### 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.

Nepal’s Prime Minister Sharma Oli has resigned from his position as deadly anti-corruption protests continue across the country, with at least 22 people now reported dead. 

[Deadly clashes occurred](https://time.com/7315492/nepal-gen-z-protests-social-media-nepo-kids-corruption-explainer/) between police and so-called ‘Gen-Z’ protestors, mostly centered in Nepal’s capital Kathmandu on Monday, which were ignited after a government ban on social media blocked [26 platforms](https://www.nytimes.com/2025/09/07/world/asia/nepal-bans-social-media-platforms.html) for users in the country. 

The country's parliament building was set on fire by protesters, along with the homes of several high-ranking politicians. The wife of Nepal’s former prime minister Jhala Nath Khanal, Ravi Laxmi Chitrakar, was reportedly inside their house when it was set on fire and [suffered severe burns](https://www.nytimes.com/2025/09/09/world/asia/nepal-violent-protests-army.html).

Public discontent towards the Nepalese government has been rising to Monday’s eruption of protests, with [84% of the population](https://www.transparency.org/en/countries/nepal) believing that corruption is a big problem, according to corruption watchdog Transparency International. 

On Tuesday, Prime Minister Oli resigned following Monday’s violence, which saw 19 people killed by police, who used rubber bullets and tear gas against crowds. 

“In view of the adverse situation in the country, I have resigned effective today to facilitate the solution to the problem and to help resolve it politically in accordance with the constitution,” [said Oli](https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/young-anti-corruption-protests-force-nepal-pm-oli-quit-2025-09-09/) in his resignation letter to President Ramchandra Paudel.

Videos from Monday’s violence show protestors, some even in school uniforms, sustaining serious head injuries as demonstrators approached the parliament building. 

The social media ban was also lifted in response to Monday’s deadly protests. Despite both measures, the situation on Tuesday continued to escalate as protestors began [targeting the residences](https://kathmandupost.com/national/2025/09/09/army-evacuates-ministers-from-bhaisepati-amid-rising-protests) of government ministers in Kathmandu, as well [as the parliament building](https://x.com/kathmandupost/status/1965310895703351550). 

Damage to public buildings and businesses continued throughout Tuesday, spreading beyond Kathmandu, where the majority of Monday’s protests took place. 

The provincial assembly for the Gandaki province in Pokhara, Nepal’s second largest city, [was set on fire](https://x.com/kathmandupost/status/1965395233241440517), as well as the Siraha District Court in southeast Nepal, and at least[ a dozen government](https://x.com/kathmandupost/status/1965423255617232959) buildings across the Rupandehi province and the [Gautam Buddha International Airport ](https://x.com/kathmandupost/status/1965405244306948137)in the area.

Over 200 people were brought to Nepal’s Civil Service Hospital on Tuesday, according to the [hospital](https://www.nytimes.com/live/2025/09/09/world/nepal-protests/95fa3cd2-9bd2-5d81-81f9-37edcd9f54d0?smid=url-share). Three have died, bringing the death toll up to 22\. 

Volker Türk, the United Nations’s human rights chief, has [called](https://www.ohchr.org/en/press-releases/2025/09/nepal-turk-appalled-protest-killings-says-violence-not-answer) for an investigation into the deaths of protestors and all “reports of unnecessary and disproportionate use of force by the security forces.”

The embassies of 10 nations, including the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Japan, Germany and Switzerland, issued a [statement](https://x.com/USEmbassyNepal/status/1965109171101335965) on Monday in support of the “universal rights of peaceful assembly and freedom of expression” in Nepal.

The offices of local news outlet Kantipur were[ also targeted](https://x.com/kathmandupost/status/1965394452568309767) on Tuesday, leaving the network, as well as local media outlet the Kathmandu Post, unable to post updates on their websites. 

An indefinite curfew was imposed in the [city of Birgunj](https://x.com/kathmandupost/status/1965397625232122365) in southern Nepal, as well as for the entire Dang district in the southwest. However, protestors have disregarded the curfews, as did those in Kathmandu on Monday. 


In [a public address](https://x.com/ians%5Findia/status/1965441442672964032) issued Tuesday evening, Chief of the Nepal Army Staff Ashok Raj Sigdel said that the army would be mobiliZed from 10 p.m. local time to control the situation. “To lead the country towards peace from the present adverse situation, we appeal to the protesters to suspend their protest and come for dialogue,”[ said Sigdel](https://x.com/kathmandupost/status/1965441052053307588). 

Soldiers and armed police were [reported](https://www.nytimes.com/2025/09/09/world/asia/nepal-violent-protests-army.html) to be roaming some streets in Kathmandu early Tuesday morning following the announcement.

All airports across Nepal were also shut down on Tuesday, including Kathmandu’s Tribhuvan International Airport, the country’s largest airport. [Nepalese Army Personnel](https://thehimalayantimes.com/kathmandu/tribhuvan-international-airport-closed) has been deployed to the airport, with all international and domestic flights suspended until [12 p.m. local time Wednesday](https://x.com/kathmandupost/status/1965444027341508806).
