### 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.

Pro-Palestinian demonstrations at the University of Mississippi turned sour Thursday as at least 200 counter protesters taunted their fellow students with renditions of The Star-Spangled Banner and other tunes, eventually leading to the evacuation of students on the campus. 

A group of roughly 50 to 60 pro-Palestinian protesters convened on the school’s Quad to demand the school’s divestment from Israel and protest the nation’s actions in Gaza following the Oct. 7 attack by Hamas that resulted in the death of 1,139 Israelis and 240 taken hostage. Some 35,000 Palestinians have been killed in the West Bank and Gaza since, according to the Hamas-controlled [Palestinian Ministry of Health](https://www.aljazeera.com/news/longform/2023/10/9/israel-hamas-war-in-maps-and-charts-live-tracker). 

Within an hour of the protest beginning, protesters were met by the medley of 200 counter protesters who descended upon them and began throwing objects and shouting at them, the [Clarion-Ledger](https://www.clarionledger.com/story/news/2024/05/02/university-of-mississippi-students-evacuated-off-campus-after-pro-palestine-protest/73545149007/) reports.

Video of the confrontation[ posted to Twitter](https://twitter.com/EndWokeness/status/1786119117000298652) shows the large group of counter protesters singing the National Anthem, drowning out chants made by the pro-Palestine and anti-war protesters. Additional online footage shows a [group, believed to be frat members, waving an American flag and Trump flag while chanting “We want Trump,](https://twitter.com/InterStarMedia/status/1786132864481841592)” as anti-war protesters can be heard shouting “Free, free Palestine.” 

As tensions escalated between the two groups, [police rushed onto the scene ](https://mississippitoday.org/2024/05/02/it-wasnt-equal-counter-protesters-overwhelm-pro-palestinian-students-at-the-university-of-mississippi/)and dispersed the crowd in front of the university’s School of Applied Sciences. Pro-Palestine protesters were then led inside the building by police, according to local reports. 

Ole Miss has not released an official statement about the protests, but Jacob Battle, director of media relations for the university, confirmed that the protesters were evacuated on buses and would not elaborate on whether they were students, per the [Clarion-Ledger](https://www.clarionledger.com/story/news/2024/05/02/university-of-mississippi-students-evacuated-off-campus-after-pro-palestine-protest/73545149007/). The initial protest was organized by a group called UMiss for Palestine. (The university has said that it does not have direct investment with Israel, [Mississippi Today](https://mississippitoday.org/2024/05/02/it-wasnt-equal-counter-protesters-overwhelm-pro-palestinian-students-at-the-university-of-mississippi/) reports.

Protests at Ole Miss are the latest of dozens sweeping universities across the country as students voice their discontent with the country’s involvement in the Israel-Hamas war. 

Mississippi [Gov. Tate Reeves took to Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/tatereeves/posts/pfbid02a46VcLHhmD9LbzxPiyrdDAzqKr1op69PTiRf3z3GnEkDJtBmrHAEGq1i1MXinZVGl) on Thursday to share his awareness of the university’s demonstrations, adding that local law enforcement was also aware of the protest.

“Campus police, City, County, and State assets are being deployed and coordinated,” Reeves said in the Thursday morning post. “We will offer a unified response with one mission: Peaceful protests are allowed and protected - no matter how outrageous those protesters' views may seem to some of us. But unlawful behavior will not be tolerated. It will be dealt with accordingly. Law and order will be maintained!”

The Republican governor later posted a video of the counter protesters on the campus, saying that the footage “warms my heart.”
