### 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.

## FindTheBest / Ben Taylor


Feb 20, 2014 2:00 PM UTC

On February 24th, it’s believed that Samsung will officially unveil the [Galaxy S5](http://smartphones.findthebest.com/l/659/Samsung-Galaxy-S5?utm%5Fmedium=PAX&utm%5Fsource=TIME&utm%5Fcampaign=TIME%5Fgalaxy%5Fs5&utm%5Fterm=galaxy%5Fs5). The screen will reportedly be a little bigger (5.2 inches), the camera nicer (probably 16 MPs), the presentation more polished, and the pastries in the lobby between 10-20% tastier than those served during Samsung’s last Galaxy reveal.

(**MORE:** [Samsung Galaxy S5 Rumor Roundup: Taking Our Best Guesses](http://techland.time.com/2014/02/05/samsung-galaxy-s5-rumor-roundup/))

The company will hopefully confirm the device’s rumored 560 pixels-per-inch display. “That’s over 70% more pixels per inch than the iPhone 5s,” a smiling Ryan Bidan (director of product marketing) should say, “and 1,000% higher than my best score on Flappy Bird.” A polite ripple of applause and tweets would surely follow.

Regrettably, Samsung will likely forget to do four things, all of which are more important than megapixels, croissants, and pixelated birds. Here’s what the Galaxy S5 should do…but probably won’t.

## 1\. Improve Touch Response Time

Ask any longtime iPhone user why she hasn’t switched to Android, and you’ll get a vague justification. “I just like the way Apple does it.” Most iPhone users can’t explain why exactly they prefer the iPhone user experience, but there’s a simple explanation: touch response time. According to a [2013 touch latency test](http://appglimpse.com/blog/touchmarks-i-smart-phone-touch-screen-latencies/), Android-powered phones take up to [2.5x longer](http://venturebeat.com/2013/09/19/apples-iphone-5-touchscreen-is-2-5-times-faster-than-android-devices/) than iPhones to register actions. Never mind that Galaxy screens have several other advantages (ex: bigger, [more accurate](http://news.cnet.com/8301-1035%5F3-57609329-94/samsung-galaxy-s3-outpaces-iphone-5s-5c-in-touch-accuracy/)): those milliseconds matter. The experience just feels smoother on an iPhone, and that difference—however slight—is worth 8 megapixels to the mass market of Mom, Dad, and Grandpa Joe.

Granted, Samsung needs Google’s help to solve this problem: no matter how much Samsung streamlines its TouchWiz interface, it’s the hardware-software integration that ultimately matters. Samsung could work more closely with the Android team—perhaps push for tighter harmony between OS and device—Samsung certainly has the leverage. Unfortunately, it would rather cram in megapixels than shave off milliseconds.


## 2\. Embrace Google

Samsung and Google are like a dysfunctional couple. They [fell hard for each other in 2009](http://www.brighthand.com/default.asp?newsID=15161&news=Samsung+I7500+Google+Android), moved in together (some say too quickly), then quarreled for the next four years. On multiple occasions, [Samsung has threatened to move out](http://news.cnet.com/8301-1035%5F3-57455054-94/would-samsung-ever-leave-android-new-ceo-drops-hints/), only to quietly apologize the next day, citing pressure from work. Lately, Google has demanded more attention from its on-again, off-again lover, insisting that Samsung [treats it in public](http://www.trustedreviews.com/news/google-memo-suggests-all-new-android-phones-must-run-android-4-4-kitkat) the same way it’s treated in private. Just last month, it got so bad, they had to [sign a legal document](http://online.wsj.com/news/articles/SB10001424052702303277704579345791388237228) over shared property.

Samsung may [want to succeed on its own](http://www.minyanville.com/sectors/technology/articles/SSNLF-GOOG-MSFT-AAPL-INTC-samsung/10/14/2013/id/52206#ixzz2hhV0AkOK?refresh=1), but the general public loves Samsung-and-Google, the couple. People want a slick device with seamless integration of Google services. Apple users love to complain about iCloud, Apple Maps, and jumbled mail services on iPhone, so why can’t Samsung promote its baby-cheek-smooth integration of Google services? Sure, reliable contact- and calendar-syncing doesn’t sound as sexy as “Snapdragon 800 processor,” but it’s exactly what jaded iOS users are looking for.


Samsung shouldn’t hide Android’s simplest, most elegant advantages. It should go back to the basics, and remind us why it fell in love with Google in the first place.

## 3\. Improve Design (Significantly)

Browse expert reviews for the S3 and S4, and you’ll find the Galaxy line’s “cheap, plasticky design” mentioned every time. For a company that [admits it’s better at hardware than software](http://blogs.wsj.com/korearealtime/2013/11/06/live-blog-samsungs-analyst-day/), it’s ironic that it can’t seem to nail the physical feel of the device.

There’s some hope here. Rumor has it Samsung will improve the quality of the Galaxy’s plastic shell, or even offer a [premium metal version](http://techland.time.com/2014/02/05/samsung-galaxy-s5-rumor-roundup/) alongside its base model. Still, I expect the improvements to be more reactionary than revolutionary. Reviewers will tick the “improved quality” box, but the Galaxy S5’s exterior architecture probably won’t win any headlines. The [iPhone and HTC One](http://smartphones.findthebest.com/compare/440-527/Apple-iPhone-5S-vs-HTC-One-2013?utm%5Fmedium=PAX&utm%5Fsource=TIME&utm%5Fcampaign=TIME%5Fgalaxy%5Fs5&utm%5Fterm=iphone%5Fhtc%5Fone) not only feel premium, they make stylistic statements—the sort of innovative construction that earns new customers.


As a leading smartphone manufacturer, Samsung should release a handset as beautiful as it is technically advanced. I’d love to be proven wrong, but for the S5? I don’t see it.

## 4\. Focus On Real-World Battery Life

Samsung’s always gone big with power: Rumors point to a massive 3,200 mAh battery and possibly, new “rapid charging” technology. No doubt, Samsung will boast record-breaking talk time and days upon days of standby time, based on “stringent tests” in the lab (read: Wi-Fi off, airplane mode, display dimmed). The problem is that these numbers rarely translate to real-world use. The average consumer jacks up the brightness, watches HD Sochi videos over LTE, and wouldn’t know how to find a power saving settings screen if his Candy Crush Saga high score depended on it.

If the S5 manages to hold a charge about as long as its competitors, that _will_ be an achievement, given that the screen must power 3,686,400 separate pixels (approximately five times as many as on an iPhone). But consumers won’t know that. When grandma is nursing 3% battery life at four in the afternoon, she won’t care how technically impressive Samsung’s display technology is—she’ll wish she had a few more hours of juice.


The 560 PPI headline will likely net Samsung a few more sales from enthusiasts, but at the cost of thousands more everyday users who don’t want to bother charging the device every night.

Samsung has the potential to make the best all-around smartphone on the market, but its priorities still aren’t in the right place. Oh well: at least we’ll get those pastries.
