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=77c16d2b-4abb-4fdf-af4d-8b80e3a78c78&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=77c16d2b-4abb-4fdf-af4d-8b80e3a78c78&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=77c16d2b-4abb-4fdf-af4d-8b80e3a78c78&cr=agentads-creative-pmi-v1) * PMI, "Maximizing Project Success" | [pmi.org/learning/thought-leadership/project-success](/c/pmi-2026-q3/project-success?i=77c16d2b-4abb-4fdf-af4d-8b80e3a78c78&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=77c16d2b-4abb-4fdf-af4d-8b80e3a78c78&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=77c16d2b-4abb-4fdf-af4d-8b80e3a78c78&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=77c16d2b-4abb-4fdf-af4d-8b80e3a78c78&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=77c16d2b-4abb-4fdf-af4d-8b80e3a78c78&cr=agentads-creative-pmi-v1) ### FAQ structured data (JSON-LD, optional)  by [Nik Popli](/author/nik-popli/)  ## Nik Popli Staff Writer Updated: Dec 11, 2023 9:56 PM CUTPublished: Oct 6, 2022 8:50 PM CUT  Musk this week revived his offer to buy Twitter, potentially avoiding a legal showdown with the company. Musk this week revived his offer to buy Twitter, potentially avoiding a legal showdown with the company.Muhammed Selim Korkutata—Anadolu Agency  by [Nik Popli](/author/nik-popli/)  ## Nik Popli Staff Writer Updated: Dec 11, 2023 9:56 PM CUTPublished: Oct 6, 2022 8:50 PM CUT Twitter could be about to get some major updates. With Elon Musk [taking over](https://time.com/6225927/elon-musk-twitter-deal/ "undefined") the social media platform on Thursday after a six-month rollercoaster ride, a number of technical and operational changes could soon be coming. “I have a ton of ideas,” Musk texted Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal in April, right before he agreed to join the company’s board. “I just want Twitter to be maximum amazing.” Musk, whose Twitter profile bio recently changed to “Chief Twit,” has publicly hinted at several ways he might transform the platform, from loosening content moderation to restoring banned accounts and adding an edit feature. And a juicy set of [text messages](https://time.com/6218578/elon-musk-texts-twitter/ "undefined") between Musk and his business associates, made public in a court filing, provide an even closer look into how he might monetize and overhaul the platform. On Thursday, Musk tweeted that he had acquired Twitter “because it is important to the future of civilization to have a common digital town square, where a wide range of beliefs can be debated in a healthy manner, without resorting to violence.” He added that both traditional and social media had driven polarization, and that he would restore “dialogue” on the platform. He also hinted he would not preside over a total roll-back of its rules, as some Twitter employees had feared. “Twitter obviously cannot become a free-for-all hellscape, where anything can be said with no consequences,” he wrote. “Our platform must be warm and welcoming to all.” But analysts warn that Musk’s focus on unmoderated free speech could present new challenges, which could have huge implications for the digital town square just weeks before the U.S. midterm elections. “No one’s prepared for the kind of onslaught that’s going to come,” says Angelo Carusone, president and CEO of Media Matters, a non-profit media watchdog. “We know the people he’s been talking to and we see all the indicators—this is a real threat.” Here’s how Twitter could change under Musk. ## New leadership will be appointed As expected, Musk’s first move was to clean house, starting with Twitter’s chief executive, Agrawal, who took the helm at the company last year after co-founder Jack Dorsey stepped down. The AP and other news outlets [reported](https://www.cnbc.com/2022/10/27/elon-musk-now-in-charge-of-twitter-ceo-and-cfo-have-left-sources-say.html "undefined") on Thursday that Musk also dismissed CFO Ned Segal and general counsel Vijaya Gadde. Text messages between Musk and his business associates reveal how frustrated he was with Agrawal’s leadership, even though the two had initially sought to work together. Agrawal told Musk on April 9 that his habit of tweeting negative things like “Is Twitter dying?” was “not helping me make Twitter better.” **Read More:** [_Elon Musk Finalizes Deal To Buy Twitter_](https://time.com/6225927/elon-musk-twitter-deal/ "undefined") “What did you get done this week?” Musk, who at the time was in discussions about joining Twitter’s board, replied. “This is a waste of time,” he added, saying instead he would make an offer to buy the company. The complicated relationship between the two may have resulted in Agrawal being fired on Musk’s first day of ownership. He will likely be replaced by Musk or one of his allies. “Fixing Twitter by chatting with Parag won’t work,” Musk texted Twitter board chair Bret Taylor. Musk had also expressed displeasure with other Twitter executives—tweeting a meme about Gadde, the company’s top lawyer, that cast her as an icon of “Twitter’s left wing bias.” Gadde led the team that decided to ban Trump. ## Donald Trump and other suspended accounts could be allowed back Musk has said for months that his top priority would be to preserve free speech on Twitter and restore access to former President