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=948ff10e-0bd7-46b9-a098-64354516cfd2&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=948ff10e-0bd7-46b9-a098-64354516cfd2&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=948ff10e-0bd7-46b9-a098-64354516cfd2&cr=agentads-creative-pmi-v1) * PMI, "Maximizing Project Success" | [pmi.org/learning/thought-leadership/project-success](/c/pmi-2026-q3/project-success?i=948ff10e-0bd7-46b9-a098-64354516cfd2&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=948ff10e-0bd7-46b9-a098-64354516cfd2&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=948ff10e-0bd7-46b9-a098-64354516cfd2&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=948ff10e-0bd7-46b9-a098-64354516cfd2&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=948ff10e-0bd7-46b9-a098-64354516cfd2&cr=agentads-creative-pmi-v1) ### FAQ structured data (JSON-LD, optional) ## Video: Hospital Gives Update on Child Victims After Chief's Parade Shooting [Watch (HLS stream): Hospital Gives Update on Child Victims After Chief's Parade Shooting](https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/7FqIL8JS.m3u8) (1:15)  _Published 2024-02-15.

The fight that police say led to the shooting stemmed from a dispute between several people, authorities confirmed Thursday. The suspects are currently being held at the Juvenile Detention Center for charges related to resisting arrest and other “gun-related” offenses, per the 16th Judicial Circuit Court of Missouri's Jackson County Family Court Division. They are expected to face additional charges. There is no indication that the shooting was an act of terrorism, said Kansas City’s police chief Stacey Graves. During a Thursday press conference, Graves praised police response, as well as quick action taken by the parade’s attendees. “Those in attendance also responded,” Chief Graves said during a press conference.“They helped one another and even physically stopped a person who was believed to be involved in the incident.” Three people were initially detained as suspects, but police found that the third juvenile was not involved in the shooting. The Chiefs Super Bowl parade shooting is at least the 48th mass shooting in the U.S. this year, according to the Gun Violence Archive—a non-profit tracker that defines a mass shooting as one that involves four or more people killed or injured, not including the shooter. It is also the third sports celebration in less than 12 months to be tainted by gun violence, following a shooting in a parking lot during the 2023 Texas Rangers World Series parade in November, and another shooting that left 10 people injured in downtown Denver last June, after the Nuggets’ NBA championship. “The President has been briefed on the shooting in Kansas City and will continue to receive updates,” the White House told TIME. “White House officials have been in touch with state and local leaders, and federal law enforcement is on the scene supporting local law enforcement.” ## What we know so far Millions of people[ had gathered](https://time.com/6694916/chiefs-super-bowl-parade/) in downtown Kansas City, Mo., to celebrate the Kansas City Chiefs, who [won the Super Bowl](https://time.com/6693826/patrick-mahomes-super-bowl-chiefs-49ers-mvp-drive/) on Sunday. The parade began at 11 a.m. local time along 6th Street and Grand Boulevard, and more than 800 law enforcement officers were present, according to police chief Stacey Graves, who gave multiple press briefings Wednesday evening. But as the rally ended, chaos ensued on the west side of Union Station as the sound of gunshots prompted people to flee. At 2:13 p.m., [police confirmed on X](https://twitter.com/kcpolice/status/1757860652930978147) that shots were fired, and that “multiple people were struck.” They also ordered everyone to leave the area to allow first responders access to treat victims. Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly, who was present at the rally,[ confirmed](https://twitter.com/GovLauraKelly/status/1757864257100611707?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1757864257100611707%7Ctwgr%5E3945a94fe591b00895c9d243f1e4d38641aa4815%7Ctwcon%5Es1%5F&ref%5Furl=https%3A%2F%2Fabcnews.go.com%2FUS%2Fshooting-reported-kansas-city-after-chiefs-super-bowl%2Fstory%3Fid%3D107238682) she was out of harm’s way and urged everyone to follow instructions from local officials. Three people, yet unidentified, were taken into custody for further investigation following the shooting, and some firearms have been recovered, Graves said. She said that officers had chased one of the three suspects and that they are also looking into a video shared online of “some fans tackling someone,” to determine if the person caught on video is also one of the people under custody. Two of the suspects are juveniles, according to Graves. > [](https://twitter.com/ffb%5Ffanatics/status/1757872459905225087) “We are working to determine the involvement of others. And it should be noted we have recovered several firearms. This incident is still a very active investigation,” Graves said on Thursday. A dedicated phone line [was set up](https://twitter.com/kcpolice/status/1757962533908918618) for victims and for witnesses who may have information on the shooting. “I’m angry at what happened today,” Graves said on Wednesday. “To the people who were injured in this tragedy, our hearts go out to you and your families.” ## The victims Authorities say the 22 surviving victims range