### 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.

Editors are gearing up for the announcement of TIME’s 2023 Person of the Year—TIME’s annual selection of the individual, group, or concept that has had the most influence on the world throughout the previous 12 months. 

In a tradition that dates back to 1927, TIME’s Person of the Year is the annual designation for the person, group or concept that most shaped the headlines, for good or ill. Previous selections include U.S. [President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris](https://time.com/person-of-the-year-2020-joe-biden-kamala-harris/), [Martin Luther King Jr.](https://content.time.com/time/covers/0,16641,19640103,00.html), German Chancellor [Angela Merkel](https://time.com/time-person-of-the-year-2015-angela-merkel/), [Pope Francis](https://poy.time.com/2013/12/11/person-of-the-year-pope-francis-the-peoples-pope/), and activist [Greta Thunberg](https://time.com/person-of-the-year-2019-greta-thunberg/). 

In 2022, TIME’s Person of the Year was [Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky](https://time.com/person-of-the-year-2022-volodymyr-zelensky/#:~:text=Volodymyr%20Zelensky%20Is%20TIME%27s%202022%20Person%20of%20the%20Year%20%7C%20Time) and the “[spirit of Ukraine](https://time.com/spirit-of-ukraine-person-of-the-year-2022/).” 

The 2023 Person of the Year will be announced on Wednesday morning. 

Nine candidates, whose names were revealed Monday morning during NBC’s _Today_ show, are in the running for TIME’s annual selection. Here are the finalists. 

## **Hollywood strikers**

Hollywood screenwriters and actors were on strike throughout the year, putting a pause on the creation and filming of new and current shows and movies—a rare show of the power of both labor and the entertainment industry. Both the ​​Writers Guild of America (WGA) and the Screen Actors Guild (SAG)-AFTRA have resumed work; the WGA has already signed a new contract while SAG has a tentative agreement and has yet to ratify its new contract with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers. 

## **Xi Jinping**

Chinese President Xi Jinping entered 2023 a few months into his unprecedented third term, solidifying his role as one of China’s [most powerful modern leaders](https://time.com/6220661/xi-jinping-third-term-china-ccp/). Xi has been on the TIME100 list, which honors the 100 most influential global figures, more than 10 times. He was also a runner-up for [TIME’s 2017 Person of the Year](https://time.com/time-person-of-the-year-2017-xi-jinping-runner-up/). 

## **Taylor Swift**

Grammy-award winning artist Taylor Swift has had a major year, from re-releasing her albums with record-setting streams to making one of the [most successful concert films](https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/taylor-swift-eras-tour-crosses-box-office-1235680385/) in history. Swift’s Eras tour is also on track to become the [highest-grossing global tour](https://time.com/6307420/taylor-swift-eras-tour-money-economy/) of all time. The pop star was previously on the [2017 Person of the Year cover](https://time.com/time-person-of-the-year-2017-silence-breakers-choice/), along with other “Silence Breakers” who spoke out against sexual misconduct. 

## **Sam Altman**

In the past few weeks alone, Sam Altman has made countless headlines for his departure (and swift return) to his position as CEO of OpenAI, the company that released the groundbreaking ChatGPT, which has defined today’s AI landscape. He was previously on the [inaugural TIME100 AI list](https://time.com/collection/time100-ai/6309022/sam-altman-ai/) as well as the [2023 TIME100](https://time.com/collection/100-most-influential-people-2023/6270015/sam-altman/). 

## **Trump Prosecutors** 

Donald Trump became the first U.S. President to be [indicted in the nation’s history](https://time.com/6301112/trump-criminal-cases-status/), charged in four separate cases with more than 90 charges. Felony counts have been brought forward by prosecutors in Florida, Georgia, New York, and Washington, D.C., for election interference, illegally holding on to classified documents, and falsifying business records. 


## **Barbie** 

Fans—especially women and girls—flocked to the cinema to see the first-ever live-action _Barbie_ movie, the most highly-anticipated film of the year, starring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling. Greta Gerwig’s third feature was the [highest-grossing film of 2023](https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/story/2023-09-12/barbie-streaming-records-broken-box-office#:~:text=Highest%2Dgrossing%20film%20of%202023%20in%20the%20U.S.%20and%20worldwide&text=2%2C%20%E2%80%9CBarbie%E2%80%9D%20became%20the,biggest%20domestic%20release%20on%20Aug.), earning $1.4 billion and [causing an explosion](https://time.com/6294121/barbie-movie-popularity-impact/) of pink fashion, accessories, and other merchandise in stores across the world. The film made clear the possibility for theatrical success remains even in a streaming world. 

## **Vladimir Putin**

Russian President Vladimir Putin, who has held the role of President or Prime Minister of Russia since 1999, continued to wage war in Ukraine, now in its second year after the full-scale invasion. Putin faced a brief threat to his power in 2023 during the Wagner rebellion, but his influence was only reinforced in the end, as the mercenary group retreated when a deal was struck by Belarussian President Alexander Lukashenko. (Yevgeny Prigozhin, the leader of the Wagner group, later died in a plane crash). Putin was TIME's 2007 [Person of the Year](https://content.time.com/time/specials/2007/personoftheyear/article/0,28804,1690753%5F1690757,00.html) and has been on the TIME100 list multiple times, [including in 2022](https://time.com/collection/100-most-influential-people-2022/6177689/vladimir-putin-leaders/). 


## **King Charles III**

After a decades-long wait for the throne, King Charles III [took his position](https://time.com/magazine/us/6279473/may-22nd-2023-vol-201-no-19-worldwide/) as the head monarch of the United Kingdom, and other territories, this May. At a moment of change for the monarchy, he signified the power of tradition. His mother, [Queen Elizabeth II](https://content.time.com/time/specials/packages/article/0,28804,2019712%5F2019710%5F2019672,00.html), was named Person of the Year when she ascended the throne in 1952\. 

## **Jerome Powell** 

Jerome Powell, who has been Chairman of the Federal Reserve since February 2018, has played a key role managing high inflation in the U.S., trying to architect the so-called “soft landing” of reducing inflation by raising interest rates without causing a recession—a goal felt in the wallets of Americans and economies across the world. He has been on the TIME100 list twice (in [2019](https://time.com/collection/100-most-influential-people-2019/5567850/jerome-powell/) and [2020](https://time.com/collection/100-most-influential-people-2020/5888421/jerome-powell-federal-reserve/)).
