### 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.

Live Nation confirmed in a [regulatory filing](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1335258/000133525824000081/lyv-20240520.htm) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on Friday that its subsidiary Ticketmaster has suffered a data breach.

The filing stated that on May 20, the company noticed “unauthorized activity” within a database that contained “Company data” and subsequently “launched an investigation with industry-leading forensic investigators to understand what happened.” The filing went on to describe that on May 27, a “criminal threat actor” offered to sell, what it alleged to be, Ticketmaster data on “the dark web.”

## **What do we know about the Ticketmaster data breach and the force behind it?**

[Hackread reported](https://hackread.com/hackers-ticketmaster-data-breach-560m-users-sale/) on May 28 that the hacking group named ShinyHunters had claimed responsibility for the cyber-attack on the online forum BreachForums, a hacking website used to facilitate data breaches and the sharing of said data. In the post, the hacking group reportedly states it is seeking $500,000 for the 1.3TB database of compromised customer data, which it claims includes names, addresses, phone numbers, and credit card details of 560 million users.

Live Nation’s regulatory filing does not state how many of its Ticketmaster users’ data has been compromised by the hack, nor does it confirm if ShinyHunters is the culprit. 

TIME has reached out to Live Nation and Ticketmaster for comment and further information.

In the filing, Live Nation stated it was “working to mitigate risk to \[their\] users” and was cooperating with law enforcement officials. They went on to say that in their investigation, the breach was unlikely to make “a material impact on our overall business operations or on our financial condition or results of operations.”

## **What can Ticketmaster customers do to protect themselves?**

In the aftermath of this breach, Ticketmaster users can protect themselves by staying vigilant [against phishing attempts](https://time.com/personal-finance/article/credit-card-scams-to-know/), monitor accounts and credit cards, and change passwords, using strong and unique alternatives.

Live Nation and Ticketmaster have yet to release a public statement addressing the breach, but on [Ticketmaster’s website blog](https://blog.ticketmaster.com/account-security-tips-password-protect-tickets/) in April, ahead of the data hack, they provided general advice on how to protect information and tickets. They advised users to make sure to get contact information only from Ticketmaster’s official website and to be aware of fake customer service phone numbers that could appear in search engines.

## **Ticketmaster’s data breach comes at a trying time**

Ticketmaster specifically dominates the market for live events in the United States—so much so that on May 23, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) [sued Live Nation and Ticketmaster](https://time.com/6981467/justice-department-ticketmaster-live-nation-antitrust/), accusing them of running an [“illegal monopoly](https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/justice-department-sues-live-nation-ticketmaster-monopolizing-markets-across-live-concert)" over live events in America—destroying competition and driving up prices for fans.


Per the complaint, in 2022 "Ticketmaster accounted for at least 70% of the total face value associated with all tickets sold at large arenas and amphitheaters." In stark contrast, "no other rival ticketed more than 14%."

In the DOJ lawsuit, Live Nation is accused of multiple tactics, including using long-term contracts to keep venues from choosing rival ticketers, blocking venues from using multiple ticket sellers, and threatening venues that they could lose money and fans if they didn’t choose Ticketmaster.

## **What do we know about ShinyHunters?**

The hacking group claiming responsibility, ShinyHunters, is [well known for its data hacking](https://www.wired.com/story/shinyhunters-hacking-group-data-breach-spree/) of multiple companies in 2020 and 2021, including the Indonesian e-commerce site Tokopedia, the Indian education platform Unacademy, Wattpad, AT&T Wireless, and Microsoft. In January, one member of the ShinyHunters hacking group—a French citizen named Sebastien Raoult—was [arrested and sentenced](https://www.justice.gov/usao-wdwa/pr/member-notorious-international-hacking-crew-sentenced-prison#:~:text=Raoult%20participated%20in%20extensive%20computer,the%20Western%20District%20of%20Washington.) in U.S. District Court in Seattle to three years in prison.


In a statement following the arrest, the Justice Department said that between April 2020 and July 2021, ShinyHunters posted sales of hacked data from more than 60 companies, and that they stole hundreds of millions of customer records and caused loss to victim companies that is estimated to exceed $6 million.
