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=d53b1a1f-e9c1-4c82-9d8c-724055ecd65a&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=d53b1a1f-e9c1-4c82-9d8c-724055ecd65a&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=d53b1a1f-e9c1-4c82-9d8c-724055ecd65a&cr=agentads-creative-pmi-v1) * PMI, "Maximizing Project Success" | [pmi.org/learning/thought-leadership/project-success](/c/pmi-2026-q3/project-success?i=d53b1a1f-e9c1-4c82-9d8c-724055ecd65a&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=d53b1a1f-e9c1-4c82-9d8c-724055ecd65a&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=d53b1a1f-e9c1-4c82-9d8c-724055ecd65a&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=d53b1a1f-e9c1-4c82-9d8c-724055ecd65a&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=d53b1a1f-e9c1-4c82-9d8c-724055ecd65a&cr=agentads-creative-pmi-v1) ### FAQ structured data (JSON-LD, optional)  by [Armani Syed](https://time.com/author/armani-syed/)  ## Armani Syed Syed was a reporter for TIME, based in the London bureau.

Feb 16, 2024 2:06 PM UTC Prince Harry has spoken publicly about his father for the first time since King Charles III was [diagnosed with cancer. ](https://time.com/6691653/king-charles-cancer-diagnosis/) In a [pre-recorded interview](https://twitter.com/GMA/status/1758471644228592016) with _Good Morning America_ that aired on Friday, the Duke of Sussex spoke to journalist Will Reeveabout the Invictus Games and his life in the U.S. He also opened up about visiting his father in London after [Buckingham Palace revealed](https://www.royal.uk/a-statement-from-buckingham-palace-5Feb24) on Feb. 5 that the monarch was receiving treatment for an undisclosed form of cancer. Harry said: “I love my family. The fact that I was able to get on a plane and go and see him and spend any time with him, I’m grateful for that.” The royal averted questions about the specific details of his father’s health, saying “that stays between me and him.” When asked if the King’s sickness is likely to have a “reunifying effect” for members of the royal family, Harry said he is “sure” it could. “Throughout all these families, I see it on a day to day basis… the strength of the family unit coming together.”  Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, attend the Invictus Games training camp on Feb. 15, 2024 in Whistler, British Columbia. Andrew Chin—Getty Images Harry also spoke to Reeve about balancing his own family and life in California with his responsibilities in the U.K. “My life in California is as it is. I’ve got other trips planned that will take me through the U.K. or back to the U.S. so I will stop in and see my family as much as I can,” he said. The royal was coy about his experiences as a father, joking that it was “super top secret,” but he confirmed that his children Prince Archie, 4, and Princess Lilibet, 2, are doing well. “The kids are doing great. The kids are growing up, like all kids do, very fast. They’ve both got an incredible sense of humor and make us laugh and keep us grounded every single day,” Harry said. The royal said his time in the U.S. is “amazing” but stopped short of saying he felt like an American. He also revealed that he has considered applying for U.S. citizenship, saying: “It’s a thought that has crossed my mind, but certainly not something that is a high priority right now.” > [](https://twitter.com/GMA/status/1758471644228592016) Harry also told Reeve that his desire to run the Invictus Games and help veterans stems from the “life of service” he has always led. “I get my fix being with these guys.” Harry and his wife of five years, Meghan Markle, had been visiting a training camp in Whistler, British Columbia, on Wednesday, ahead of the 2025 Invictus Games, an annual sports competition for injured military veterans that Prince Harry founded in 2014\. Harry participated in Skeleton—a head-first bobsledding sport that will feature in next year’s games—telling Reeve he is only “sometimes” competitive, depending on what the game is. Away from next year’s tournament, the couple is keeping busy with the relaunch of their official website. The name has been rebranded from _Sussex Royal_ to lose the royal connotation following their step back from duties. They also ceased use of their official social media accounts. [The new website _Sussex_](https://sussex.com/) platforms the Archewell Foundation, Archewell Productions, and other patronages, ventures, and organizations they share or hold individually. On Feb. 13, Meghan announced a [new deal with Lemonada Media](https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/meghan-markle-podcast-deal-lemonada-media-bhxmg65lm) to continue her podcasting work that began with Archetypes, a collaboration with Spotify that focused on female stereotypes. The podcast ran for a single series before the termination of a deal with the audio streaming giant in 2023.
