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=98de21a8-2bcb-4837-9b22-11e51595edd1&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=98de21a8-2bcb-4837-9b22-11e51595edd1&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=98de21a8-2bcb-4837-9b22-11e51595edd1&cr=agentads-creative-pmi-v1) * PMI, "Maximizing Project Success" | [pmi.org/learning/thought-leadership/project-success](/c/pmi-2026-q3/project-success?i=98de21a8-2bcb-4837-9b22-11e51595edd1&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=98de21a8-2bcb-4837-9b22-11e51595edd1&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=98de21a8-2bcb-4837-9b22-11e51595edd1&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=98de21a8-2bcb-4837-9b22-11e51595edd1&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=98de21a8-2bcb-4837-9b22-11e51595edd1&cr=agentads-creative-pmi-v1) ### FAQ structured data (JSON-LD, optional) ## Video: U.S., U.K., and Australia Announce Game-Changing Nuclear Submarine Deal [Watch (HLS stream): U.S., U.K., and Australia Announce Game-Changing Nuclear Submarine Deal](https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/F5Hr35jg.m3u8) (4:01)  _Published 2023-03-14.

Mar 23, 2023 10:29 AM UTC After a lifetime of waiting, the biggest moment of King Charles’ career is now fast approaching. Britain’s newest monarch automatically ascended the throne after the monumental [death of his mother,](https://time.com/5354868/queen-elizabeth-ii-succession-prince-charles/) Queen Elizabeth II, in September, but his official [coronation](https://time.com/6265004/harry-meghan-charles-iii-coronation-attendance/) will take place on May 6\. Charles—formerly the Prince of Wales—was three years old when he inherited the heir apparent title that he held for a record seven decades. His ascension had knock-on effects for the wider monarchy, giving way to head-spinning titles swaps and a new line of succession. At present, the extensive list features [23 members](https://www.royal.uk/succession) of the royal family from William, the new heir apparent and Prince of Wales, to Master Lucas Tindall, one of the Queen’s great-grandsons.  Other key developments saw Prince Edward, Charles’ brother, awarded the Duke of Edinburgh title almost two years after his father Prince Philip, the title’s previous owner, died in April 2021\. Edward was promised the title at his wedding in 1999 but it was officially approved by King Charles on Edward’s 59th birthday on March 10. Meanwhile, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s son Archie and daughter Lilibet Diana are [officially prince and princess](https://time.com/6261257/harry-meghan-children-royal-titles-prince-archie-princess-lilibet/). The toddlers did not hold these titles at birth, but as grandchildren of the new monarch, they became entitled to use them when Charles became King. Spokespeople for both Harry and Meghan and Buckingham Palace confirmed in early March that the titles for their children are now officially in use. As King Charles prepares for his coronation in May, here is the up to date royal family tree in order of where they stand in line to the throne. --- ### More from TIME --- ## 1\.

In 1986, Andrew married Sarah Ferguson and the couple had two daughters—Beatrice and Eugenie—before they officially divorced in 1996 after four years of separation. Andrew served in the Royal Navy for 22 years and participated in the Falklands War in 1982\. He formally stepped back from royal duties in 2019 as a result of his ties to convicted sex offender and U.S. financier Jeffrey Epstein. In February 2021, Andrew settled a [civil sexual assault case](https://time.com/6107815/prince-andrew-sexual-abuse-lawsuit-allegations/) with an undisclosed sum of money but he made no admission of guilt. ## 9\.

August Philip Hawke Brooksbank August Philip Hawke Brooksbank has no royal title but he sits higher in the line of succession than those who do. August is the [two-year-old son](https://www.royal.uk/announcement-birth-princess-eugenie-and-mr-jack-brooksbank%E2%80%99s-first-baby?page=4) of Princess Eugenie and her husband Jack Brooksbank. He is the Queen’s ninth great-grandchild, and the first grandchild of Prince Andrew, the Duke of York, and Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York. ## 13\. The Duke of Edinburgh [Prince Edward](https://platinumjubilee.royal.uk/duke-edinburgh) was born in March 1964, as the youngest son of Philip and Queen Elizabeth. Formerly the Earl of Wessex, Edward inherited his father Prince Philip’s title in March. The title was promised to him on his wedding day to Sophie Rhys-Jones [in 1999](https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-64913224), but it was formally awarded to him on his 59th birthday, almost two years after Philip’s death. Edward and Sophie—who previously held the title of [Countess of Wessex](https://www.royal.uk/duchess-edinburgh) until March, when she became Duchess of Edinburgh—share two children James and Louise. The couple are both full-time working members of the royal family. ## 14\. James, Earl of Wessex James, Earl of Wessex, was born in 2007 with the more unusual title of Viscount Severn. He is the younger child of the newly appointed Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, Prince Edward and Sophie. He inherited his father’s former title when his parents became Duke and Duchess in March. ## 15\. Lady Louise Windsor Born in 2003, Lady Louise Windsor is the eldest child of the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, Prince Edward and Sophie. Despite being older than her brother James, Louise is lower in the line of succession because she was born before succession laws were [changed in 2011](https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-15492607) to grant equal right to the throne for males and females. Louise was also a bridesmaid at Prince William and Kate Middleton’s wedding in 2011\. ## 16\.

