### 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.

The United Nations says that [at least 613](https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/613-killed-gaza-aid-distribution-sites-near-humanitarian-covoys-says-un-2025-07-04/) Palestinians have been killed in Gaza while collecting aid since the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) started operating in the strip on May 27, 509 of whom were at centers set up by GHF.

GHF is a controversial U.S. company backed by Israel to be the major distributor of aid in Gaza. The new aid distribution plan has been heavily criticized by the U.N. for its inaccessibility. Three of GHF’s distribution points are in southern Gaza, making it a long and difficult journey through militarized zones for many Palestinians. 

“From where I am, you have to walk 20 kilometers there and back, carrying food. Just the strongest and fastest can get there,” Oday Basheer, who lives in Deir al-Balah in central Gaza, [told TIME in June](https://time.com/7291862/gaza-israel-aid-shooting/). 

 “The weaponization of food for civilians, in addition to restricting or preventing their access to life-sustaining services, constitutes a war crime,” spokesperson for the U.N. Human Rights Office [Thameen Al Keetan said](https://news.un.org/en/story/2025/06/1164846) in June.

One main controversy surrounding the organization is [its use of private security personnel](https://www.cbsnews.com/news/gaza-humanitarian-foundation-ghf-breaching-rules-switzerland-authorities-say/), as well as private logistics companies to facilitate aid entering Gaza and its distribution. Gunfire towards Palestinians in search of aid has repeatedly been reported, with [witnesses claiming shots](https://time.com/7291862/gaza-israel-aid-shooting/) fired by Israel Defense Force (IDF) soldiers. 

The IDF has [previously said](https://x.com/IDF/status/1929778190253281517) on multiple occasions that it has fired warning shots in the direction of suspects approaching troops, and that [it has been examining](https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cj9vveg0vp9o) further reports of civilian casualties at aid sites.

Since GHF aid centers began operations, there have been [at least 18 incidents](https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cn5kk1w00xyo) of violence in which Palestinians have been killed at the aid centers, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry, its Civil Defense Agency, and health workers in Gaza.

On Thursday, the Associated Press (AP) reported that [two anonymous U.S. contractors](https://apnews.com/article/palestinians-israel-gaza-contractors-aid-distribution-fe27f3ea83e06a09d66424eed7a5d56f) working with GHF said that guards at aid sites were using stun grenades, pepper spray, and live minution as Palestinians collected aid. 

Video provided by one the contractors, published by the AP, also shows tightly-packed crowds of people jostling for aid with the sounds of gunfire and stun grenades nearby that appear to panic the crowds.

[In Brussels this week](https://www.thenationalnews.com/video/XDwgLlYf/us-contractors-guarding-gaza-aid-sites-admit-to-firing-live-ammunition-at-palestinians/), prior to the AP’s report, GHF chairman Johnnie Moore said: “We have not had a single violent incident in our distribution sites…\[or\] in close proximity to our distribution sites.”

“There is an unbelievable effort around the world to try to shut down our operation. We will not be shut down,” he added. 


GHF said in [a statement](https://ghf.org/ghf-statement-in-response-to-recent-ap-reporting/) on Thursday July 3 that the reporting from The Associated Press is “categorically false” and that “at no point were civilians under fire at a GHF distribution site. The gunfire heard in the video was confirmed to have originated from the IDF.” 

TIME has reached out to the IDF for comment. 

As of Tuesday, GHF said that it has distributed over 56.5 million meals to Palestinians in Gaza since the start of its operations. TIME has reached out to GHF regarding the videos and testimony from contractors.

This comes as over 170 charities and organizations, including Oxfam and Save The Children, [have called for GHF to be shut down](https://www.oxfam.org/en/press-releases/gaza-starvation-or-gunfire-not-humanitarian-response). Their joint statement issued June 30 says action must be taken to “revert to the existing U.N.-led coordination mechanisms, and lift the Israeli government’s blockade on aid and commercial supplies.”

The GHF distribution program came into place on May 27 after Israel initially let small amounts of U.N. aid into Gaza following an 11-week [blockade](https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c3d4kz8p00eo) of the strip. The new aid scheme was established after Israel accused Hamas of stealing aid entering the strip, which the United Nations [said](https://news.un.org/en/story/2025/05/1163756) it found no credible evidence for. 


“Under the Israeli government’s new scheme, starved and weakened civilians are being forced to trek for hours through dangerous terrain and active conflict zones,” the organizations’ statement says.

These concerns were echoed by Commissioner-General of The United Nations Relief and Works Agency, Philippe Lazzarini, on July 1\. [Lazzarini said](https://x.com/unlazzarini/status/1940001096740565137?s=46&t=ccWRJzS530FIzJwwxUAeMg) that GHF “provides nothing but starvation and gunfire to the people of Gaza. Under this new abomination, Gaza has gone from 400 aid distribution points to only four militarized distribution sites.”

Most of Gaza is now under Israeli controls after the resumption of military operations in the strip [in May](https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/5/6/israel-has-turned-70-of-gaza-into-no-go-zones-in-maps).
