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=0bb6887b-38a4-4e44-8fed-b0cef9e0d08a&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=0bb6887b-38a4-4e44-8fed-b0cef9e0d08a&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=0bb6887b-38a4-4e44-8fed-b0cef9e0d08a&cr=agentads-creative-pmi-v1) * PMI, "Maximizing Project Success" | [pmi.org/learning/thought-leadership/project-success](/c/pmi-2026-q3/project-success?i=0bb6887b-38a4-4e44-8fed-b0cef9e0d08a&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=0bb6887b-38a4-4e44-8fed-b0cef9e0d08a&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=0bb6887b-38a4-4e44-8fed-b0cef9e0d08a&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=0bb6887b-38a4-4e44-8fed-b0cef9e0d08a&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=0bb6887b-38a4-4e44-8fed-b0cef9e0d08a&cr=agentads-creative-pmi-v1) ### FAQ structured data (JSON-LD, optional)  by [Olivia B.

Waxman Staff Writer Sep 15, 2022 10:32 PM UTC As all eyes turn to [King Charles III](https://time.com/6212122/king-charles-iii-coronation-updates/), journalist and famed royal watcher Tina Brown offers some insights on what kind of monarch the longtime heir apparent is likely to be. Brown’s latest book, [_The Palace Papers_](https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/624639/the-palace-papers-by-tina-brown/), pulls back the curtains on some of the inner workings of the royal family. **How would you rate King Charles III’s response to his ascension to the throne, and his mother’s death?** _His royal training has completely kicked in—both his naval training as an officer, and his years and decades of attending big royal ceremonial occasions, has just schooled him in this impeccable conduct. Each one of his different speeches has been both potent and also human. Charles has been acclaimed with enormous love and affection by the British nation in the last few days. In a sense, this is the first time that Charles has really been able to experience that._ **Read more:** [_The Story Behind TIME’s Queen Elizabeth II cover_](https://time.com/6211810/time-queen-elizabeth-ii-cover/) **Is King Charles III likely to run into trouble given his advocacy on the climate, and his history of** [**trying to intervene in policy**](https://time.com/6212008/king-charles-iii-controversy-past/)**?** _Charles knows that the days of speaking out vocally on those things are done. He actually said in an interview,_ [_“I’m not that stupid.”_](https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2018/nov/08/prince-charles-me-meddle-as-a-king-im-not-that-stupid) _And I don’t think he will. He doesn’t need to. The truth is, we know what he thinks about climate change. The other thing that will be very helpful for Charles: he becomes King at a point when we have a very inexperienced and_ [_divisive Prime Minister_](https://time.com/6211068/british-prime-minister-liz-truss-crises-economy-ukraine/) _\[Liz Truss\], who hasn’t done this job before and who has not been elected by the whole country. So he actually will appear to be the more statesman-like figure._ **How will the King respond to the very public controversy over** [**Prince Harry and Meghan Markle**](https://time.com/collection/100-most-influential-people-2021/6096108/prince-harry-meghan/)**, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, distancing themselves from the royal family?** _Charles is going to be reaching out to_ [_Harry_](https://time.com/5284344/royal-wedding-meghan-markle-prince-harry-time-cover/) _a lot. And I think he wants very much to heal that rift. Whether or not the rift can be healed will be more down to whether or not the Duchess feels that she would ever want to return to the family fold._ **Has** [**Camilla**](https://time.com/5910567/diana-charles-camilla-the-crown/) **successfully rehabbed her image as Queen consort now?** _I absolutely do think so. She’s now been married to Charles longer than Diana was and is enormously supportive of him. I think she has an air of somebody who’s a little dazed by the enormity of what she’s now in. But she has natural charm. She’s going to be a queen mother figure to the nation who now regard her with some affection._ _The two women in Charles’s life who are going to be the most important are Camilla and his sister Anne who he’s very close to and who will play a role like_ [_Valerie Biden plays to Joe_](https://www.theguardian.com/books/2022/apr/24/valerie-biden-owens-book-growing-up-biden) _—a backstage consigliere to Charles._ **We just passed the 25th anniversary of** [**Diana’s death**](https://time.com/6205449/the-princess-hbo-documentary-diana/)**. How do you see the accession of Charles in the context of that anniversary?** _The country’s always going to love_ [_Diana_](https://time.com/6209937/princess-diana-legacy-royal-family/) _and her memory. You’re going to see more and more memorializing of_ [_Diana_](https://time.com/6209559/princess-diana-death-history-25-years-anniversary/) _during the reign of William, for instance, when he takes over. But time moved on. \[Diana’s death\] was 25 years ago. Camilla has been accepted. This is a human family, and what family hasn’t been riven by divorce in today’s age? Very few._ **There are already rumblings that** [**some nations will cut ties**](https://time.com/6212004/queen-elizabeth-republicanism-anti-monarchy/) **with the monarchy. What will that mean for the crown?** _Charles fully expects that to happen. He’s actually quite accepting of it. He knows that by the time we get to \[new heir to the throne\] Prince William, the sovereign realms will be gone. One of Charles’ thorniest challenges is to address the lasting damage of colonialism, for which there is rising vocal demand._ **Read more:** [The British Monarchy Helped Mortgage Our Collective Future](https://time.com/6212672/queen-elizabeth-death-empire-climate-change/) **Is there a chance that the British monarchy could be** [**abolished**](https://time.com/6212370/british-monarchy-future-king-charles-iii/) **in the foreseeable future?** _No, not in the foreseeable future.