At the time of her birth in August 1950, Anne was third in line to the throne but with time she has become 16th. She earned her title in June 1987, as a result of her position as the eldest daughter of the sovereign. Anne married Captain Mark Phillips in November 1973, and the couple has two children—Peter Phillips and Zara Tindall. The couple separated in 1989, and officially divorced in 1992\. Anne married her second husband Timothy Laurence in 1992, which featured as a storyline on season 5 of Netflix’s drama [_The Crown_.](https://time.com/6229016/crown-season-5-review/) Anne was also a known equestrian who competed for Great Britain in the 1976 Montreal Olympics. She began public work aged 18 and still works with the charity Save the Children, of which she became president in 1970\. ## 17\. Peter Phillips [Peter Phillips](https://www.insider.com/peter-phillips-walking-between-harry-william-prince-philip-funeral-2021-4?utm%5Fsource=facebook.com&utm%5Fcampaign=sf-insider-main&utm%5Fmedium=social&fbclid=IwAR0V3B4MK%5Fmk1sYnjUG9YplJzm4mKKaPDFnw08giEdOTxiGvR-gP-nmErM4) is the eldest grandchild of Queen Elizabeth and is one of the lesser known royals. He was born in November 1977 to Anne, Princess Royal, and her first husband Captain Mark Phillips. An Olympic equestrian and non-royal, Peter therefore has no hereditary royal title. He is the older brother of Zara Tindall. [According to the BBC](http://news.bbc.co.uk/onthisday/hi/dates/stories/november/15/newsid%5F2539000/2539937.stm), Peter’s parents hoped a lack of title would afford him a more conventional life; they reportedly “rejected an offer from the Queen of titles which would have enabled their children to be born into the peerage.” In 2008, Peter married a Canadian woman named Autumn Kelly at St George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle, and later had two daughters, Savannah in 2010, and Isla in 2012\. The pair ultimately [divorced](https://www.insider.com/queen-grandson-peter-phillips-divorce-autumn-kelly-2020-2) in 2021\. Philips walked behind the coffins of both Prince Philip in 2021, and Queen Elizabeth in 2022\. ## 18\. Savannah Phillips Savannah Phillips is the eldest grandchild of Princess Anne, and eldest great-granddaughter of Queen Elizabeth. She was born in December 2010 at Gloucestershire Royal Hospital to Anne’s son Peter Philips and his then-wife Autumn. At one point, Savannah was 12th in line to the throne but with the subsequent birth of other royal babies, she dropped down the list. ## 19\. Isla Elizabeth Phillips Isla Phillips was born in March 2021 and shares the same parents as her older sister Savannah. Isla has the middle name Elizabeth, which is widely believed to be an ode to her great-grandmother. ## 20\. Zara Tindall Zara Tindall (née Phillips) is Princess Royal Anne’s second child with her first husband Captain ​​Mark Phillips. Zara, born in May 1981, [married](https://newsfeed.time.com/2011/07/30/royal-wedding-encore-zara-phillips-gets-married-in-scotland/) former rugby player Mike Tindall in 2011 and the couple has three children: Mia, Lena, and Lucas. Zara is also known for her successful equestrian career. ## 21\. Mia Grace Tindall Born in January 2014, Mia is the eldest child of Zara and Mike Tindall, and Princess Anne’s granddaughter. The nine-year-old, like her two younger siblings, has no royal title but has become a known young face at royal events and in official portraits. She had a prominent role as a bridesmaid in Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank’s royal wedding in October 2018\. ## 22\. Lena Elizabeth Tindall Lena is the middle child and younger daughter of Zara and Mike Tindall. Lena was born in June 2018, two years after the couple revealed that they had experienced a miscarriage. Lena’s middle name nods to her great-grandmother, Queen Elizabeth. ## 23\. Lucas Philip Tindall Born in March 2021, Lucas is the youngest child of Zara and Mike Tindall.
