### 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.

Forecast of Growth 

Sir: 

Artist Artzybasheff can retire on the merits of the Gromyko cover alone (TIME, Aug. 18). The significance of the worm, Veto, devouring the fruit of the olive branch, hit me right between the eyes. 

While it is impossible to restrain a smile at the sight of this comical little monster, one wonders how many will smile when the worm, having ravaged the fruit, will have attained the proportions of a dragon. 

DONNA H. SOLIN Inglewood, Calif. 

The Devil & Mr. High 

Sir: 

So Mr. Stanley High is unhappy because the Protestant Church has offered him the right hand of fellowship when “what I am in greater need of is a kick in the pants” (TIME, Aug. 18). I should like, humbly, to offer my foot as a substitute. . . . 

He praises the Catholic Church for having not only a living God but also a live devil, who, he thinks, might be just the type of agent to scare him into salvation. . . . 

Would he spread democracy by threatening the world with Hitlerism and Stalinism rather than by making democracy attractive? Would he try to solve the world’s problems by fear rather than by freedom from fear? . . . 

We who like the idea of Free Choice grant Mr. High his personal right to goto Hell, Heaven or Purgatory in his own way. … I prefer to try to grow better and happier . . . through thought rather than threat. 

DON MOORE Chicago . . . 

Sir:…\[High\] has put his finger on the sore spot of the professional church today. Protestantism seems to want psychologists, sociologists, philosophers, etc. filling their pulpits, but not preachers of the Gospel which Stanley High claims he needs. 

As High has said, the people are waiting for a return to the pulpit of the man who will give them a few kicks … but the theological schools don’t train them that way any more. . . . ROBERT L. WENDT

Sprague Community Church Sprague, Neb. 

Sir: 

. . . Every trace of bitterness, anger, clamor, malice, idolatry, deceit, apathy in man’s character is sufficient manifestation of a live devil for most discerning Protestants. . . . 

The answer is more love, not fear! 

DOROTHY STANLEY Los Angeles 

How Del Monte Went Navy 

Sir: 

In the Aug. 11 edition of TIME, you have an article entitled “The Duke’s Heaven,” in which I figure quite prominently. … I would like to correct one great error. . . . The idea of turning Del Monte into a postgraduate school for naval officers originated entirely with the naval authorities and the matter came to me without any direct or indirect promotion. Incidentally, it is not a “Little Annapolis.” Del Monte was selected only after the most careful survey of innumerable sites in various parts of the country. . . . 

S. F. B. MORSE Del Monte, Calif. 

Stays & Armor 

Sir: 

As the foremost newsmagazine in the world, why not help the sane and intelligent women of our country to stop this new fashion trend (TIME, Aug. 18) ? . . . 

We have been taught not to bind our bodies so tightly for fear of offending nature. . . . Are we now going in for an era of fainting? . . 

For years we have aimed at being natural, and the result has been more attractive styles and better health. Why spoil it with grotesque changes? … In our generation has anyone really liked hips? 

Let us stay as we are—nice to look at and so very comfortable. 

HORTENSE C. WORDEMAN 

New York City 

Sir: 

Our modern women are demanding equality with men in almost every field of activity these days, but they will never be respected as intellectual equals as long as they allow money-seeking style-mongers to dictate a complete change in wardrobe every few years. . . ” 

C. C. MOORE JR. 

Washington, D.C. 

Sir: 

… If all husbands refuse to plunk down their hard-earned dollars for these backdated, repelling suits of armor, I’m sure the money-mad creators of fashion will once again create as we desire. I for one could not stand to see my lovely little wife turning blue as she gasped for air in a laced vise, nor would I enjoy the clank and clatter of new form-building pads as she tripped lightly by. Let the unshapely change their forms at will but I like my wife as is and prefer dresses that show it. … 

HERBERT H. SCHISLER JR. San Dimas, Calif. 

Writer of Songs 

Sir: 

Re: Fred Fisher, the composer of the current hit song Peg O’ My Heart \[TIME, July 7\]. … In view of your ever-conscientious attempts to report the pertinent facts as honestly as possible, it would seem important to clear up the rather glaring m’s-statement “Sick and no longer able to turn out hit tunes, he hanged himself five years ago.” At the time when he was no longer supposed to be able to turn out hit tunes, his song Whispering Grass was having great success in this country, later becoming a World War II hit in Great Britain and the Continent. And at the same time of his illness, he had the top hit song in England, She Wore a Little Jacket of Blue, for which he received the ASCAP award for the top song in that country.” 

He was composing music up to the very day of his death. . . . Fred Fisher could turn out hits as easily as he could brush his teeth. It was five operations and three years of cancer that turned my father inward to the decision that led him to end his suffering. 

DAN FISHER New York City 

Thinning Threads among the Bold 

Sir: 

We write in somewhat belated ire on your article “The Fleet’s In” \[TIME, July 28\]. … 

That \[U.S. midshipmen on summer cruise\] were “downy-cheeked” and the younger brothers of wartime servicemen came as a distinct surprise … to the men (numbering greater than 50%) who saw wartime service with one or more of the four services; to those who resigned themselves to shaving their “downy cheeks” seven or eight years ago and have for the last three or four years been grimly viewing a receding hairline. . . . 

JIM REDDICK JR. & W. S. PARR JR. 

AND 76 OTHER MIDSHIPMEN 

U.S.S. New Kent 

¶To Annapolis’ blue-jawed, balding, postwar midshipmen, TIME’S ensign is dipped in apology.—ED. 

Bonanza or Bribe? 

Sir: 

TIME may consider that “the 80th Congress had done all right by its 18 million veteran-constituents” \[TIME, Aug. 18\]. Some veterans do not share your enthusiasm for the work of the recently adjourned Congress. 

We do not consider the so-called “bonanza” of some $200,000,000 to be doing all right by us. We prefer lower prices, adequate housing, a VA free of politics, an FEPC, an increased minimum wage, and a guaranteed annual wage. . . . 

We are not bribed so easily, and we may have longer memories than we are evidently given credit for. 

JACK C. BUCKLE JAMES A. GITTINGS Huntingdon, Pa. 

Sir: 

. . . What the hell happened to all the proposed measures to house veterans and their families? I’d say the 80th Congress showed more allegiance to the real-estate lobby than it did to the veterans. It’s time they forget the obscure measures and face the real issues. 

TED LOEFF Beverly Hills, Calif. 

Sir: 

I object to the use of the word “gift” in the sentence, “the biggest single gift was the law permitting 8,500,000 ex-enlisted men to cash in $2 billion worth of World War II terminal leave bonds. . . .” 

Wages for services rendered are not in the category of “gifts.” . . .
