the vast majority in mainland China. But the disease has spread rapidly around the world over recent weeks with thousands of cases now in South Korea, Iran and Italy.

_Grand Princess_ is the sister cruise of _Diamond Princess_, which was quarantined in Japan for two weeks after the company learned that a passenger on a previous voyage was diagnosed with the virus.[ More than 700](https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2020/03/02/national/coronavirus-diamond-princess-passengers-crew/) people out of around 3,700 on board were diagnosed, prompting criticism about the effectiveness of a quarantine that ended with almost one in five people infected.
