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=35be9724-30d9-46be-b44c-91164552798c&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=35be9724-30d9-46be-b44c-91164552798c&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=35be9724-30d9-46be-b44c-91164552798c&cr=agentads-creative-pmi-v1) * PMI, "Maximizing Project Success" | [pmi.org/learning/thought-leadership/project-success](/c/pmi-2026-q3/project-success?i=35be9724-30d9-46be-b44c-91164552798c&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=35be9724-30d9-46be-b44c-91164552798c&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=35be9724-30d9-46be-b44c-91164552798c&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=35be9724-30d9-46be-b44c-91164552798c&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=35be9724-30d9-46be-b44c-91164552798c&cr=agentads-creative-pmi-v1) ### FAQ structured data (JSON-LD, optional) ## Video: 75-Year-Old Man Violently Pushed To The Ground By Police During Protests in Buffalo [Watch (HLS stream): 75-Year-Old Man Violently Pushed To The Ground By Police During Protests in Buffalo](https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/r1Mqtf3d.m3u8) (0:31)  _Published 2020-06-05.

Civil rights advocates march in Washington, D.C., June 6, 2020.Astrid Riecken—Washington Post via Getty Images  by [Tara Law](https://time.com/author/tara-law/)  ## Tara Law Jun 7, 2020 10:26 PM UTC The aftermath of the [killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis](https://time.com/5847967/george-floyd-protests-trump/) has played out not only in protests all across the country, but also in many, many documented examples of alleged police aggression. However, the size and scale of the protests and the lack of context from videos of harsh police behavior makes tracking the past few weeks challenging for even the savviest social media user. To cut through all this confusion, a group of activist researchers have committed themselves to a major challenge: collecting as many videos of alleged police misconduct during the protests as possible, checking their veracity and assembling all the videos on one [Google spreadsheet](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/1/d/1YmZeSxpz52qT-10tkCjWOwOGkQqle7Wd1P7ZM1wMW0E/htmlview?pru=AAABcql6DI8%2AmIHYeMnoj9XWUp3Svb%5FKZA#). So far, it includes more than 300 videos of alleged police misconduct, as well as records of a few unrelated incidents from the last week that researchers found troubling. The leader of the project is T. Greg Doucette, a North Carolina criminal defense attorney, who tells TIME that he has followed cases of police misconduct for years. He produces [a podcast named Fsck ‘Em All](https://www.fsckemall.com/), that primarily discusses cases of police conduct, and has shared stories on his social media accounts for nearly 15 years. Doucette said that the current project to collect videos of suspect police behavior began after he posted a list of videos in late May of apparent misconduct on Facebook and Twitter. Over time, more and more people started sending him other clips. “I think ‘avalanche’ is probably an understatement. I’ve got close to 2,000 messages that I haven’t even been able to open yet,” Doucette, who estimates that he has received upwards of 3,000 messages in total, told TIME. He says that he hopes the project can show people police misconduct is not a matter of isolated incidents, but a pervasive problem that occurs in police departments across the country. “You can’t really excuse 350 plus bad apples across 27 jurisdictions all in the span of just one week,” says Doucette. “It’s obvious there’s a cultural rot, a sort of decay within policing in the United States.” Over the past few weeks, he has worked to verify each video and to share them on [his Twitter account](https://twitter.com/greg%5Fdoucette) with a dose of color commentary. He’s able to sort through many of the videos quickly, because he’s often sent duplicates, and he often recognizes older videos quickly due to his past work on the podcast. Other videos require more time. To verify them, Doucette says he searches to see if they were referenced in a news story, then he checks if the incident was recorded by multiple people on the ground and he looks for other clues as well. > [](https://twitter.com/greg%5Fdoucette/status/1269672894503804928) Doucette says that he’s also careful to conduct due diligence if he makes a mistake, issuing a correction on Twitter and then changing the information as quickly as possible on the sheet. Doucette is not alone in the project. He has been working with several people across the country to organize the videos or create graphics, including California mathematician Jason Miller. Miller connected with Doucette through Twitter and has since assembled the videos in the spreadsheet. Miller tells TIME that working on the project is like a full-time job, but he hopes that the list can help to “memorialize and witness” the protests. As someone who grew up in the suburbs of Minneapolis, it was difficult for him to watch what was happening there. “\[A\]s I’ve grown up and matured, I’ve moved out of Minneapolis and I’ve reflected on my relationship with race. I’ve seen how the culture in Minneapolis was not a healthy culture. This is an expression of how I have wrestled with that,” says Miller, adding, “I wanted this information to be freely distributed, and free for people to see.” Doucette says that for him, personally, he would like to see police reform. He identifies as a conservative but left the Republican Party in response to the election of President Donald Trump and says that he believes both Democrats and Republicans are at fault for defending the police before the American public. He says that as a lawyer, he feels that his job isn’t meaningful unless the police are held to account. “What we’re taught in school is that all power comes from the people; the people elect their representatives, the representatives hire the bureaucrats, the bureaucrats hire the cops” says Doucette. “They’re supposed to be at the bottom of the rungs of power, and instead we’ve inverted that upside down— where the police are openly declaring war on their own citizens, and the politicians are simply sitting there, diddling their phones, not doing anything.” ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5849839/police-brutality-george-floyd-protests-spreadsheet/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5849839/police-brutality-george-floyd-protests-spreadsheet/"},"headline":"'It’s Obvious There’s a Cultural Rot': Activists Collect Hundreds of Examples of Alleged Police Misconduct in One Public Spreadsheet","datePublished":"2020-06-07T22:26:57.000Z","dateModified":"2026-08-04T07:52:04.565Z","description":"So far, it includes over 300 videos of alleged police misconduct, as well as a some incidents researchers found troubling","url":"https://time.com/5849839/police-brutality-george-floyd-protests-spreadsheet/","keywords":["protests","News Desk"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltbdb4e108f6085a86/698a0f0986f68e08c86eed58/GettyImages-1218030277.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Tara Law","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/tara-law/"}],"articleSection":"U.S.","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltbdb4e108f6085a86/698a0f0986f68e08c86eed58/GettyImages-1218030277.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"house-passes-dc-statehood-billates march in Washin","caption":"WASHINGTON, DC - JUNE 6: Civil rights advocates march in Washin","creditText":"Astrid Riecken—Washington Post via 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/us/","name":"U.S."}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/protests/","name":"protests"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5849839/police-brutality-george-floyd-protests-spreadsheet/","name":"'It’s Obvious There’s a Cultural Rot': Activists Collect Hundreds of Examples of Alleged Police Misconduct in One Public Spreadsheet"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"75-Year-Old Man Violently Pushed To The Ground By Police During Protests in Buffalo","description":"Police in Buffalo, New York shoved a man to the ground violently on Thursday evening shortly after a curfew imposed to curb violent protests in the wake of the George Floyd's death came into force.","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/r1Mqtf3d/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2020-06-05T08:23:08.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/r1Mqtf3d.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/5849839/police-brutality-george-floyd-protests-spreadsheet/","duration":"PT31S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/5849839/police-brutality-george-floyd-protests-spreadsheet/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
