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=019c63de-2745-426e-9d0f-14e5c1806e90&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=019c63de-2745-426e-9d0f-14e5c1806e90&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=019c63de-2745-426e-9d0f-14e5c1806e90&cr=agentads-creative-pmi-v1) * PMI, "Maximizing Project Success" | [pmi.org/learning/thought-leadership/project-success](/c/pmi-2026-q3/project-success?i=019c63de-2745-426e-9d0f-14e5c1806e90&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=019c63de-2745-426e-9d0f-14e5c1806e90&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=019c63de-2745-426e-9d0f-14e5c1806e90&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=019c63de-2745-426e-9d0f-14e5c1806e90&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=019c63de-2745-426e-9d0f-14e5c1806e90&cr=agentads-creative-pmi-v1) ### FAQ structured data (JSON-LD, optional)  by [Chad de Guzman](https://time.com/author/chad-de-guzman/)  ## Chad de Guzman Reporter Updated: Jun 11, 2025 3:37 PM UTCPublished: Jun 11, 2025 4:45 AM UTC  California Gov. Gavin Newsom delivers an address on June 10, 2025. California Gov. Gavin Newsom delivers an address on June 10, 2025.Office of the California Governor via AP  by [Chad de Guzman](https://time.com/author/chad-de-guzman/)  ## Chad de Guzman Reporter Updated: Jun 11, 2025 3:37 PM UTCPublished: Jun 11, 2025 4:45 AM UTC “What’s happening right now is very different than anything we’ve seen before,” Gavin Newsom, the Governor of California, said in a speech Tuesday night that was seemingly addressed as much to his own state’s residents as to the nation. “This isn’t just about protests here in Los Angeles. When Donald Trump sought blanket authority to commandeer the National Guard, he made that order apply to every state in this nation,” Newsom said amid days of [unrest in southern California](https://time.com/7292232/la-protests-trump-best-photos/) after the President mobilized troops to quell violence and [vandalism](https://time.com/7292652/waymo-self-driving-cars-vandalized-fire-protests-los-angeles-why/) that had broken out during demonstrations against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids—an escalation Newsom called a “brazen abuse of power” that “inflamed a combustible situation.” “This is about all of us. This is about you,” Newsom said. “California may be first, but it clearly will not end here. Other states are next. Democracy is next.” Newsom lambasted Trump, calling him a President who “wants to be bound by no law or constitution, perpetuating a unified assault on American traditions.” And he [repeated his assertion](https://time.com/7292191/trump-newsom-national-guard-california-los-angeles-protests-legal-challenge/) that Trump was “fanning the flames” in Los Angeles “on purpose.” Newsom claimed that California could have managed the criminal behavior on its streets with its own law enforcement. “The situation was winding down and was concentrated in just a few square blocks downtown,” Newsom said. “But that—that’s not what Donald Trump wanted. He again chose escalation. He chose more force. He chose theatrics over public safety.” Newsom said the deployment of National Guard and Marine forces was done “illegally and for no reason” and pointed to a [legal challenge](https://time.com/7292875/trump-marines-la-immigration-protests/) filed by the state against the Trump Administration. “These are the men and women trained for foreign combat, not domestic law enforcement. We honor their service, we honor their bravery, but we do not want our streets militarized by our own armed forces—not in L.A., not in California, not anywhere.” Newsom, whose second and final term ends in 2027 and is considered to be a potential Democratic presidential candidate in 2028, focused much of his less-than-10-minute speech on pushing back against [Trump’s mass deportation effort](https://time.com/7291757/trump-deportation-ice-el-salvador/), which the California Governor linked to a broader slide toward authoritarianism. “California is no stranger to immigration enforcement, but instead of focusing on undocumented immigrants with serious criminal records and people with final deportation orders, a strategy both parties have long supported, this Administration is pushing mass deportations, indiscriminately targeting hard working immigrant families regardless of their roots or risk,” Newsom said. He spoke of the fear undocumented residents feel, saying that the Trump Administration is “pulling a military dragnet” across Los Angeles. “We’re seeing unmarked cars in school parking lots, kids afraid of attending their own graduation. … His agents are arresting dishwashers, gardeners, day laborers, and seamstresses. That’s just weakness, weakness masquerading as strength. Donald Trump’s government isn’t protecting our communities. They’re traumatizing our communities. And that seems to be the entire point.” “If some of us could be snatched off the streets without a warrant, based only on suspicion or skin color, then none of us are safe,” Newsom added. “Authoritarian regimes begin by targeting people who are least able to defend themselves, but they do not stop there. Trump and his loyalists—they thrive on division because it allows them to take more power and exert even more control.” The 57-year-old Democrat who has been criticized by some for earlier this year [appearing to take a more moderate tack](https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2025-03-28/newsom-podcast-democrats-toxic) as his national ambitions grow also outlined a list of criticisms of Trump that extend beyond immigration, including the [firing of government watchdogs](https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-firings-watchdogs-inspectors-general-60-minutes/); attacking [news organizations](https://rsf.org/en/trump-s-war-press-10-numbers-us-president-s-first-100-days), [universities](https://time.com/7283245/harvard-trump-funding-timeline/), [law firms](https://time.com/7272466/law-firms-trump-wilmerhale-jenner-block-paul-weiss-covington-burling/), and [the judicial branch](https://time.com/7269156/trump-judge-boasberg-impeach/); and holding a [military parade on Saturday](https://time.com/7293028/no-kings-day-protests-trump-parade/), “forcing them to put on a vulgar display to celebrate his birthday, just as other failed dictators have done in the past.” “Democracy is under assault before our eyes,” Newsom said, charging Trump with taking “a wrecking ball” to the principle of three co-equal branches of government. “There are no longer any checks and balances. Congress is nowhere to be found. Speaker Johnson has completely abdicated that responsibility. The Rule of Law has increasingly been giving way to the Rule of Don.” Newsom ended the speech with a call to action. “The Founding Fathers—they didn’t live and die to see this kind of moment. It’s time for all of us to stand up,” he said. “If you exercise your First Amendment rights, please, please do it peacefully. I know many of you are feeling deep anxiety, stress, and fear, but I want you to know that you are the antidote to that fear and that anxiety. What Donald Trump wants most is your fealty, your silence, to be complicit in this moment. Do not give in to him.” Trump, who has nicknamed Newsom “Newscum” on social media and called for the Governor to be [arrested](https://time.com/7292395/trump-newsom-arrest-la-protests-ice/) earlier this week, [posted](https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114664350602686558) Wednesday morning on Truth Social: “The INCOMPETENT Governor of California was unable to provide protection in a timely manner when our Ice Officers, GREAT Patriots they are, were attacked by an out of control mob of agitators, troublemakers, and/or insurrectionists. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!” ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/7293071/gavin-newsom-california-los-angeles-protests-speech-warning-nation-trump/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/7293071/gavin-newsom-california-los-angeles-protests-speech-warning-nation-trump/"},"headline":"‘Other States Are Next’: California Gov.
