### 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.

THEATER 

ANY WEDNESDAY lodges an executive’s sweetie in an executive suite as a tax and marriage dodge. As a kept waif, Sandy Dennis chug-a-lugs champagne from the bottle like Coke and cries through her smiles, leaving playgoers choked with laughter. Liquor may be quicker, as Ogden Nash once argued, but Sandy is dandy. 

FOXY dogsleds Bert Lahr up to the 1890s Yukon, and from there on the evening is fool’s gold, a bonanza of comic Lahrgesse.

All four play with great pride and inspiration, and Pettiford’s fingers seem propelled by a special power of insight. 

BIRD ON 52ND STREET (Fantasy) is a remarkably good collection of bebop period pieces by Altoist Charlie Parker; the boys in the band include Max Roach and Miles Davis. And on the album cover is a photo that is itself a thing of value: there stands smiling Bird in the middle of the street, and within spitting distance are marquees that bear the names of Coleman Hawkins, Dizzy Gillespie, Billy Eckstine, Jack Teagarden. 

THE SHERIFF (Atlantic) presents further bloodless transfusions of commedia dell’ arte and ritmos brasileiros into the arm of le jazz hot by John Lewis and the Modern Jazz Quartet; the patient dies, but not without a gallant and occasionally beautiful struggle. 

HERE’S LENA NOW! (20th Century-Fox) is a better exposition of Lena Home’s social conscience than of her craft or art. The lady lives up to the freedom-now lyrics, but the singer neglects some of the songs. 

JIM HALL (Pacific Jazz) is a pleasant sampler of soft and simple jazz, done with great finesse by Guitarist Hall and his trio. The late pianist Carl Perkins and Bassist Red Mitchell dignify the rhythm section with some fine rambling solos, and Drummer Larry Bunker tags along cheerfully.

THE FIRE WITHIN. The suicide of a charming, alcoholic gigolo (Maurice Ronet) animates this morbidly fascinating drama directed by France’s Louis (The Lovers) Malle. 

DR. STRANGELOVE, OR: HOW I LEARNED TO STOP WORRYING AND LOVE THE BOMB. Inadvertent nuclear war is sometimes hilarious, sometimes horrifying in Stanley Kubrick’s comedy of terrors. 

SUNDAY IN NEW YORK. Jane Fonda, Rod Taylor and Cliff Robertson add style to a frail charade detailing the decline and fall of a 22-year-old virgin who has found virtue unrewarding. 

THE GUEST. A superb performance by Donald Pleasence, repeating his stage role, enhances this film version of Harold Pinter’s offbeat, ambiguous The Caretaker. 

THE FIANCES. Italian Director Ermanno Olmi (The Sound of Trumpets) turns his camera to a couple engaged so long that they scarcely remember why. 

POINT OF ORDER. Senator Joseph McCarthy and Attorney Joseph Welch are adversaries in a bristling documentary taken from the 1954 Army-McCarthy hearings. 

THE EASY LIFE. One of the funniest-and saddest—Italian films in years offers Vittorio Gassman as a flashy Roman playboy whose jetaway pace spells disaster for a shy young law student.

TOM JONES. From Fielding’s bawdy, boisterous 18th century classic, Director Tony Richardson has fashioned one of the best movies in many years. 

BOOKS 

Best Reading 

THE CHILDREN AT THE GATE, by Edward Lewis Wallant. The last manuscript completed before the author’s death last year at 36, this novel tells of a daft but saintly man and how another slowly takes life and grace from him. 

THE MARTYRED, by Richard Kim. Also dealing with spiritual agony, this remorseless and controlled first novel takes the Korean war as its setting and the presumed martyrdom of twelve Christian ministers as its theme. Modern sainthood, the author finds, most often is achieved by men racked by doubt. 

THE BARBARY LIGHT, by P. H. Newby. A slight, wise tale about a successful con man who, in an unfortunate moment of candor, decides to tell his wife and his mistress about each other. To his dismay, they become fast friends. 

WHEN THE CHEERING STOPPED, by Gene Smith. For the last 17 months of his presidency, Woodrow Wilson was grievously ill, mentally and physically. Reporter Smith piles up evidence to show that the President’s wife and doctor kept the knowledge from the public while “the U.S. Government went out of business.” 

ONE FAT ENGLISHMAN, by Kingsley Amis. The author’s best novel since Lucky Jim tells of the misadventures of a rich, snobbish English publisher among some very irreverent Americans. 

THE WAPSHOT SCANDAL, by John Cheever. In this tender, moral tale of uprooted America, the 19th century Wapshots come to painful if comic terms with the 20th. Neither mourn nor imitate the old ways, says Author Cheever, but cherish their spirit as “a vision of life as hearty and fleeting as laughter.” 

REUBEN, REUBEN, by Peter De Vries. A raffish, gifted poet, who very much resembles Dylan Thomas, visits U.S. suburbia and proves to be a catalyst in combination with sex and liquor. The partying and the pratfalls are followed by a typical De Vries hangover of brooding second thoughts about modern life. 

A FINE MADNESS, by Elliott Baker. Another lighthearted novel about a poet, souse and womanizer who keeps the plot in motion with his talent for anarchy, his tropism for cops, and his tendency to rant at strangers. 

COOPER’S CREEK, by Alan Moorehead. The author again strikes out on unfamiliar terrain, this time telling the grim story of Burke and Wills, two 19th century Australian explorers, who first crossed their continent from south to north looking for rich prairies and finding an unsalvageable desert. They died on the way back. 

HITLER: A STUDY IN TYRANNY, by Alan Bullock. Historian Bullock has revised ,his ten-year-old biography, which is still the definitive study of Hitler. 

THE GOLDEN FRUITS, by Nathalie Sarraute. In this novel about the publication of a novel, Author Sarraute wittily dissects cultural toadies and intellectual conformity.
