### 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.

Updated: Jan 19, 2026 8:46 AM UTCPublished: Jul 23, 2024 11:04 AM UTC

Amid a [chaotic](https://time.com/7001028/why-joe-biden-stepped-down/) [two weeks](https://time.com/6998896/behind-the-cover-interview-evan-vucci-trump-photorgraph/) in the U.S. elections, First Lady Jill Biden will still lead the American delegation at the [Opening Ceremony of the Olympic Games in Paris, France](https://time.com/6995210/olympics-opening-ceremony-paris-when-how-to-watch-performances-security/). 

The appearance will mark the First Lady’s first public appearance since her 81-year-old husband President Joe Biden [withdrew from re-election](https://time.com/7001028/why-joe-biden-stepped-down/) in the presidential race on Sunday over growing concerns about his [health and mental fitness](https://time.com/6999946/biden-covid-digs-musk-trump/). Rumors had been swirling that Jill, 73, could pull out or be replaced by [Vice President Kamala Harris](https://time.com/7001208/kamala-harris-views-abortion-economy-immigration-israel-gaza/), now the presumptive Democratic nominee. 

But in [a White House statement](https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2024/07/22/president-biden-announces-full-presidential-delegations-to-paris-france-to-attend-the-opening-and-closing-ceremonies-of-the-paris-2024-olympic-games/) published late on Monday, Biden announced the full presidential delegation who will be present at Friday’s ceremony—with Jill firmly at the top. 

Led by the First Lady, the presidential delegation will include U.S. Ambassador to France and Monaco Denise Campbell Bauer; Senators Chris Coons of Delaware and Alex Padilla of California; and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass. Also in attendance will be Casey Wasserman, chairperson of the LA 2028 Olympic & Paralympic Games; Brian Boitano, three-time Olympic gold medalist; and Dawn Staley, the head coach of the South Carolina Gamecocks women’s basketball team and a three-time Olympic gold medalist.

The opening ceremony will see Jill take her place alongside [French President Emmanuel Macron](https://time.com/5680174/france-emmanuel-macron-transcript-interview/) and his wife Brigitte alongside the Seine.

**Read More:** [_Inside the Billion-Dollar Effort to Clean Up the Seine_](https://time.com/6261729/seine-clean-up-paris-olympics-2024/)

Team USA has also selected two-time Olympic gold medallist [LeBron James](https://www.espn.com/olympics/story/%5F/id/40615377/lebron-james-bear-team-usa-flag-paris-olympics-ceremony) as its male flag-bearer for the opening ceremony. The move marks the first time a male basketball player will carry the U.S. flag in an Olympic setting. 

Meanwhile, Harris’ husband, second gentleman [Douglas Emhoff](https://time.com/6114517/doug-emhoff-second-gentleman-interview/), will lead the delegation at the closing ceremony on Aug. 11\. 

The trip will mark Jill’s second time leading the U.S. delegation, following her efforts at the [2020 Olympic games](https://time.com/6083203/tokyo-olympics-opening-ceremony-behind-the-scenes/) in Tokyo, which were rescheduled for 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. 

During her upcoming visit, Jill is expected to attend a number of other Olympic events. That includes a fundraiser in Paris hosted by former U.S. Ambassador to the E.U. Tony Gardner, Assistant Treasurer of the Democratic National Committee Lorna Johnson, and other officials. Tickets range from $500 to $25,000 for the event, [CNN reported](https://edition.cnn.com/2024/07/19/politics/jill-biden-fundraiser-paris/index.html). 

Jill was a central figure in defending her husband’s reelection bid and was [quick to reassure](https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cp4w21kznw1o) him after his [botched debate](https://time.com/6993760/joe-biden-debate-disaster-democratic-panic/) performance against Donald Trump last month. 

She has said very little about her husband’s departure from the presidential race. On Sunday, Jill reshared Biden’s resignation letter on [social media platform X,](https://x.com/DrBiden/status/1815083964207358095) with a hearts emoji in lieu of words.


**Correction, July 24**