Donald Trump, who was permanently suspended last year after the deadly Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol. “I think Musk will restore his account immediately,” Carusone told TIME earlier this month, “the second that he gets the keys.” Trump has said he would not rejoin Twitter even if the ban were to be lifted since he launched his own social media platform, [TRUTH Social](https://time.com/6170412/truth-social-elon-musk-twitter-donald-trump/ "undefined"), earlier this year. Other suspended users could also be reinstated, analysts say, including right-wing voices that were barred for spreading conspiracy theories or hateful rhetoric. Musk previously told Agrawal via text message that he wanted to reverse all permanent Twitter bans “except for spam accounts and those that explicitly advocate violence.” That means Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, whose personal Twitter account was suspended this year for repeatedly sharing misinformation about COVID-19 vaccines, could be allowed back. It also means The Babylon Bee, a conservative satire site that lost Twitter access after it published a transphobic humor piece, could return. “Are you going to liberate Twitter from the censorship happy mob?” Joe Rogan, the controversial podcast host, texted Musk the day his investment in Twitter became public, but before he made an offer to buy the company. Musk responded: “I will provide advice, which they may or may not choose to follow.” (Musk’s latest offer would take the company private). **Read More:** [_The Big Takeaways From Elon Musk’s Twitter Texts_](https://time.com/6218578/elon-musk-texts-twitter/ "undefined") ## Fewer guardrails against misinformation and extremism Along with reversing the bans on several accounts, Musk could also undo some of Twitter’s policies designed to make the platform safer for vulnerable users—typically women, LGBTQ individuals and people of color—such as its ban on misgendering transgender people. He has previously said that the platform would have more lenient content moderation policies under his leadership. “If in doubt, let the speech exist,” Musk said in an on-stage interview in April. “If it’s a gray area, I would say, let the tweet exist. But obviously in the case where there’s perhaps a lot of controversy, you would not necessarily want to promote that tweet.” Still, Twitter’s algorithm has in the past been found to amplify [extreme political rhetoric or conspiracy theories](https://www.cnn.com/2019/03/22/tech/twitter-algorithm-political-rhetoric "undefined") in harmful ways by suggesting new accounts and content that users might be interested in. Those concerns could become even more prominent if there are fewer guardrails against misinformation and extremism. “It’s going to dramatically scale the number of extremists that are on the platform,” Carusone says. “Not just by restoring accounts, but also by signaling to a whole bunch of other users that don’t currently use the platform that it’s open season.” In one of the texts released last month and sent in April, Musk wrote to Michael Kives, head of an investment firm: “Twitter is obviously not going to be turned into some right wing nuthouse. Aiming to be as broadly inclusive as possible.” ## The edit button could quickly become standard Musk has expressed interest in allowing users to edit their tweets, something many users had been requesting for years. Roughly 74% of his Twitter followers said they supported adding the edit feature, according to a [poll](https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1511143607385874434 "undefined") he ran in March. Among the cache of text messages released was one from Gayle King, co-host of CBS This Morning, who told Musk she supported the idea of an edit button. Twitter began [testing the edit button](https://time.com/6210265/twitter-edit-button/ "undefined") last month after originally pushing back on the notion, giving Twitter Blue members who pay for its subscription model in Canada, Australia and New Zealand early access. Twitter said that the feature would come to U.S. subscribers soon, but Musk may expedite the process once in charge. Currently, users with early access to the function can only edit their tweets up to five times—a way to prevent people from changing the original content of their tweets too often. But there are still concerns that the edit feature could be used with malicious intent to spread misinformation or harmful messages if users were to replace their popular tweets to messages with sinister sentiments. ## Musk could try to remove spam bots and revamp Twitter Blue Perhaps unsurprisingly, Musk is expected to take action on spam bots—or fake accounts—on the platform, which he cited as his main reason for backing out of the original deal. It’s unclear what he might have planned, but the idea of a blockchain-based future for Twitter, in which users have to pay a small fee to send messages, initially seemed appealing to Musk since bots wouldn’t be able to get past the paywall. He later said this idea wouldn’t work because “the bandwidth and latency requirements cannot be supported by a peer to peer network.” If he did push through a plan to get rid of most bot accounts on Twitter, Musk himself would lose an estimated 13.5 million followers, [according