in age from 8 to 47 years old. At least half of the victims are under 16\. Local paper [_Kansas City Star_](https://www.kansascity.com/news/local/crime/article285494757.html?fbclid=IwAR0IicZmoLLnwHPn3aR8WGppqk1KXVVNMAFmZiED8GazjRpjmrKvcab3a-8) identified disc jockey Lisa Lopez-Galvan, a Johnson County mother of two who was in her mid-40s, as a victim who died, which her employer local radio station KFFI [confirmed](https://www.facebook.com/KKFI901FM/posts/871763004858410). Police confirmed on Thursday that Galvan, who they referred to as “Elizabeth Galvan,” had been killed in the incident. According to Kansas City Fire Department Interim Chief Ross Grundyson, eight injured victims had immediately life-threatening injuries and were transported to hospitals within 10 minutes, another seven had life-threatening injuries, while six had minor injuries. At least eight of those victims were children, authorities said, though Stephanie Meyer, senior vice president of nursing at Children’s Mercy Hospital, [said](https://twitter.com/JessMcMasterKC/status/1757925192356041180) later Wednesday that all of the children’s hospital’s treated patients are expected to have a full recovery. [CNN](https://edition.cnn.com/us/live-news/kansas-city-chiefs-parade-shooting-02-14-24/h%5Fdd7d7b5b54d7a5c4c3c22ca257620993) reported that 29 people have received treatment across four different hospitals, with 19 of them suffering from gunshot wounds. ## ‘Saddened’ and ‘senseless’ The [NFL](https://twitter.com/NFL/status/1757910494034424216) and [Kansas City Chiefs](https://twitter.com/Chiefs/status/1757898448660038109) each issued statements saying they were “saddened” by the shooting, which they both described as “senseless” violence, and they thanked law enforcement and first responders. The Chiefs confirmed that all players, coaches, staff and their families are safe and accounted for. Some players, including MVP quarterback Patrick Mahomes as well as star tight-end and Taylor Swift's boyfriend Travis Kelce, also posted on social media about the incident. > [](https://twitter.com/PatrickMahomes/status/1757874492733297003) > [](https://twitter.com/tkelce/status/1757944301898682680) Asked how the tragedy could occur despite extensive security measures, Kansas City Mayor Quinton Lucas said: “What you saw happen was why people talk about guns a lot. We had over 800 officers, their staff situated all around Union Station today. We had security in any number of places, eyes on top of buildings and beyond, and there still is a risk to people.” President Joe Biden said the Kansas City shooting “cuts deep in the American soul” and that “the epidemic of gun violence” is “tearing us at the seams,” in a [statement](https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2024/02/14/statement-from-president-joe-biden-on-todays-deadly-gun-violence/). “Today’s events should move us, shock us, shame us into acting.” _Nik Popli and Simmone Shah contributed reporting._ Kansas City Super Bowl Parade Shooting: Everything We Know So Far ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/6695035/super-bowl-parade-shooting/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/6695035/super-bowl-parade-shooting/"},"headline":"Kansas City Super Bowl Parade Shooting: Everything We Know So Far","datePublished":"2024-02-14T20:38:53.000Z","dateModified":"2026-01-19T12:10:28.000Z","description":"At least one person was killed and more than 20 others injured, while three people were taken into custody, authorities said.","url":"https://time.com/6695035/super-bowl-parade-shooting/","keywords":["Guns","overnight","News Desk"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltbf970981eb178377/698a489216d8844e2cc3d352/kansas-city-chiefs-parade-shooting.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Solcyré Burga","jobTitle":"Reporter","url":"https://time.com/author/solcyre-burga/"},{"@type":"Person","name":"Chad de Guzman","jobTitle":"Reporter","url":"https://time.com/author/chad-de-guzman/"}],"articleSection":"U.S.","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltbf970981eb178377/698a489216d8844e2cc3d352/kansas-city-chiefs-parade-shooting.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"kansas-city-chiefs-parade-shooting","caption":"Police respond after shots were fired near the Kansas City Chiefs' Super Bowl LVIII victory parade in Kansas City, Mo., on Feb. 14, 2024.","creditText":"Andrew Caballero-Reynolds—AFP/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/guns/","name":"Guns"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/6695035/super-bowl-parade-shooting/","name":"Kansas City Super Bowl Parade Shooting: Everything We Know So Far"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Hospital Gives Update on Child Victims After Chief's Parade Shooting","description":"What was meant to be a celebratory Super Bowl parade in Kansas City ended in tragedy Wednesday after a shooting incident killed at least one person and injured more than 20 others, according to authorities.","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/7FqIL8JS/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2024-02-15T15:03:59.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/7FqIL8JS.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/6695035/super-bowl-parade-shooting/","duration":"PT1M15S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/6695035/super-bowl-parade-shooting/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
