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=b160ddc8-425c-4803-b8c8-4fe617427d41&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=b160ddc8-425c-4803-b8c8-4fe617427d41&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=b160ddc8-425c-4803-b8c8-4fe617427d41&cr=agentads-creative-pmi-v1) * PMI, "Maximizing Project Success" | [pmi.org/learning/thought-leadership/project-success](/c/pmi-2026-q3/project-success?i=b160ddc8-425c-4803-b8c8-4fe617427d41&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=b160ddc8-425c-4803-b8c8-4fe617427d41&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=b160ddc8-425c-4803-b8c8-4fe617427d41&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=b160ddc8-425c-4803-b8c8-4fe617427d41&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=b160ddc8-425c-4803-b8c8-4fe617427d41&cr=agentads-creative-pmi-v1) ### FAQ structured data (JSON-LD, optional)  by [Rebecca Schneid](https://time.com/author/rebecca-schneid/)  ## Rebecca Schneid Reporter Jan 11, 2026 7:32 PM UTC  People walk through the streets to protest against ICE after the fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis, Minnesota on January 10, 2026\.

People walk through the streets to protest against ICE after the fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis, Minnesota on January 10, 2026\. A US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent shot and killed 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good on the streets of Minneapolis on January 7, leading to huge protests and outrage from local leaders who rejected White House claims she was a domestic terrorist.Charly Triballeau—AFP or licensors  by [Rebecca Schneid](https://time.com/author/rebecca-schneid/)  ## Rebecca Schneid Reporter Jan 11, 2026 7:32 PM UTC Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem vowed on Sunday to send “hundreds more” federal agents to Minneapolis as thousands continue to protest the [fatal shooting](https://time.com/7345200/ice-shooting-border-patrol-minneapolis-portland-renee-good-luis-moncada-yorlenys-zambrano-contreras/) of a woman by an immigration officer last week. “We’re sending more officers today and tomorrow,” Noem said on Fox News’ _Sunday Morning Futures._ “They’ll arrive — there’ll be hundreds more, in order to allow our ICE and our Border Patrol individuals that are working in Minneapolis to do so safely.” She cited the recent [welfare fraud scandal](https://time.com/7343133/why-tim-walz-is-dropping-out-of-minnesota-governor-race/) in Minnesota as the reason for sending the agents, who she says will “uncover the true corruption and theft that has happened.” **Read More:** [_Federal Officers Don’t Have ‘Absolute Immunity’ but Prosecution Isn’t Easy_](https://time.com/7344924/federal-officers-shooting-immigration-portland-minneapolis-prosecution-immunity/) Noem’s announcement came a day after tens of thousands took to the streets of Minneapolis to protest over the killing of 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good by an immigration officer and the continued presence of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in the city. Good, a mother of three and a poet, was killed in front of her partner while inside her car on Wednesday. Those protests have since spread across [the country](https://time.com/7345243/ice-protests-renee-good/). In the immediate aftermath of the shooting, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey called for ICE to “Get the f— out” of the city. Frey has continually said that ICE agents’ presence in the city has created more chaos, fear, and danger for citizens: “Your stated reason for being in this city is to create some kind of safety, and you are doing exactly the opposite,” he said on Wednesday. The White House and Noem have continued to defend the actions of ICE agent Jonathan Ross as self-defense, while Frey and other Democrats have vehemently disagreed. “This was clearly a law enforcement action, where the officer acted on his training and defended himself and his life and his fellow colleagues,” Noem said on CNN’s _State of the Union_, also on Sunday. Noem blamed local leaders for fanning the flames, claiming that Good’s death is “why we need our leaders to turn down their rhetoric.” “They’ve extremely politicized and inappropriately talked about this situation on the ground in their city. They’ve inflamed the public,” Noem said of Frey and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz. “They’ve encouraged the kind of destruction and violence that we’ve seen in Minneapolis these last several days.” Frey said Saturday that the “vast majority of community members have demonstrated peacefully,” although 30 protestors were arrested on Friday evening for mild property damage and blocking streets, according to police. Speaking to Kristin Welker on NBC’s _Meet the Press_ on Sunday, Frey said he had “deep mistrust” of federal agencies looking into Good’s death and requested that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (F.B.I.) allow state agencies to aid in an investigation. Frey pointed to viral cell phone videos of Good’s interactions with immigration officers before she was shot, videos he says prove she was attempting to leave the scene rather than “run over” an officer, as President Trump and Noem have claimed. “You don’t need to take my word for it. You don’t need to take their word for it. Watch the video,” Frey said. In the video, Good’s car can be seen reversing, her tires facing away from the officer who fired into the side of her car. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/7345325/ice-minneapolis-kristi-noem/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/7345325/ice-minneapolis-kristi-noem/"},"headline":"Noem Says Hundreds More Agents Will Be Sent To Minneapolis To Support ICE After Fatal Shooting","datePublished":"2026-01-11T19:32:39.000Z","dateModified":"2026-03-11T00:46:00.222Z","description":"The announcement comes days after the fatal shooting of a woman by ICE, and as thousands continue to protest ICE presence in the city","url":"https://time.com/7345325/ice-minneapolis-kristi-noem/","keywords":["Minnesota","News","News Desk"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt26036797bce6b69b/6998ccc2a97fc07f36a74fdc/GettyImages-2255022911.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Rebecca Schneid","jobTitle":"Reporter","url":"https://time.com/author/rebecca-schneid/"}],"articleSection":"U.S.","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt26036797bce6b69b/6998ccc2a97fc07f36a74fdc/GettyImages-2255022911.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"US-IMMIGRATION-ICE-SHOOTING","caption":"US-IMMIGRATION-ICE-SHOOTING","creditText":"Charly Triballeau—AFP or licensors","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/us/","name":"U.S."}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/minnesota/","name":"Minnesota"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/7345325/ice-minneapolis-kristi-noem/","name":"Noem Says Hundreds More Agents Will Be Sent To Minneapolis To Support ICE After Fatal Shooting"}}]}] ```