to a data analysis](https://www.marketwatch.com/amp/story/elon-musk-would-lose-13-5-million-twitter-followers-if-he-scraps-most-spam-accounts-justin-bieber-would-lose-27-6-million-data-finds-11664970889 "undefined") by Scottish digital skills academy CodeClan. Musk has also been very critical of Twitter Blue, the company’s subscription service that offers exclusive features like bookmark folders and ad-free articles for $4.99 a month. Jason Calacanis, an entrepreneur and one of Musk’s strategic advisors on Twitter, texted him that Twitter Blue is “an insane piece of sh-t” and “these dipsh-ts spent a year on Twitter Blue to give people exactly…Nothing they want!” ## He could create a new ‘everything app’ called ‘X’ Musk said this month that he wants to create a new app called “X” after buying Twitter, which could be an all-in-one super app modeled after China’s WeChat—often described as Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat and Paypal rolled into one central portal. “Buying Twitter is an accelerant to creating X, the everything app,” he [tweeted](https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1577428272056389633 "undefined") Tuesday, later adding that the acquisition could accelerate the app’s creation by 3 to 5 years. It’s unclear what Musk is planning, but he has long expressed his desire for Twitter to emulate the success of WeChat by branching out to offer other features beyond tweets. **Read More:** [_A Complete Timeline of Elon Musk’s Business Endeavors_](https://time.com/6170834/elon-musk-business-timeline-twitter/ "undefined") “I think an important goal for Twitter would be to try to include as much of the country, as much of the world, as possible,” the billionaire businessman said at a town hall with Twitter employees in June. “You basically live on WeChat in China because it’s so usable and helpful to daily life, and I think if we can achieve that, or even get close to that at Twitter, it would be an immense success.” Musk already has some experience with payments platforms, which could help with creating a super app with that function. He co-founded PayPal—which he had previously called X.com—one of the early online payment platforms that has grown to become globally popular. ## More employees might leave On Wednesday, Musk [visited](https://time.com/6225419/elon-musk-visits-twitter-headquarters/ "undefined") Twitter’s San Francisco headquarters ahead of the deal closing, and [reportedly](https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-10-27/musk-tells-twitter-employees-he-doesn-t-plan-to-cut-75-of-jobs "undefined") told employees that he would not be firing 75% of the company’s staff as they [feared](https://time.com/6224380/elon-musk-twitter-open-letter/ "undefined"). But he is still expected to make some cuts, according to Bloomberg News. Musk’s very public criticism of Twitter and its leaders, combined with his backing out of the deal, has created [a significant erosion of trust](https://time.com/6196808/elon-musk-twitter-lawsuit/ "undefined"), says Robert McCann, an adjunct professor at UCLA’s Anderson School of Management. “At Twitter, it’s hit employee morale significantly, spooked advertisers and I think the deeper issue is that it has created a sense of confusion,” [he told TIME in July](https://time.com/6199305/elon-musk-tesla-spacex-challenges-twitter-lawsuit/ "undefined")**.** Some employees may choose to leave once Musk takes over, and some have already headed for the exit, [according to an Insider report.](https://www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-twitter-exodus-turnover-acquisition-2022-9?r=US&IR=T "undefined") Morale at the company was low after Musk renewed his offer to buy the company earlier this month, [according to a report from Platformer.](https://www.platformer.news/p/elon-flips-the-script "undefined") **Read More:** [_Whether or Not He Buys Twitter, Elon Musk Has Thrown the Company Into Turmoil_](https://time.com/6196808/elon-musk-twitter-lawsuit/ "undefined") With Musk promising to oversee a number of technical and operational changes at Twitter, questions about his onerous schedule and leadership style could also impact what he’s able to accomplish. Running just one company is enough to overwhelm even the most skilled Fortune 500 CEOs, but Musk already oversees the day-to-day management of at least four organizations—Tesla, SpaceX, Neuralink and The Boring Company. “There’s a reason that in a universe of incredibly talented, highly ambitious individuals who are CEOs of companies, hardly any of them try to lead more than one at a time,” Eric Pliner, CEO of management consulting firm YSC Consulting and author of _Difficult Decisions_, told TIME in July. “Leadership of any enterprise requires focus. It requires clarity of purpose, and it requires the ability to lead other people. For one person to attempt to spread his attention across so many different enterprises is challenging at best and impossible in some circumstances.” _This story has been updated to reflect that Elon Musk has officially bought Twitter._ ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/6220365/elon-musk-twitter-changes/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/6220365/elon-musk-twitter-changes/"},"headline":"Elon Musk Now Owns Twitter.
